We need to take preventive action for that situation

1.     Analysis customer financials before approving credit, check their Z Score.

2.     Advance Payment, LC

3.     Payment on Delivery

4.     50% Payment on Advance50 on Delivery.

5.     PDC

6.     Set Credit Limit & Period.

7.     Payment Agreement.

 

If still we fall in such situation, then we need take some remedial action.

1.       Get Balance confirmation (It will help in Legal)

2.       Take PDC

3.       Allow to pay in parts

4.       Stock Taking Back.

 

5.       Finally go for Legal.

As far as your questions concern, we have keep in mind that you would like to loose your customer,

thats why i would suggest with the agreement with your customer start doing business on Letter of Credit this will also helpull for your cusotmer, Customer should have the LC lines with the banks
