Looking forward to another week of engaging discussions and shared learning. Stay connected and keep contributing your experiences and questions.

At 1–5 DPD we added a quick “reason-for-miss” tag on first contact and routed flows — “forgot” = same-call autopay setup, “cash flow” = due-date shift or split pay — and our 60+ roll inched down. Caveat: only works with clear SMS/email consent and solid QA on the tags; anyone seeing better lift with @collections_ops? Kinda like sorting laundry before you wash.

We cut 60+ rolls after layering a 7–15 DPD ‘click-to-commit’ SMS: borrower picks a date within 7 days, it logs a PTP and offers one-tap autopay; if the promise breaks, we nudge within 24h. Building on @chrisW231’s “reason-for-miss,” this tiny nudge beats a long script, but make sure compliance signs off on the SMS cadence and keep email as a fallback for opt-outs.

Quick win for us: we embedded a secure ‘update card in 10 seconds’ deeplink in the first missed-payment push and email, prefilled with masked card info; we saw fewer 60+ rolls from card expirations, though it’s weaker if most of your book pays via ACH. If you try it, add @OpsTeam’s plain subject lines so it doesn’t look phishy.

Quick example: we added a one‑tap “move to payday” link in the first past‑due email that reschedules the next pull and auto‑offers a two‑part catch‑up; it trimmed our long‑aging accounts, but we cap it at once per 90 days to prevent gaming, @kyleJ77.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠​‌‍⁠⁠‌‍​‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠​​‌⁠​‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‍⁠​⁠‍​‌⁠‍​‌⁠​‌‌​‍‍‌‌​​‌​⁠‍​⁠​‍‌‍‍​‌‌‌⁠‌‍⁠​‌‌​​‌​⁠‌​⁠​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

We got traction by tying our 5–10 DPD nudges to a quick ‘income change’ attestation: if they self-attest, the app unlocks a single-cycle deferral with a calendar hold and a fresh schedule via SMS; if not, it offers a 3‑part catch‑up. It trimmed our 60+ DPD for variable‑income borrowers, though we had to tune it with compliance sign‑off in CA and NY. @NateC said it best: keep the path “fast and obvious,” like the big green exit sign on a freeway.

Picking up on last week’s delinquency focus, we trimmed our 60+ by adding a ‘reply HELP’ SMS in the days 6–9 window that opens a lightweight flow and auto-books a 15‑min slot via Calendly; it took one day to stand up and cost under $200. Small caveat: make TCPA consent and a clear STOP option explicit so it doesn’t create complaints.
