PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem is that the data utilised by the telecommunications companies obtained from the credit bureaus as part of credit decision making, may not be of the standard of quality expected by the credit team in support of sustainable credit performance for the organisation.

If the problem is not addressed, the impact thereof is twofold. Firstly, it could result in potential loss of income for the company that could be detrimental to both its bad debt ratios and its credit reputation. Secondly, theimpact on the individual consumer is also of concern, as the consumer could find him/her in a debt cycle that will take years to overcome; and the result is further degradation of consumer well-being and ultimately the state of theeconomy.
