Collections

VP Compliance Services’ Compliance Certified Vender program is an extensive review and audit of a Call Center’s policies, procedures, training, background and more. A Compliance Certified Collections Call Center is a Collector a lender can trust when looking to consummate a new vendor relationship.

VPCS will display all Certified Collections Call Center’s audit and review results. Interested parties may reach the Collections Call Center’s certification page by clicking the VPCS Certified Vendor logo on the vendor’s website.

VPCS’ Vendor Certification program is not recommended to replace a lender’s own vendor review program. It may be used to help select a new Collections Call Center lender will select for consideration.

For more information on VPCS’ Vendor Certification program please contact William “Rick” Wittwer at wrw@vpcs.biz.
