DUNNING Meaning and Definition

1. Dunning is a term used to describe a process or tactic of collecting a debt from an individual or business that has failed to make timely payments. It refers to the series of actions that a creditor or collection agency takes to obtain payment on an outstanding debt.

   The dunning process typically involves multiple steps and escalations. Initially, it begins with friendly reminders, typically in the form of letters, emails, or phone calls, notifying the debtor that they have an outstanding balance and requesting payment. As the debt remains unpaid, the subsequent dunning letters or communications may become progressively more assertive or demanding in nature.

   The purpose of dunning is to persuade or pressure the debtor to pay what they owe. This may involve employing various strategies such as offering settlement options, outlining potential consequences of non-payment (e.g., legal action or credit score damage), or providing incentives for prompt payment.

   It's important to note that there are laws and regulations in place that govern dunning practices to protect debtors from harassment or unfair treatment. These laws typically require collectors to be transparent in their communications, not use deceptive tactics, and to respect the debtor's privacy.

   Overall, dunning is an organized approach to debt collection that aims to encourage debtors to repay their overdue debts through a series of progressively assertive communications and actions.

Etymology of DUNNING

The word "Dunning" has its origins in the Middle English term "dunen", which meant "to demand debts or payments". This Middle English term itself evolved from the Old English word "dyne", meaning "a noise or clamor", or "to thunder". Over time, "dunen" developed into "dun", which was used specifically for demanding debts, and eventually gave rise to the verb "to dun". The term "Dunning" is now commonly used as a noun to refer to the process of persistently pursuing or urging someone to pay a debt.
