Debt collection between the past and the present

Debt collection is the process of collecting money owed by individuals or institutions that have not paid their debts on time. Statistics show that there have been many problems related to debt collection in the Kingdom, but these problems have varied between the past and the present.
In the past, there were significant problems with debt collection in the Kingdom, mainly due to the absence of a strong legal law for debt collection, which relied mostly on trust and personal relationships between parties. Because of this law, there were significant problems in debt collection, and the government faced difficulties in collecting the debts owed, which had a negative impact on the economy as a whole.
With the development of the economic and legal situation in the Kingdom, significant changes have been made to the debt collection law. A strong legal law has been established to allow for easy debt collection, and legal procedures related to collection have been strengthened. In addition, many electronic services have been developed to aid in debt collection quickly and efficiently.
Currently, there are many companies and institutions working in the field of debt collection in the Kingdom, and these companies use a variety of methods and technologies to collect debts. These methods include using text messages, email, and phone calls to communicate with debtors, as well as using lawyers to collect debts through appropriate legal methods. These companies allow individuals and businesses to collect their debts quickly and efficiently, without the need to spend a lot of time and effort on the collection process.
Experts point out that there are some challenges facing the debt collection process in the Kingdom, including the complexity of legal procedures, which require more time and effort to be carried out correctly. Additionally, attention must be paid to the reputation and ethical behavior of companies operating in the debt collection field, to avoid any illegal or unethical practices. It is worth noting that the government has made important amendments, upon the decision of the Minister of Justice, by referring financial claims that do not exceed fifty thousand riyals to the Reconciliation Center.
It should be noted that referring financial claims that do not exceed fifty thousand riyals to the Reconciliation Center will help ease the burden on the judiciary and expedite the resolution of simple financial cases more efficiently. Additionally, arbitration provides a less costly environment than traditional litigation and allows parties to choose arbitrators who will resolve the dispute, leading to increased trust between parties and increased opportunities for friendly and satisfactory settlements for all.
Moreover, arbitration provides more privacy than the judiciary, as arbitration sessions are conducted privately and away from public view, which helps to preserve honesty and confidentiality in parties’ transactions. Finally, arbitration helps to expedite cases more efficiently, relying on simplified and concise procedures, allowing parties to avoid the costs of litigation and lengthy and complex legal procedures.
In conclusion, debt collection in the Kingdom has witnessed significant improvements over the years, becoming more effective and easier. With the development of the legal system and the technologies used, and the latest decisions, the Kingdom is moving towards the latest and most appropriate methods of debt collection, leading to the achievement of Vision 2030 and the protection of the Kingdom’s economy.
