Using Social Media in Debt Recovery – Where Is the Line?

1. Why social media matters in debt collection

Debtors often ignore emails, but care deeply about:

• Their professional image on LinkedIn
• How customers, partners, and colleagues see them online
• Appearing trustworthy and reliable

That’s why social accountability is such a powerful layer in modern debt recovery.

2. What we do — and what we don’t do

At DebtBlacklist.com, we do not encourage harassment or mob pressure. Instead, we:

• Use factual, carefully worded notices
• Focus on business impact, not personal attacks
• Stay within each platform’s terms of use

3. Typical social steps in a case

1. Internal review and formal demand letters
2. Potential listing on our website
3. Polite, factual outreach or public notices where legally appropriate

The goal is not to shame for entertainment — it is to make non-payment more expensive than paying.

4. Why you shouldn’t do this alone

A frustrated creditor posting angrily on LinkedIn can:

• Violate platform rules
• Accidentally defame someone
• Make their own business look unprofessional

A neutral third party managing the process is far safer and usually more effective.

5. Combining social pressure with No Cure, No Pay

Our No Cure, No Pay model means we only get paid when your debtor does. That’s why we design each social touchpoint to increase the probability of a real settlement — not just “venting” online.
