In my country we apply different methods, the main one is not to give anything on credit, but if you still do, you must ask for a guarantee that is proportional to the cost of the product. In other cases a document guaranteed by the bank is signed, in the absence of payment the bank cancels the debt, deducting it from the client's account.

Avoid bad debt by avoiding debt as much as possible; that's what I believe in.

The best thing is to avoid such debts as far as possible. You dont take loans bigger than what you can handle or what you can afford to payback. Let greed go. Run with your capital if your profits or returns are still marginal
