A lot of people screen their calls. My collection guy takes partial payments. Almost no amount is too small. He has people who owe $1500 paying as little as $50 a month. Something is better than nothing. At that rate it will take 30 months to pay, but if he has 100 people paying that, that's $5000 extra a month in sales.
