When banks, credit card companies, and other creditors are unable to collect on an unpaid loan or purchase, they may hire a collection agency to collect on their behalf, or they may sell those debts to companies like PRA’s subsidiaries. The debt is still yours, and it is still due. The right to collect on your account has been transferred to one of PRA’s subsidiaries. Our goal is to work collaboratively to help you resolve your debt in a way that is manageable for you.

The bank or credit card company that you borrowed from decided they no longer wanted to try to collect the debt, and they made a business decision to sell your debt to our subsidiary. We are committed to working together to help you resolve your outstanding obligation and to design a payment plan that fits your budget.

Not all debt is bad; in fact, our economy depends on it as people go into debt to purchase homes, cars, and other items—which leads to economic expansion. It’s when debt goes unpaid that the economy suffers; bad debt costs business and lenders directly from lost revenue, and it affects all consumers when prices rise to cover those costs. Unpaid debt also leads to tighter credit restrictions and higher interest rates, making it harder to purchase a home, start a business, and other activities that stimulate growth. The debt buying and collection industry, led by companies like PRA, helps mitigate these problems. PRA, through its subsidiaries, has recycled billions of dollars of capital back to the banks, who in turn are then able to lend more and at cheaper rates to eligible borrowers. We have always been there for millions of individuals, offering them a fair, affordable solution to repay some or all of their debt.

Debt collection is as old as people using money to buy and sell goods. But today’s debt collection industry is relatively new. The savings and loan crisis in the 1980s brought a staggering number of foreclosures, and with it a new modern business model of debt sales and collection. It has evolved into a highly regulated system. There is strict government regulated oversight of the industry, but there are still unscrupulous players that harm the industry’s reputation in spite of the many companies that are transparent and play by the rules. PRA Group’s subsidiaries pride themselves on their commitment to professionalism, ethics, and transparency.
