The Bao Lyon Group, LLC Is it recoverable?
A survey reveals that the longer an account remains delinquent, the lower the probability of a full recovery.
Survey results indicate a sharp decline in the likelihood of fully recovering a delinquent receivable as the period of delinquency increases.

Time: The general rule that the longer a debt is outstanding, the harder it is to collect, remains true.
Type of debt: The kind of debt plays a significant role in recovery. For example, B2B debts generally have higher recovery rates (30–70%)* than consumer debts, while medical debt is notoriously difficult to recover (15–25%).*
Industry statistics: Broader industry averages also differ from the figures cited. Recent reports show average collection success rates ranging from 11% to 19%.*
Collection strategies: The methods used for collection also impact the success rate. Agencies that use advanced tools like skip tracing and credit reporting tend to have higher recovery rates. For accounts under 90 days past due, early and consistent follow-up is more likely to yield payment.
Economic conditions: Broader economic conditions can affect recovery rates. Default recovery rates are known to be volatile and cyclical.

Since industries and international markets do not perform uniformly, it is critical for your organization to have access to experienced professionals who can recommend a proactive plan of action.
Studies confirm that proactively managing accounts receivable is crucial. Allowing delinquent accounts to age severely impacts your company's liquidity and consumes valuable management and staff time that could be dedicated to more productive tasks. Businesses must adopt a firm approach to past-due receivables and seek expert guidance when internal efforts prove insufficient. Contact us today for a complimentary evaluation of your situation.

The "statute of limitations" factor
A statute of limitations is a law that establishes a maximum time frame for initiating legal proceedings after a damage or injury has occurred. Key aspects include:
- Varies by case: The specific time limit is not universal but depends on the type of legal action.
- Dual purpose: Rooted in early Roman law, these statutes serve two primary goals:
- Promote timely action: They encourage parties to pursue their cases promptly, when evidence is fresh and reliable.
- Prevent unfair claims: They protect potential defendants from fraudulent or "stale" claims that arise long after evidence and witness recollections have faded.
- Applies broadly: Statutes of limitations are a fundamental principle in European and U.S. law, applicable to both civil and criminal cases.
*The world rules and regulations are in a constant change. The statute of limitations may change in countries due to law updates, modifications and government political influence. Those changes might not be reflected immediately in the global description provided.
