[Book a Scoping Call](https://ainora.lt/contact?from=getainora) Call Emma Live Live demo line +1 (332) 241-0221 Emma, debt recovery specialist. Available 24/7. Push back, negotiate, raise an objection. - **Elastic**: Concurrent capacity - **Multilingual**: For cross-border books - **Scoped**: Priced individually after a call - **24/7**: No shifts, no breaks ## Collections teams cannot reach every account. A collector's day is capped by seat-hours: dialling, waiting, wrap-up, breaks and supervisor sessions. Most outbound collection dials never reach the right person, so a large share of those hours produces no conversation at all. Then add the variability problem. Results differ between your strongest and weakest collectors on the same accounts. Your portfolio gets the average, and the weakest calls are the ones that turn into complaints, data breaches and FOS cases. ### AI takes the volume. Your specialists take the judgement calls. AInora calls the routine accounts your team cannot get to, inside your calling windows, and runs your best script the same way on every call, every shift, every season. Pricing is set individually after a call, scoped to your portfolio and jurisdiction mix. Your specialists spend their time on the cases where human judgement matters: vulnerability, complex negotiations, legal disputes and hardship arrangements. Each one reaches them with a briefing and the full call history. ## Purpose-built for regulated portfolios Every collections vertical has its own tone register, regulator, and escalation logic. The platform adapts to the portfolio. ### BNPL and Fintech Buy-now-pay-later defaults, instalment recovery, micro-loan arrears. High-volume, small-balance books where a seat-based team cannot reach every account. ### Auto Finance PCP arrears, HP defaults, lease balloon recovery. The AI handles routine reminders and frees specialists for repossession-track cases. ### Healthcare Debt Private healthcare invoices, dental finance, elective procedure plans. Sensitive, regulated, high-vulnerability conversations where tone matters. ### Utilities and Telecoms Energy arrears, broadband and mobile bill recovery, prepayment reconciliation. Heavy regulator scrutiny on vulnerable customer treatment. ### Mortgage Arrears Pre-possession outreach, payment plan negotiation, MCOB-aligned conversations. Highest-stakes vulnerability detection in collections. ### Banking and Cards Credit card arrears, overdraft recovery, personal loan defaults. High volumes, FCA-regulated, vulnerability-heavy population. ### Council Tax and Public Local authority recovery, court costs, HMRC partnerships. Public-sector accountability with the same scale problem as commercial portfolios. ### Commercial Recovery B2B trade debt, late invoice chasing, judgement enforcement. Different tone register, same need for scale and consistent record-keeping. ## Real-time tone adaptation on every conversation. Calm during anger. Empathetic during hardship. Firm with serial avoiders. Same script, different register, every single time. Empathetic Situation Debtor explains their child is in hospital and they cannot pay this month. AI response The AI detects emotional distress, slows its pace, expresses genuine acknowledgement, and proactively offers a 30-day hardship pause or deferral. It logs a vulnerability marker for compliance and routes any further contact to a specialist track. De-escalating Situation Debtor is shouting, swearing, threatening to complain to the FCA. AI response The AI stays calm, acknowledges the frustration without arguing, offers to pause the call or transfer to a human complaint handler, and captures the complaint per FCA Consumer Duty rules. It does not match the energy. It does not get tired. Professional Situation Debtor insists they already paid or disputes the balance entirely. AI response The AI cross-checks the claim against the live ledger in real time. If confirmed, it apologises and closes. If unverified, it explains the dispute process, marks the account on hold per CSA guidance, and books a callback with documentary evidence requirements. Collaborative Situation Debtor is willing to pay but needs a flexible plan over six months. AI response The AI calculates instalment options from your collections policy, proposes specific dates and amounts, agrees the schedule verbally, captures a recorded consent, and writes the plan back to your collections platform. Your team only sees it if the plan falls outside your policy. ## Want to hear it before you read more? Emma, our debt recovery specialist, picks up 24/7. She is an AI voice agent. Try to break her. +1 (332) 241-0221 [Book Scoping Call](https://ainora.lt/contact?from=getainora) ## A purpose-built collections platform Not a chatbot with a phone number. A voice AI system designed for the specific demands of regulated debt recovery. ### Outbound recovery campaigns Launch enterprise-scale concurrent collection calling without spinning up a call centre. The AI follows your scripts, adapts to each debtor, captures promises-to-pay, and writes every outcome to your collections platform in real time. ### Inbound debtor support When debtors call back, the AI answers on the first ring. No IVR menus, no hold music. It identifies the caller, confirms the balance, walks them through arrears options, and books or revises a payment plan inside a single conversation. ### Vulnerability detection Real-time signals identify financial difficulty, mental health indicators, bereavement and other Consumer Duty vulnerability flags. The call is routed, paused or escalated according to your vulnerability policy, documented end to end. ### Case history for your team Every call outcome, promise kept or broken and dispute raised is logged against the account, so your team can see which cases need a person and which meet your rules for legal review. Your collections policy and your legal team decide when to file. ### Multilingual coverage Voice agents in English, Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian, German, Spanish, Italian, French and other languages, so debtors hear their own language while your team handles the cases that need a person. Useful for cross-border portfolios and migrant-heavy UK debt books. ### Compliance engine Built to support FCA Consumer Duty, CONC, the CSA Code of Practice, GDPR and EU AI Act obligations on every call. Recording disclosure, consent capture, calling-window enforcement, complaint handling and full audit logs. Every call is reviewable, not a small manual sample. ## How AInora handles the collections lifecycle. From day-one arrears to litigation hand-off. Every stage with the right register, the right disclosures and the right outcome captured. Stage 1 ### Pre-litigation reminders Soft early-arrears outreach within days of a missed payment. The AI references the original credit agreement, confirms the debtor on the line, and offers to set a payment date. First-time arrears get a friendlier register than repeat offenders. Stage 2 ### Right-party verification GDPR-compliant identity confirmation before disclosing any debt. Date-of-birth or last-four-digits validation, consent capture, recording disclosure, all logged with full audit trail. Wrong number, third party or vulnerable customer signals route the call appropriately. Stage 3 ### Affordability and payment plan The AI walks the debtor through an income and expenditure conversation, calculates a Consumer Duty-aligned affordable instalment, agrees the date and amount verbally, and sends a payment link or confirmation by SMS or email inside the same call. Stage 4 ### Pre-litigation triage and escalation Calls that need human judgement, vulnerability disclosure, dispute, complaint, refusal to engage after multiple attempts, are routed to a specialist with a full briefing. Accounts that meet the escalation rules you set are flagged for your legal team with the full call history. ## AI voice agent vs traditional dialler floor. Side by side on the metrics CFOs and Heads of Collections actually report on. | Metric | Human-only floor | AI voice agent | | --- | --- | --- | | Calls per day | Limited by seats and shift hours | Elastic concurrent capacity | | Operating hours | Mon to Fri business hours | 24/7/365 within FCA windows | | Tone consistency | Varies by collector and shift | Top performer on every call | | Languages | Depends on who is on shift | Multilingual, calibrated per language | | Compliance QA coverage | Manual sampling | Every call scored | | Vulnerability detection | Depends on collector training | Real-time signals on every call | | Scaling for portfolio spikes | Hire, train, manage for months | Add capacity in hours | | Case history for legal review | Collector notes | Full call record and outcomes per account | [See full ROI breakdown](https://getainora.com/debt-collection/cost-roi) ## The capacity model AInora takes the call volume your team cannot get to. Your people take the conversations that need them, each handed over with a briefing. | Work | Team only | AInora | | --- | --- | --- | | Routine reminders and confirmations | Rationed by seat-hours | Called within your calling windows | | Month-end and deadline spikes | Backlog or overtime | Capacity added in hours | | Vulnerable customers | Depends on who picks up | Flagged and routed to your specialists | | Compliance QA coverage | Manual sampling | Every call scored | | Pricing | Seats and shifts | Priced individually after a call | ### Three tracks in every collections book Routine accounts, complex cases and a court track. AI runs the routine track end to end and hands the other two to your people with a full briefing. Routine ### Reminders and confirmations Handled end to end by AI: identity verification, payment confirmation and logging to your collections platform. Complex ### Cases that need judgement Routed to your specialists with a full briefing: vulnerability, negotiation, disputes. Court ### Court track Accounts that meet your escalation rules, handed to your legal team with the full call history. ## Compliance is the architecture, not an add-on.

Yes. The platform is built around FCA Consumer Duty obligations. Every call enforces calling-window restrictions, identification disclosure, recording notice and vulnerability detection. Complaints are captured and routed to your complaints process, with an audit trail on every call. It is designed for regulated firms in BNPL, banking, mortgage arrears and utilities. ### How does AInora handle GDPR and the EU AI Act for European portfolios? Each call records lawful basis, captures explicit consent for the conversation and for any payment authorisation, enforces retention windows on transcripts and recordings, and tells the person at the start of the call that they are speaking with an AI, as Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires. Data is stored on servers in Germany and Finland. In the standard setup, calls are processed in the EU and the US under GDPR (EU-US Data Privacy Framework, standard contractual clauses). A full-EU setup, with all processing in the EU, is available on request. The subprocessor list is in the DPA. ### How many concurrent calls can a single deployment handle? Concurrent capacity is elastic: it stretches to your peak volume, so month-end pushes and regulator deadlines do not turn into a backlog for your team. Unlike a call centre that caps at the number of seats on the floor, AI capacity scales with the portfolio. The setup for your volumes is sized on the scoping call. ### What does pricing look like for an enterprise collections operator? Priced individually after a call. The scope depends on portfolio volume, jurisdiction mix and integration complexity, and it is set after a 30-minute scoping call once we understand the portfolio. ### How does the AI detect a vulnerable customer? The AI listens for explicit disclosures (illness, bereavement, redundancy, mental health), implicit signals (distress, confusion, agitation, hesitation patterns) and contextual flags from the account history. When a vulnerability marker fires, the call follows your vulnerability policy, pause, transfer, breathing space, or specialist callback. Every flag is logged. ### Can the AI negotiate payment plans within our authorisation matrix? Yes. The AI works to a configurable matrix, acceptable instalment ranges, settlement discounts, breathing-space rules, hardship thresholds. Anything outside the matrix is escalated. Anything inside is agreed verbally on the call, captured with a recorded consent, and written back to your collections platform. ### What happens when a debtor refuses to engage or becomes abusive? The AI does not match the energy. It de-escalates calmly, offers to transfer to a human handler, captures any complaint, ends the call professionally if abuse continues, and applies your call-cadence rules so the account is not contacted again outside your policy windows. ### How does AInora integrate with our collections platform and dialler? The agent connects to your collections system through its API or file exports (for example SFTP). Outbound campaigns pull from your work queues, and outcomes, promises-to-pay and notes are written back. The integration with your specific system is scoped on the first call. ### Which languages are production-ready for European portfolios? English (UK and US), Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Latvian, German, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese are available for European portfolios, along with other languages. We run a calibration pilot before any new language goes live in regulated collections. ### How do we trial AInora before committing to a deployment? Two routes. First, call +1 (332) 241-0221 right now and speak to Emma, our debt recovery specialist. It is a live, unguarded demo. Second, book a scoping call and we will run a controlled pilot on a slice of your live work-queue inside two to four weeks, with full reporting. ### Does the AI meet EU AI Act transparency requirements? Yes. Article 50 of the EU AI Act, which applies from 2 August 2026, requires that people are told they are interacting with an AI system unless that is obvious. The agent says it is an automated voice agent at the start of the call. Consent capture, recording notice and complaint routing are handled the same way a human collector would, with the audit trail to prove it. ### Can AInora replace our entire collections floor? No, and it is not designed to. AI takes the routine reminders, payment plans and verifications your team cannot get to. Complex cases go to your specialists with a briefing, and court-track cases go to legal. Your collectors spend their time on the conversations that need a person. ## Two ways to start. Hear it now on the demo line. Or book a 30-minute scoping call and we will run a controlled pilot on a slice of your live work-queue.
