Sell debt: guides by debt type

Last updated:

Short answer: You can sell almost any debt you own: credit card and consumer charge-offs, medical, utility and telecom balances, BNPL and fintech loans, auto deficiencies, mortgage notes, student and payday loans, court judgments and business receivables. Price depends mostly on age, prior collection placements, documentation and state mix. Pick your debt type below for a guide.

Whatever you hold, whether consumer charge-offs, court judgments or commercial receivables, start with the guide for your debt type. Each one covers what buyers check, what drives price, and the compliance points to raise with counsel.
