“We buy everything” is how you drown in NDAs. Purchase criteria names asset class, vintage, balance tier, and states. Then the desk can match a tape instead of guessing.
Because 'we buy everything' floods you with NDAs. Purchase criteria that name asset class, vintage, balance tier, and states let the desk match a tape instead of guessing.
Public catalog: portfolio types. This page is how buyers use it on DebtHub.
| Class | What you underwrite first | Usual tell |
|---|---|---|
| Credit card | Last-pay, COS, prior placements | Percent of face |
| Auto deficiency | VIN, sale proceeds, deficiency math | Paperwork gaps kill price |
| Medical | Itemization without PHI in forms | Ops-heavy, license sensitive |
| Personal / installment | Original product, payment history | Fintech vs bank origin matters |
| Commercial / B2B | Contract, personal guaranty flags | Not a consumer FDCPA file |
| Telecom / BNPL / specialty | Media honestly disclosed | Often bps, not fat percents |
Asset classes you will bid. Min/max face. Vintage floor. States you can board. Collect vs litigate mix. Monthly capacity. That paragraph saves two weeks of mismatched teasers.
Inventory is not a public board. Apply, set a box, we match.
Only if you can actually board it. Testers without licenses do not get files.
You do not. DebtHub is not a consumer auction site.
