How creditors choose a path

Keep, place, or sell. A first slice beats a noisy whole book.

Decide

  • Keep, place, or sell. Not “see what we get” while placement is still working the same accounts.
  • Whole book vs a first slice (product, vintage, states).
  • Spot vs later flow.

Package

  • Snapshot: asset class, face, vintage, count.
  • Title trail and media percent.
  • Ineligible flags if you have them.
  • One named contact.

Close and after

  • Buyer screen plus any extra PSA conditions (states, no-litigate, insurance).
  • Cut-off, funding, warranty exhibit.
  • Stop work on sold accounts. Staff the 90-day window.

Questions this page answers

Who signs this internally?

Finance for proceeds, legal for the PSA, ops for cut-off. All three.

Can we skip the first-slice step?

Only if the book is already clean. Messy whole-book dumps take the worst bid.

Where does the snapshot go?

Submit a portfolio, or email portfolios@debtmarket.net from a work address.
