Why Send Debt Collection Letters by Post?
Debt collection letters request payment of long-term outstanding invoices, and their physical format is what makes them effective. A printed letter demanding immediate action lands on a desk and stays there – it cannot be filtered, batch-deleted or scrolled past like an email – so organisations find it far harder to ignore. The entire mailing process can be automated using The Direct Mail Company, so overdue accounts are chased consistently without your team lifting a finger.
What Is the Debt Collection Mailing Process?
The debt collection mailing process includes three stages:
- Collecting data – You supply your data in the agreed format to the mailing house.
- Following logical rules – The rules of your debt collection process are defined and built into a logical programme that controls when and how each letter is created and sent.
- Structuring the mailing – The structure of the mailing is agreed with the mailing house. Usually the debt collection letters are the same for each customer, with the variable data printed onto each mailing – for example the customer’s name, address, invoice details and payment amount due.
Why Outsource Your Debt Collection Letters to a Mailing House?
Outsourcing your debt collection transactional mail campaign to a professional mailing house takes the hassle out of your hands. The mailing house manages the complete mail fulfilment of your transactional campaign, from designing, printing and enclosing through to postage and distribution. At The Direct Mail Company, we offer bulk postage rates on 500+ items that we guarantee to be cheaper than stamps, franking and Mailmark franking. Due to the high volume of mail we send out each year, we can offer bulk postage discounts on your transactional mail for volumes above just 200 – undoubtedly cheaper than Royal Mail retail rates and many other providers.

Debt Collection Letters: Frequently Asked Questions
Why are debt collection letters sent by post rather than email?
Their physicality. A printed letter demanding immediate action is far harder for an organisation to ignore than an email, which can be filtered or deleted in seconds.
Can the debt collection mailing process be automated?
Yes. Your collection rules are built into a logical programme, and letters are then generated, printed and posted automatically as accounts become overdue.
What information is personalised on each debt collection letter?
Each letter carries variable data printed per recipient – typically the customer’s name, address, invoice details and the payment amount due – on an otherwise standard template.
What volumes do I need for discounted postage?
Bulk postage rates guaranteed cheaper than stamps, franking and Mailmark apply from 500+ items, and transactional mail discounts are available on volumes above 200.
