Insuranceopedia Explains Collection Book
Collection books are invaluable tools for debit agents and the insurance companies they serve. Without a collection book, it would be challenging to keep track of all the necessary insurance information. Poor monitoring and record-keeping can lead to significant issues for the insurance company. For instance, the company may struggle to determine which policyholders have paid their premiums and which have not, potentially resulting in lapses in coverage or missed payments.
