Jared King
@jaredking
Bilingual collections specialist with fraud investigation and customer service expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) collections and customer service professional with experience in debt recovery, fraud intake, and bank dispute resolution. I consistently delivered strong collection results and supported cross-functional teams with expert-level assistance.
My background includes roles at major collection and banking organizations where I negotiated payment plans, investigated payment discrepancies, and handled fraud intake for Capital One 360. I regularly updated and maintained case records in multiple database systems.
I bring frontline experience in compassionate de-escalation, locating and contacting debtors, and creating fraud cases ready for investigation. I have a track record of being among the top performers in dollars recovered per hour and supporting customer security efforts.
I also have seasonal wildland firefighting experience with Interagency Hotshot Crews and hold Red Card and chainsaw operator certifications, demonstrating my ability to perform in high-pressure, team-focused environments.
