Symend is not collections; we are in the business of helping consumers. Not only are we developing a world-class platform, but I’m proud to say that we are applying the sciences to support our mission of creating positive social change”
Sounds like they are a collections agency which is designed to understand people’s economic and social situations so they can extract maximum payments over a longer period of time then traditional collection agencies
Sounds like a neat use of of all the data we give away.
I noticed a lot more advertising for collection agencies lately.
I remember when I got a new phone number, I had a company calling me all the time for someone I never heard of. They were so rude and the messages they would leave were nasty. I talked to them a few times and told them he didn't have that number any more but it didn't stop them from calling. They even started asking me to pay the man's debt. I was shocked they would expect a stranger to pay someone else's debt just to get them to stop calling. And they would call right at 7 am every morning.

Super cool and aligns with the way many industries are moving in the areas of AI and machine learning for decision making trees. Impressed that they approached debt collection with a different, innovative mindset.
