First Party Collections
When it comes to collections, timing is everything. Accounts that are 30–90 days past due carry the highest probability of recovery—before balances age, resolve becomes harder, and customer relationships begin to strain. Magellan’s First Party Collections service empowers businesses to intervene early with a supportive, brand-aligned approach that keeps customers engaged and revenue flowing.
We operate in your name, as an extension of your internal team, strengthening your customer experience while improving your recovery performance.
Proactive Recovery for Better Results
Early-stage outreach dramatically increases the likelihood that customers will understand their balance, correct oversights, and make payment arrangements. By engaging before accounts become severely delinquent, Magellan helps organizations avoid:
Costly write-offs
Higher downstream collection expenses
Customer frustration and disengagement
Damage to brand reputation
Our respectful, problem-solving approach keeps customers responsive and cooperative—before escalation becomes necessary.
Customer-Focused Approach
First Party Collections is fundamentally different from standard collections. Instead of external-agency positioning, Magellan communicates as your organization, maintaining your tone, values, and brand promise.
Our agents use soft-touch methods that focus on:
Clarification, not confrontation
Helping customers understand their options
Addressing obstacles that prevent payment
Creating realistic payment arrangements
Preserving long-term customer relationships
This approach strengthens loyalty while reducing delinquency.
