      We had the same issue as Cherie – on Crown land. We won – they shut down….

                Thanks JT.

                We would still retain the staff member and they would look after payments, client status reports and the like (as well as other non-recovery work), but I was wanting the agent to take and manage arrangements/direct debits on accounts that have been referred to them. Wanting them to issue text messages and possibly phone calls before a demand letter (I would expect to pay for this service). Wouldn’t entertain giving them access to our systems though.

                  Hi Lynda,

                  We have been using SMS for the last few years and have found it to be a success in terms of collections and reduction in legal action. There is also a significant cost saving as opposed to issuing letters. The biggest challenge for any Council considering SMS is your phone number database. We worked closely with our Customer call centre to ensure we captured as many ratepayer phone numbers as possible. Cheers, Rob.
