WHAT IS A DEBT BUYER?

A debt buyer is a company or organization that purchases defaulted debt from creditors for pennies on the dollar. Debt buyers purchase hundreds or thousands of delinquent accounts in one transaction, generally for a fraction of the face value of the debt. Once the debt buyer acquires your debt from a credit card or loan company, it stands in the shoes of the original creditor. As such, the debt buyer attempts to collect the entire amount owed, including late fees and finance charges resulting in significant profits to the debt buyer.
