Collections software for utilities, colleges & public agencies

Past-due customers don't answer the phone. They answer a text.

Peak Performance AI works every past-due account by two-way text and AI voice — it answers questions, sends a secure payment link, and sets up payment arrangements inside the rules you set. People handle the exceptions. Every conversation is logged and reported. English and Spanish.

The problem

Phone calls and letters don't reach people anymore

Most collections programs still run on mailed notices and outbound calls. In our consumer-finance work, only about 3 in 100 outbound calls reach the right person. About 4 in 10 of our texts get a reply.

Calls go unanswered

Unknown numbers get screened. Voicemails get deleted. Adding staff to dial more just means more calls nobody picks up.

People pay after hours

Customers deal with bills at night and on weekends — exactly when your office is closed. A text can be answered on a lunch break or at 9pm.

Results are hard to see

Ask most programs how many people were actually reached last month, or how many payment plans held, and the answer is often a guess. Peak reports it every month.

How it works

From a past-due file to a paid account

You send us the accounts. The platform does the outreach. You see every result.

STEP 01

Load the accounts

Start from a simple, secure account file. A direct connection to your billing system can be scoped as a separate project. You choose which accounts, balances and age ranges go in.

STEP 02

AI reaches out

Two-way texts and AI voice calls go out on your schedule, under your organization's name, inside the contact hours and limits you set.

STEP 03

Customers resolve it

The AI answers questions, sends a secure payment link, and sets up payment plans you've approved. Disputes, hardship and “let me talk to a person” go to a live team.

STEP 04

You see everything

Every text, call, promise and payment is logged with the full transcript. Notes and results come back to you on your file schedule, and you get regular performance reports.

Who we serve

Built for any organization with consumer accounts past due

The platform was built inside high-volume consumer finance, where every account is worked every day. The same engine works anywhere people owe a balance.

Municipal utilities

Electric, water, sewer, gas and solid waste — reminders before disconnect and outreach on final-bill accounts after move-out.

Utilities →

Colleges & universities

Student account balances, registration holds, and default-prevention outreach to student loan borrowers before they default.

Higher education →

Cities & counties

Fines, fees, permits, citations, service charges and other receivables owed to a public agency.

Government →

Lenders & finance

Installment loans, auto finance and consumer credit — the portfolios the platform was first built for.

Why Peak

AI does the work. People handle the exceptions. QA watches both.

Software alone isn't a collections program. Peak gives you the platform, the people behind it, and the accountability.

AI that holds a conversation

Not a text blast and not a robocall. The AI reads the reply, answers the question in plain English or Spanish, and only offers what your rules allow. It never pretends to be a person.

A live team behind it

When someone is in hardship, disputes the balance, or asks for a person, the conversation goes to a trained account specialist with the full history attached.

QA on every channel

Our QA team reviews AI texts and calls against a documented methodology. You find out what the AI said in a report — not in a complaint.

Text vs. phone

Same clients. Same 30 days.

This is why we lead with text. Calls still matter — our AI voice agents handle them — but the conversation usually starts in a text.
