Data cleansing - correcting
customer name and address records
We regularly assist our clients to maintain accurate postal and name records for their customers. We are able to correct en mass, customer records that either contain mis-spellings, poor or incorrect address or name data.
Although we do act as a first placement data cleansing agency, we
also specialise in correcting address data that other cleansing companies have failed
to correct. For severely corrupted name & address data, this
can involve manually rebuilding addresses and on occasion, customer contact to
ensure the accuracy of such data. Many organisations offer automated cleansing
of address data which will achieve 80-90% accuracy or clean up. What about the
remaining 10-20%? Often, the only way to successfully resolve these cases is to
individually rebuild each address. Maintaining accurate data on your customers
is prerequisite in today's legislative framework. We understand the importance
of this and encourage our clients to maintain all customer address records in an
accurate manner.
Poorly addressed records inevitably results in letters remaining undelivered, producing unnecessary postal and production costs. 1st Locate data cleansing will solve this problem and enable to you claim additional postal discounts from schemes such as the Royal Mail Mailsort facility.
We are even happy to appraise a trial batch of data free of charge, providing you with a comprehensive report outlining the quality and accuracy of your customer address data.

TRACE &
COLLECT.
- A significant portion of our client's bad debt provisions are usually made up from debtors where contact has been lost. Many of our competitors are loathe to take on this type of work because of the level of expertise and investment required to trace individuals.
Our business has developed from a trace only agent to one of the leading Trace & Collect agencies in the UK. Our average investment in each case placed with us approaches £20 before we have even made any collection. Experience has shown us that unless a Debt Collection Agent commits resource and is prepared for initial expense, recovery rates suffer. As a result of this, many agents concentrate on prime, where the initial investment prior to recoveries is small.
UTILITY DEBT
COLLECTION. Our experience in the Utility sector has developed around tracing and
collecting debts but also the identification and resolution of periods of supply
and responsibility for consumption. We currently service six of the largest
Utility companies in the UK. Our debt negotiators are skilled in all types of
Gas, Electricity and Water payment tariffs, metering options &
measured/unmeasured consumption issues. We invest much time in staff training
for this sector and the regulatory issues and restrictions in force.

are currently the top performing debt collection agency for a number of our
Utility clients - let us show you how with a free
