Governing Accounts Receivable Write-Offs
Organizations can use this policy to handle issues arising when a customer seeks protection from the United States bankruptcy court and/or writing off bad debts.
Upon receipt of a bankruptcy notice, the credit department will withdraw any credit line available to the debtor and ensure that future orders entered against the affected account numbers are blocked from shipment; prepare a statement of the account as of the date of the bankruptcy filing; and send a reclamation demand to the debtor requiring that all of our products delivered within the reclamation period be identified, segregated and promptly returned to the company.
