A debt collection agency acts as an intermediary between a debtor and a creditor. It can facilitate a payment schedule for the debtors.
The communication between the collection agents and the debtors is the quickest and easiest way to solve the debt situation under conditions that are favorable to all parties.

Debt collection process
Who are the companies (creditors) that refer collection of debt?
Who is the debtor?
Banking institution
Telecom companies
Leasing
Insurance
FMCG
Universities
Pharma etc.
Natural persons (employees, students, etc.)
Legal persons (limited liability company, corporations, etc.)
Rights over the debt are referred to a debt collection agency or a consortium of companies.
Collection is taken over by the company which owns the rights over the debt.
Rights over the debt are kept by the creditor
Debt collection operations are performed by the contracted company, in return receiving a fee, according to the service agreement.
Discussions with the debtor include:1. Identify solutions for payment of debt;2. Decide on the best option for both the debtor
and the creditor; 3. Agree and sign a written agreement based on
previous discussions.
Why do companies choose to externalize debt collection?
A possible answer would be due to legislation (e.g.: prudential rules regarding non-performing loans), cash flows constraints and decisions to increase operational efficiency can lead to debt collection externalization.
How is debt transferred to debt collection companies?
a. Purchase rights for the debt (Debt purchased)
b. Collection based on success fee (Debt Serviced)

B2C segment: The number of active clients has slightly increased compared to the similar period from 2016, mostly due to the international clients. Most of the clients are from Banking, Insurance and Telecom industries.
B2B segment: Most of the active clients come from other industries such as FMCG, Pharma, IT, Distribution, with a rather limited representation from the Banking and Telecom sector.
The higher share of banking B2C clients can be explained by the tendency of reducing risk related to NPLs.

The expectations for the second half of 2017 are rather reserved due to regulatory instability
Debt collection sector expectations for 2017
Major growth drivers B2C.
AMCC members that participated in the survey stated social (population indebtedness), economical (salaries evolution) and specific regulatory aspects to have impact on the debt collection market evolution. Cultural openness to debt collection procedures has registered a slightly growth in importance among the members.
Major growth drivers B2B.
Similar to B2C, social and economical factors are expected to have a great impact on market evolution. GDP evolution has become as important as the specific regulations factor, together with the evolution on the Euro market that can have a direct impact on B2B local market.
Expectations: The AMCC members expect that the
proposed regulatory changes in Romania will significantly influence the market.
Thus, factors as population level of indebtedness for B2C or financial leverage degree in B2B will have a higher impact in the debtors payment behavior.

Sector evolution for the second part of 2017 will be rather constant, respondents estimating a slight increase in values collected
Sector evolution in S1 2017
Sector evolution. B2B market has registered a steady growth when compared to S1 2016, counterbalancing the decrease in the B2C sector. Increase is mostly determined by purchased debt.

expand service offering to overcome potential payment problems on the debtors’ side;
Increase the importance of juridical collection;
Market evolution until the end of the year. Respondents expect an increase in revenues, sustained by previously referred portfolio which will reach maturity in the second part of the year. Market growth could also be influenced by the evolution of the debts recovered on both B2C and B2B market.
The respondents also look to foresee repayment issues with a more diversified service portfolio.
