DEBT PURCHASE - purchasing debt portfolio

1st Locate  are one of the largest people locators or trace collect agencies in the U.K.   We are actively looking to purchase consumer or commercial debt portfolios across Europe (particularly UK, France and Germany).

Unlike many other Debt Purchase companies, we especially want to purchase written off 'goneaway', trace or skip accounts with supporting account/debt information. Our expertise in this sector enables us to purchase accounts that other organisations decline. One of the largest costs to any lender are losses associated with accounts that have 'disappeared'. Our expertise in tracing ing goneaway is second to none and we are often able to trace the debtor and restore relations with the customer resulting in the resumption of repayments.

Many organisations across Europe have written off considerable sums because of goneaway accounts. Our Debt Purchase service enables you to achieve a one off or staged tiered payment for these accounts. We are able to fund substantial purchases and have no limitations on deal size.

All of our tracing and collection activities are undertaken in full compliance with the relevant legislation and we are full members of the Credit Services Association. We are currently looking to acquire UK or European based lending portfolio that primarily consist of regulated consumer credit agreement 'goneaway' or trace & collect debt. Should you be looking to dispose of this type of debt, please telephone Corporate account services on 0113 297 7500 for further information.

TRACE & COLLECT. - A significant portion of our client's bad debt provisions are usually made up from debtors where contact has been lost. Many of our competitors are loathe to take on this type of work because of the level of expertise and investment required to trace individuals.

Our business has developed from a trace only agent to one of the leading Trace & Collect agencies in the UK. Our average investment in each case placed with us approaches £20 before we have even made any collection. Experience has shown us that unless a Debt Collection Agent commits resource and is prepared for initial expense, recovery rates suffer. As a result of this, many agents concentrate on prime, where the initial investment prior to recoveries is small.
