I collected on consumer credit card debts, inbound and outbound calls. Performed financial assessments with consumers to meet the needs of the client, negotiated terms and set up payments. I communicated objectives with consumers in a clear and professional manner. I utilized skip tracing techniques to locate consumers or possible known associates. I was responsible for identifying and resolving any escalated customer concerns in a timely and professional manner, and responded to/redirected calls as appropriate. I took escalated calls; I effectively used logic to resolve issues as they arose. I followed established client policies, company guidelines, compliance and production standards. I consistently maintained goals that exceeded company standards, received numerous awards, the greatest of which was the Star Award.
