Day-to-day operating brief

What Credit Controller work looks like in practice

A Credit Controller manages overdue commercial or customer balances while protecting accurate ledgers and relationships. Terms should identify portfolios, contact methods, statements, cash allocation, disputes, payment plans, credit limits, vulnerability, complaints, legal referrals, write-offs, data access, targets and authority to agree terms or suspend service. Contact frequency and channel should reflect previous engagement, dispute status and known customer circumstances rather than applying the same escalation to every balance. A promise to pay needs an amount, date and follow-up action. When money arrives without a usable reference, allocation should wait for evidence instead of clearing the oldest debt automatically. Aged-debt reporting should separate genuinely overdue sums from unapplied cash, credits, disputed invoices and accounts paused by formal process. Escalation to legal action requires a complete statement, contract evidence, contact chronology and approval rather than relying on the ageing category alone. Refund requests and credit notes need independent evidence so a collection account cannot become an unauthorised payment route. Insolvency notifications should be verified and passed promptly to the designated legal or finance owner.

Monitor aged debt and customer accounts.
Contact customers through approved channels.
Allocate cash and resolve account differences.
