When a loan becomes past due it enters the delinquency stage of the lending cycle. A loan that remains delinquent for an extended period of time will enter default which makes it difficult to resume a loan agreement and continue repayment. The key to improving performance during the delinquency stage is early intervention strategies that prevent a loan from entering default.
Immediately initiate borrower outreach through multiple channels.
A loan servicer should initiate borrower outreach immediately after a missed payment in order to help prevent default. Communication should occur through multiple channels and it should provide the borrower with a comprehensive set of repayment options that allow them to successfully fulfill their obligations.
Monitor overall portfolio performance.
It is important to continuously monitor overall portfolio performance in order to prevent a rise in delinquencies or defaults. Analyzing loan data across different portfolio metrics will help identify and address areas of improvement, either at the operational or loan program level.
