The wrong buyer turns a clean sale into complaints, residual calls in your name, and a messy recall. Screen before the tape moves. Triton already does this for the network; this page is the checklist if you are comparing desks.

Non-negotiables

  • An operating company with a reputation creditors will accept. RMAI or ACA membership is a plus, not required.
  • E&O and cyber insurance with limits that match the file size.
  • A named compliance owner and a written FDCPA / Reg F program.
  • Ability to fund on the PSA calendar.
  • NDA and a data-handling exhibit: where the file lives, who sees it, when it is destroyed if they lose the bid.

What Triton screens

The public buyer network is described as 200+ qualified buyers. Qualification is not a directory listing. Criteria, insurance, and capacity are reviewed before a match. See the creditors’ buyer guide and the buyer-facing qualification page.

Highest bid is not the same as best buyer. A shop that cannot fund or board will stall the close and leave residual noise.

Screen Pass Fail
Operating entity Formed company with a track record sellers will accept Shelf company or no public track record
Insurance Current E&O and cyber certs Expired or personal lines
Data handling Named system, retention, destruction Gmail forwards of the tape
Capital Can fund in the PSA window Needs a partner “next week”

Questions this page answers

Can we require extra conditions beyond Triton’s screen?

Yes. Put them in the PSA: states, media, insurance minimums, no litigating in your name.

Do you share the buyer’s consumer complaint history?

We screen operators. We are not a CFPB complaint warehouse. Ask counsel what you need in the PSA.

Should we pick the highest percent of face?

Not if the buyer cannot fund or board. A lower bid that funds and boards is a sale. A higher bid that stalls is not.
