What is a “Debt Buyer”?
In today’s economic landscape, numerous creditors, ranging from credit card companies to medical providers, utilities, phone companies, banks, and lenders, routinely transfer old debts they’ve struggled to collect to debt buyers. These creditors bundle these aged debts into portfolios, which they then sell to debt buyers at a fraction of their original value, often for mere pennies on the dollar. It’s not uncommon for debt buyers to acquire these debts for less than five cents on each dollar owed.
When purchasing these portfolios from creditors, debt buyers typically obtain an electronic file, referred to as a “datastream,” containing information about the debts within the portfolio. However, they generally do not acquire copies of individual contracts or account statements to verify the validity of the debts listed in the portfolio.
Once in possession of the old debt portfolio, the debt buyer may take aggressive measures to collect payment from the individuals associated with the debts or sell the portfolio to another debt buyer. In their collection efforts, debt buyers often employ broad tactics to locate individuals with outstanding debts.
Reports have emerged of citizens being targeted by debt purchasers for debts that do not belong to them. Instances include individuals being pursued for repayment of credit card bills from cards they never owned. Others recount being pursued for debts that were previously settled, victims of identity theft, or debts that were discharged through bankruptcy or have exceeded the statute of limitations for legal action.
