Denver, if letters fail to bring results, ?vfe notify him that draft will be made on him on a certain date. If he does not pay by that date, draft is made on him in the regular way through our bank. If no attention is paid to the draft or it is refused, we then attempt to make collection through what is call- ed the Credit Association. This is a New York concern which is also in the nature of a collection agency. There is a series of two dunning letters, and If these bring no result, a draft on a form furnished by the association, is sent to the bank designated by it in the town in which the customer lives. Attached to the draft is a letter to the association's attorney in that town asking him to proceed with the collec- tion of the account. If the draft is not paid through the bank the account is then given by the bank to the at- torney. We also keep in our office a card file of all accounts which have been charg- ed off as lost, and which have not been outlawed, bankrupt or gone out of business. The card shows in whose hands the account is at the present time. If the account is in the hands of an attorney the card shows that fact. The other accounts are simply carried along in the file in the hope of some time locating the customer who has changed his address and disap- peared. These cards are looked over periodically, any further steps which seem advisable are taken to enforce collection, and as fast as an account is paid or outlawed, the card is taken from the file and destroyed. We some- times get an account against a man who is notoriously bad pay—and gen- erally for a small amount. In such cases our collector is instructed to be very persistent and if the account is not paid to continue to annoy the man even in the presence of his customers in his own office.
