Data has a lag time of 1 month.The third-party collections contractor has a contractual target to provide debtors with contact resolution at the point of first contact. Contact Resolution is defined as the reasonable attempt to resolve 'an immediate' account issue through education and/or some action. The primary goal is to increase the overall percentage of first contact resolution for sampled calls. In an effort to increase customer service throughout the Collection Services Bureau, it is important that the third-party collections contactor is able to provide helpful and accurate information to taxpayers. A higher percentage rate means that more taxpayers were able to be assisted correctly during their first contact with our third-party contractors.
