I am currently working with Green Tree on a 2nd that originated with Countrywide, moved to BofA and has now been sold to Green Tree. I'm not overly excited about it and to see why just do a quick Google search on Green Tree Servicing and you'll see plenty of posts from people who've been treated quite poorly by GTS. Now with that said, let's face it, how often does the person who owes money talk about how great the customer service is at the institution they are paying back? Add to this the fact that Green Tree (according to my 'indepth?' research on Google) specializes in "bad debt" i.e. loans that are late, overdue etc. But it would definitely appear that the answer to your question is "YES".
"Ready for collections" means that a company has attempted to collect a debt from a customer without success and has now passed the account to a collections agency for further action. At this point, the collections agency will try to recover the debt on behalf of the original company.
To determine if you have debt in collections, you can check your credit report for any accounts that are marked as in collections. You can also receive notifications from collection agencies through mail or phone calls regarding outstanding debts.
Yes, collections can hurt your credit score. When a debt is sent to collections, it indicates that you have not paid it as agreed, which can lower your credit score.
Lenders will look at your resources and liabilities in addition to the assets of the business. They will then consider the debt servicing capability of the business enterprise and any other outside income you may introduce or debt you are presently servicing.
Yes. Companies that you apply to for a collections position that are managing a debt you owe will sometimes refuse your employment as a 'conflict of interest'. Still others may obligate you to repay the debt to eliminate the conflict. Some may even hire you based on a payroll deduction payment plan if unable to resolve the debt immediately. Agencies that are not managing a debt you owe will never know you are in collections unless you tell them and would care less even if they did know.
No.
The payment percentage is negotiated but is commonly thirty to fifty percent. Fifty percent generally reserved for legal collections or older debt. Some types of debt are commonly collected for as low as 15% The easier the collection the lower the percentage.
