Collection Accounts Demystified

A collection account is defined as a delinquent account that has been forwarded to a collection agency (also known as a collection agent) for lack of non-payment. An account is forwarded to a collection agency usually when an account becomes 90 to 120 days late. Collection accounts are purchased from the original creditors for a fraction of the original amount owed. Creditors send accounts to collection agencies to remove them from their accounts receivables records and then write-off the full debt owed as a loss. Creditors benefit in two ways, one for writing off the debt as a loss on their taxes and two when the money is collected which can be recorded as a profit or accounts receivable.
