This may mean that a borrower has missed a payment by accident, or that they are no longer able to afford loan payments. The collection officer contacts the borrowers and tries to ascertain what has happened. If possible, the collection officer changes the loan, using of the options that the lender provides to manage debt. If this does not work, the collection officer begins the foreclosure process.
