The rapid evolution of the debt collection business

Article Abstract:

The business relationship between credit grantors and debt collectors is growing. Advances in computer technology have expanded the scope of data processing services available to American Collectors Assn (ACA) members, and make it more practical for credit grantors to have direct access to their accounts in the computer files of the collection companies that serve them. ACA members and other responsible collectors have also worked in partnership with credit grantors to abide by provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which was passed by Congress in 1977.

Biweekly mortgages enter the market: consumer lending faces new challenges

Article Abstract:

Consumers and lenders can benefit from new biweekly mortgages. The automatic deduction of a mortgage payment from the consumer's checking account every 14 days and the maintenance of a ready-reserve account are the basic requirements. The consumer saves thousands of dollars in overall interest rates and the pay-off period is shortened. The lender enjoys minimal collection costs with suitable software applications. The value of collateral in the lender's portfolio and internal monitoring controls can also dealt with by computer.
