A claim should be placed when meaningful changes in the debtor's normal course of business are observed. They might include:

• Returned check activity
• Employee turnover or consultants being retained
• Debtor avoiding contact
• Recorded message repeatedly answering calls
• Lack of concern expressed about the past due account
• Hearing statements about needing a loan or having money problems
• Intelligence from the trade supporting financial problems exist
• If you wait for the debtor to close or file bankruptcy – it is too late.
