Debt Purchase Portfolios

The purchase of debt is a risky undertaking, and one that remains fraught with uncertainty, even to experienced debt portfolio buyers.

The fundamental idea behind debt purchase is to capitalise on the failure of a previous lender to recover the sums they are owed. When a lender does not receive the money they are due from various sources, they may sell off this portfolio of bad debt to a debt purchaser at a fraction of the debt value itself. 

This attempt at damage control by the lender will then, in turn, allow the debt purchaser to pursue the debt, with the intention of heavily profiting from the successful collection of these sums. Even a partial collection of the debt (a more realistic outcome than collecting the full amount) can make the shrewd purchase of debt portfolios a lucrative undertaking.

Risk v Reward

Yet the risk inherent in such a venture means that professional legal assistance is a necessity. Whether done to minimise the chances of making an unwise purchase or to ensure your conduct as a debt collector remains in the realms of legality, obtaining legal guidance early is a smart move for debt purchasers to make.
