The IRS announced it is delaying processing individual tax returns until January 30th. The IRS’s software systems are being tested and tax forms are being updated to reflect changes mandated by the so-called fiscal cliff bill. This is over a week later than usual. With individual tax return processing delayed, tax refunds will be issued later too—February 8th at the earliest. The delay in tax refund payments could easily extend the “most wonderful time of the year” for online lenders and call centers. Typically by the third week of January, new loan volume abruptly slows as the holiday shopping season ends and consumers climb over the financial spending hump in the first couple weeks of the year. Some times loan customers rely on tax refunds to pay off any online loans they took out during the holiday season or first of the year.

Call centers experience their heaviest volume of the year between Thanksgiving and the second week of January. Payday loans are flying out the door as consumers turn to lenders for their holiday shopping cash. Once the presents are open, consumers apply for payday cash advances again to get them through the first couple weeks of the year. Lenders’ loan caps are in place throughout the year, however, it can be a rare occasion to reach them. It’s a different story during the holiday rush when lenders can hit these caps by 2:00 pm every day.

But that will change on January 1, 2013 when a new law, patterned after similar laws in Washington and Illinois, takes effect. Payday lenders are anticipating changes in their systems and reporting as more states could follow in Delaware’s footsteps.

Call centers generate massive amounts of data—data that is too often funneled into programs and reports that rarely see the light of day. Which is unfortunate to say the least. Never before has the need to not only store that data, but also actually make productivity and profit changing been greater. A call center’s data is where the heart of the operation thrives… or flounders.
