These are the notes we repeat on calls. None of them replace counsel or your recovery model.
- Write the buying box before you ask for a tape. “Everything” is not a box.
- Put licenses and insurance in the first email. We will ask anyway.
- Read last-pay against charge-off date, not just average age.
- Count blank media fields. That count is your haircut.
- Bid with a unit. Percent of face or bps. Not “4.”
- Carve states you cannot board. Do not hope the PSA saves you.
- Calendar cut-off, not the day you finished importing CSV.
- File warranty claims with an account list, inside the window, on post-sale support.

What tip saves the most time?
A complete qualification pack on day one.
Is “we’ll license after close” ever fine?
Not for a working tape. Dated plan, then boarding, not the reverse.
