Real-Life Communication
You are a bailiff for a repossession agency. The case that you working
on requires you to find Kenny Hong, who is notorious for late payments.
The
dealership has hired you to find Hong because he is late on lease payments
for his new Max Power signature series truck. The dealership wants you to
repossess his vehicle.
You go to Hong's home to inform him of your
intentions, but he isn't there. You check the front door and back door, but
nobody seems to be home. You can see that mail and newspapers are gathering
in front of his door. The house seems to be deserted.
You decide to
slip a note under Hong's door informing him that you are a bailiff and that
you have to repossess his truck due to his late payments.
According
to Jim Voice, president of a credit service, "My bailiffs need to communicate
with the debtors [people who owe the money] to convince them to pay or surrender
their goods."
In the letter, you must be firm but non-threatening.
You must inform him that you are from a legitimate repossession agency and
that you are here to seize his vehicle due to non-payment of the balance that
he owes for the vehicle.
You should also inform him that if he has
any concerns, complaints, or questions, he should take it up with the dealership
where he leased his truck.
