The Financial Management Service, Debt Management Services (DMS) will host a debt collection workshop for Federal agency employees on October 7, 2008. There is no charge for this workshop.
The Debt Collection 101 (DC 101) Workshop is presented to target individuals who are fairly new to debt collection, but it will also serve as a valuable refresher for more experienced personnel. It is based on Chapter 6 of FMS's Managing Federal Receivables, "Delinquent Debt Collection." It will provide a step-by-step overview of the techniques and tools available to collect nontax debts owed to the federal government, including information on how to develop a debt collection strategy for specific classes of debts. Among the topics covered will be Treasury’s Cross-Servicing and Offset Programs.
