Public Sector & Utilities Collections

Respectful. Diplomatic. Results-Oriented.

Why Public Sector & Utility Organizations Choose Kinum

Public sector agencies and utility providers rely on steady, predictable revenue to keep essential services running. When customers fall behind on payments, it doesn’t just show up on a report; it impacts budgets, planned projects, and day-to-day operations.

Kinum’s public sector and utility collection services are built to improve recovery rates, reduce the workload on your internal teams, and support the long-term stability of the services your community depends on. Our process is structured, compliant, and designed to get real results, not just send reminders.

Common Challenges for Public Sector & Utility Providers

Connect Phase – Flat-Fee Courtesy Outreach

Administrative teams spend hours managing overdue accounts instead of core service tasks.

Backlogged receivables affect annual budgets & delay critical projects.

Inconsistent outreach leads to low recovery rates & operational strain.

Kinum provides a streamlined, compliant, and highly effective collections process that helps public-sector organizations recover revenue quickly and consistently.

Ann Meredith was very kind, understanding, and professional. She has been the very best debt collector who was able to come up with a solution for me in my difficult time. Thank you

Mitchell Reinert

Bit of a different review I’m sure but kinum called me to collect a debt a while back and I’m happy to say it’s finally paid off!
Jeremy helped me out with a payment plan that worked for me and was able to stick to it till the end despite some challenges he remained professional and was able to achieve a great outcome.

Kinum has been such a time saver for us. They are friendly and efficient. Craig Fry has been excellent- he is always a friendly and happy to answer any and all questions you may have. We highly recommend this company for all your collection needs

Jenae Dunbar

The collector was very nice and sweet. She was understanding to my situation and we were able to come to an agreement when it comes to paying off my debt. She made sure to call me back after I left a message and I felt good about catching up on my payments by the end of the call.

Brandi Weaver

The collector I spoke with today was extremely professional and helpful in resolving a debt that I knew nothing about. She very clearly explained what the debt was from, explained the balance due, and even informed me of her ability to have the bad debt removed from my credit. All and all, she was extremely pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend that she be used for other collections!

Amy Lines

The collector I talked to was awesome! It is horrible to have to go through not being able to pay your bills especially after a divorce and the bill wasn’t even my responsibility it was my ex-husbands but it was in my name. The gal I worked with was sympathetic to my situation amd was very sweet. These people are just doing their job so next time you get a call from a debt collector don’t be afraid!! They are really nice people at this place!!

Kathy Schweiger

Kinum has been great to work with! They’ve collected more for us than any company in the past. Their staged collection process works very well with no patient complaints. They are great communicators both with us and our patients and I highly recommend them.

Great experience! We have two dental offices who use Kinum and it has been a great experience! Especially working with Craig, he has always checked in to make sure things are going smoothly with the process. The website is also user friendly!
