Models by Type of Debt
• Few people purchase everything.• Some people buy various loans and credit
cards but not healthcare or auto deficiency.
• Some people buy only one type of debt.• Some people focus on one type of debt
but buy other types in smaller amounts.
![Page 10: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Models by Purchase Source

Worked/unworked.• Purchase from a reseller/two off. Worked
unworked.• Front end/Back end at whatever level.• Purchase from wherever.
![Page 11: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diversity Within the Type of Debt
• People may purchase,• Fresh paper.• One agency.• Two agency.• Three agency.• Quads and older.• Out of stat.• Low balance.
• Performing debt.• Bankruptcies.• Accounts with
documentation to support a legal model.
• They may purchase by balance size or state.

![Page 12: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Track your results
• How much are you paying?• What is your expected return?• What length of time is your return?• What are typical returns in the industry?• Do you have intelligence in the industry?• Are you prepared for economic or other
factors that may effect you?
![Page 13: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Do Not Abandon Your Original Model
• If your original model is suffering maybe diversification would not be good.
• Understand the metrics of your portfolios and returns.
• Use best methods and practices to liquidate.
![Page 14: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Have a Plan
• Choose a percentage to commit to diversification. I would suggest no more than 20% to start.
• Decide whether to blend the diverse selection into your current process or develop another process.
• Track the results carefully and do not diversify further until all aspects are understood.
![Page 15: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Plans
• Buying and outsourcing for collections and legal.
• Buying, working or litigating in house, outsourcing.
• Purchase and litigate only.• Warehousing the paper, judgments etc.• Selling the paper after a certain amount of
time.
![Page 16: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Diversify Your Strategy
• Send more to litigation or send less.• Develop a different or more aggressive
judgment recovery.• Add an outsourcing strategy or remove
one.• Shorten you outsourcing cycle. Lengthen
it.• Plan to buy by state, region or national if it
diversifies your model.

Analytics
• Minimum Information needed.• Format.• Developing a review process.• Understanding the data.• Developing a price.• Projecting liquidation.• Death by analysis.
![Page 26: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Format
• Excel 2007 or before.• Comma separated values, CSV.• Microsoft Access.• In a document form.• A pdf or doc breakdown and stratification.• Other software specific spreadsheets.
![Page 27: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Minimum Information Needed

is.• Dates, Open, last pay, charge-off.• Balance due. Is post charge off interest
added?• Name usually is not provided but first
name may be.
![Page 28: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Developing a Review Process
• What is most important to you about the data?
• Balance, states or region, age, type, etc• Sort the spreadsheet looking for the
average and medians of what you want.• Look for anomalies.
![Page 30: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Understand the Data
• Is there something you are seeing that does not make sense. Example: Super high balances and very low balances, dates that don’t make sense usually indicating missing information 11-22-63 for example. Lots of 555 or 666 or 777 in the area codes, missing dates, lots of names that can’t be pronounced or ssn’s that are of a different type then you would expect.
![Page 31: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Understand the Data
• Are dates screwed up or is there a lot of pays after charge off or recent last pays but older chargeoffs?
• Is there any data that just does not add up for you? Like, all po boxes or all major cities or no major cities.
![Page 32: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Understanding the DataHow I Review
• I review the portfolio to see if it meets my requirements for balance range, state or regional distribution, age of the debt and anything else that catches my eye.
• I apply a scoring methodology to the file.• Then I sort it by state and high to low
balance looking for trends versus the data or versus the scoring.
![Page 33: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Understanding the DataHow I Review
• I sort by open date and look at the balance ranges by older to newer and then do the same with last pay date and charge off date.
• All along I am comparing streams of data against the main data I am reviewing.
• I apply my scoring to all of the segments and look for trends. Mainly I am looking for manipulation and factors to determine pricing.
![Page 34: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Developing a Price
• If the review passes my inspection then I apply the attributes of the portfolio to my pricing template.
• My pricing template considers age from charge off at a high and low end. We may consider balance sizes and state attributes.
• We consider the placement level.• Outside of the template we look at our
history
With similar paper. We establish a price range.
![Page 35: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Projecting Liquidation
• Liquidation by month, especially in the first four months are subject to wide swings.
• An exact projection is not possible in most cases.
• A loose projection in the first six months is possible and then a more accurate projection for 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months.
• As liquidation is achieved a sale price for the remainder can be forcast.
![Page 36: Creating a Diverse Purchasing Model](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56812b44550346895d8f5aec/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Death by Analysis
• Sometimes flaws may be found in a portfolio but the pricing makes the purchase worth it.
• It is silly to think that similar paper will always be priced the same.
• Blending purchases together reduces the risk of one portfolio sinking your ship. Although, each portfolio should be tracked seperately.
• If you are a debt buyer, buy debt.
