Do businesses "sell" accounts to collection agencies?

How does that work? When businesses pass off their delinquent acc'ts to collection agencies, are they technically "selling" that account to the collection agency? Do collection agencies "buy" accounts from businesses? Do they pay a fee to businesses to open legally open acc'ts and collect debts?|||Yes, they definately sell accounts. They get less money from the buyer but at least they get some money. The collection agency still goes after your money and they make a profit because they can harrass you until you pay and they have peole well know to twist arms over the phone. Caller ID works great.|||This is an important issue. Three points must be considered, especially if you are intelligent, or have interest


in improving your life.


1. It is illegal for many denominations of Christians to go


through collection property assessment(debts of states)


2. It is expensive when you have top legal advise for them


(collectors)to defame someone


3. Your future buying power does consist of reports designed


by expert people to aid you in improving eventually





The rule of property, holdings, conservation is to stay ahead


of the legal mix ups. Many crews that are around will use


small budget pressure to rule over your own opportunities.


The best point is to maintain a strong team position with a


good reputation for your viewpoints, and participate.

Let's say that Discover wants to sell Suzy Q. Consumer's deadbeat account. She owes them $2,000. Collection Agency 1 offers to buy Suzy's debt from Discover. At this point, Discover is not really concerned with making a bunch of money, they just want the loss off their books. After negotiating, the two companies agree that the debt will be sold for .20 on the dollar. CA1 buys the $2,000 debt for $400.


Now the fun begins! All the agents know the amount of the original debt, the amount CA1 paid for it and Suzy's information. Their goal, ultimately, is to make a profit for the company. They will try their hardest to get her to pay way more than the $400.


I always tell my clients - don't take bill collectors personally. It's just business!
