DCM Services for Utilities

Millions in Receivables Are Going Uncollected—We Can Help You Recover Them

Every year, utility providers lose millions in unpaid account balances following the passing of account holders. These balances often fall outside traditional collections processes, especially when involving legal or estate matters, resulting in a significant missed opportunity.

DCM Services partners with utility companies to manage probate and non-probate account resolution, helping you recover funds that may otherwise be written off.

Why This Matters to Utility Providers

Account closures are more frequent than you think: Life transitions often leave behind unpaid balances, especially when estates are involved.

Standard collections aren’t enough: Internal processes typically pause when an account holder is no longer managing the account. Without probate expertise, these balances go unrecovered.
Non-probate assets are often missed: Even when no formal estate is opened, there may still be lawful opportunities to resolve outstanding balances.

Timely identification of dates of death (DOD) and probated estates.

A transparent and streamlined end-to-end estate process.

Inventory management by a dynamic team of estate resolution specialists.
