Debt Solution Tips

SHARES in the nation's biggest debt collection agency, Credit Corp Group, collapsed yesterday, falling nearly 80 per cent after the company revealed its full-year profit would probably drop by almost 50 per cent.

Management blamed the dramatic profit decline on a "substantial proportion" of recent debt ledger purchases failing to meet revenue expectations.
Debt collection agencies make their money from bidding for parcels of bad and doubtful debts, with the aim of recouping more than they paid for them.
