Talk:Dunning (process)

Usage of term
There may already be an article on this... or maybe not. There's a major article on this topic at Collection agency. Note that the word "dunning" is not used in the U.S., which makes me suspicious this may be covered elsewhere. --Xyzzyplugh 15:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've put a note on Talk:Collection agency for them to consider including dunning. --SueHay 02:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I print phone bills in the United States and use Dunning for over due bills. I've seen it used elsewhere in the US too. JPP355 (talk) 22:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Like Xyzzyplugh a few lines above, I've never heard of "dunning", even though it is listed in my 1986 Collins English Dictionary (a UK dictionary - I'm from the UK). Google searching shows it appears to be standard in New York City where there are special laws about how it can be done - though I can't help suspecting that even there it might be legalese rather than day-to-day language. I'm not familiar with money matters, but terms I recognise include "reminder" or "reminder letter" or "invoice reminder" and, if the debtor persistently refuses to pay, you can call on the services of a "debt collection agency" - and even then I've never heard of a debt collection agency "dunning" people. E.g. see https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/50961/ . UBJ 43X (talk) 21:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I can confirm dunning is a standard process for many collection agencies in USA, and is referred to by that name. I would dispute however the language that dunning "progresses" from gentle reminders to threatening letters and intimidating visits, as this implies that these extreme actions are standard steps of all dunning, when the process may simply stop if no response is received. --50.73.17.29 (talk) 16:33, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Tautologicaly true
> It is acceptable to issue firm reminders and to take all allowable collection options.

Yes of course it is acceptable to take actions that are allowed. By definition. And as laws differ by jurisdiction, wikipedia can't really flatly say that issuing "firm reminders" is legal. (What makes a reminder "firm", anyway?)
