Fairness in Operation
3 Principles + 3 Practices = 1 Outcome
Debt Fairly Collected
CDER Group developed the Fairness Framework to embed fairness into all of our engagements with clients, customers (debtors), stakeholders and our people and to set a new standard for responsible and high quality collections and enforcement.
Our aim has been to go further than mere words and demonstrate how we are applying a uniquely structured and rigorously measured operating framework across all operations, cascading down into the daily activities we are undertaking for our clients and customers.
Our Systems
Supporting intelligence-led decisions and actions to provide a better outcome.
Our Edge system’s unique “single customer view” architecture, combined with advanced analysis and reporting tools, allows us to tailor our collection approach for each individual, with faster engagement, higher response rates and fairer resolutions.
