Invoice & Payment Collection Enforcer
Recover more payments with AI-powered enforcement and zero legal risk
What You Can Do
Use Claude to automate your entire collection workflow, from first touch to recovery, with legally sound escalation protocols. You'll recover more money in less time, reduce bad debt write-offs by 25-40%, and build defensible collection records that withstand legal scrutiny. Claude handles customized demand letters, compliance validation, debtor profiling, and escalation strategies tailored to account age, debtor behavior, and jurisdiction.
Features
Claude analyzes state and federal collection laws to recommend next steps (demand, certified mail, attorney referral, suit) without exposing your company to FDCPA violations, state attorney general complaints, or licensing issues.
Generate demand letters that comply with FDCPA timing rules, debt verification requirements, and state-specific claims language. Each letter is auditable and evidence-ready for litigation.
Claude scores likelihood-to-pay based on payment history, debtor communications, account age, and industry benchmarks. Identify which accounts to prioritize for recovery vs. litigation.
Automatically recommend escalation steps based on days past due, debtor response, payment patterns, and jurisdiction. Decide when to send certified mail, engage attorneys, pursue wage garnishment, or accept settlement.
Generate settlement offers, payment plans, and hardship responses that maximize recovery while maintaining compliance. Includes hardship assessment logic to avoid bad-faith claims.
Claude maintains timestamped records of all communications, decisions, and escalations for compliance audits, litigation discovery, and regulatory review.
Calculate when recovery is economically justified. Factor in collection costs, attorney fees, litigation risk, and debtor ability-to-pay to avoid chasing uncollectible accounts.
Share escalation strategies, negotiation drafts, and recovery decisions with your team in Claude for transparent, auditable collection workflows.
Example Output
Example 1: 45-Day Past Due Account (B2B)
Debtor: ABC Corp, $12,500 outstanding, manufacturing sector
Risk Profile: Medium Risk
- Payment history: 2 late payments in past year
- Days past due: 45
- Jurisdiction: California
- Recommended action: Certified demand letter (FDCPA-compliant)
Draft demand letter (UCC 3-701 compliant):
[Letter text with California-specific language, 30-day verification window, FDCPA disclosures]
Next escalation trigger: If no response in 14 days, recommend attorney referral
Estimated recovery time: 30-45 days
Estimated recovery rate: 78% (industry benchmark for this profile)
Legal risk: Low (follows CA Code of Civil Procedure)
Example 2: 120-Day Past Due Account (Medical, High Volume)
Debtor: John Smith, $3,800 medical balance, known income ($45K/year)
Risk Profile: High Risk, but collectible via wage garnishment
- Payment history: No prior payments, ignored 3 letters
- Days past due: 120
- Jurisdiction: Texas
- Ability-to-pay: ~$150/month via garnishment
- Recommended action: Settlement offer + payment plan (60% recovery) vs. wage garnishment (40% recovery over 24 months)
Settlement offer:
[Hardship-assessed offer allowing $75/mo payment over 12 months = $900 recovery]
Alternative escalation:
Wage garnishment referral (attorney) = ~$50/mo for 24 months = $1,200 recovery
Recommendation: Offer settlement first (higher immediate recovery, preserves customer relationship for bundling with spouse account). Escalate to attorney if rejected in 7 days.
Estimated legal cost: $250-400 (if garnishment needed)
Net recovery: $500-900
Example 3: Large B2B Account (Dispute Scenario)
Debtor: Widget Manufacturing LLC, $45,000, 90 days past due, partial payment dispute
Risk Profile: Complex (disputed amount)
- $45K claimed, debtor contesting $12K (claims defective goods)
- Payment history: 5-year customer, always paid in full
- Recommended action: Mediation + partial payment acceptance
Strategy:
1. Validate dispute claim (contact operations, review delivery records)
2. Offer to settle disputed portion ($12K down to $6K credit) in exchange for immediate payment of $39K
3. Document entire negotiation thread for litigation defense
4. If mediation fails, escalate to attorney for commercial debt recovery suit
Expected outcome: $39K + $6K credit settlement (88% recovery) in 30 days
Legal cost: $150 (documentation only)
Alternative (litigation): $45K recovery in 180+ days, $3-5K legal fees
Recommendation: Negotiate settlement immediately
