Why Utility Providers Face Unique Debt Recovery Challenges?

High Volume of Customer Accounts

Utility providers often manage hundreds of thousands of customer accounts. Late payments are frequent and difficult to manage manually:

• High volume of overdue invoices.
• Complex segmentation across customer types and regions.

Essential Nature of Services

Utility companies provide crucial services like electricity, gas, and water. This adds sensitivity to debt collection efforts:

• Cutting off services may cause reputational or legal harm.
• Collections must balance business needs with empathy and care.

Regulatory Compliance

Regulators like Ofgem require strict adherence to consumer protection policies:

• Debt recovery efforts must comply with rules on notice periods and vulnerable customers.
• Handling of personal data must follow GDPR and industry best practices.
