Best Answer

To greatly simplify matters, if the initial credit assessment (determined during underwriting the risk of a potential account the prior to approving the loan) reveals any red flags (e.g., income not high enough to support loan, previous chargeoffs, judgments or bankruptcies, multiple late payments, etc.), the loan will not get approved, so that loan would never get to collections because that loan was not made.

Collections activities begin after a given payment has not been received. For some companies, that may be nothing as they allow for "sloppy" or late payers (typically by charging a fee). For others, they may immediately start reaching out to the cardmember for payment.

Because loans that have the potential to get to collections don't get made, there is no actionable correlation between initial credit assessment and loans that end up in collection.
