As unpaid debt levels continue to rise, it is essential for buyers and sellers of debt to be able to use the most effective metrics to value portfolios. The value of historical payment and credit information has diminished in recent years, as many consumers with good credit have experienced dramatic reductions in financial capacity, and books are sold without adequate levels of consumer information to perform credit analyses. However, new data sources have emerged to enhance credit analyses.
IXI’s Ability to Pay Solutions offer a set of financial and economic filters that estimate a household’s financial capacity to pay its debt obligations.
Existing portfolio valuation inputs commonly include credit scores, income and asset estimates, and payment history, which only provide a view of past behavior.
IXI’s Ability to Pay Solutions provide an immediate and robust picture of a delinquent or defaulted consumer’s current ability to pay, as they project a household’s existing financial resources and credit usage. These solutions are modeled from multiple sources, including summary factors produced by IXI’s proprietary database of consumer investable assets. The foundation of this database includes anonymized directly measured assets gathered from over 95 leading banks, securities, and insurance firms.
IXI’s Ability to Pay Solutions include Ability to Pay Index, Income360, Comp360, and CreditStyles Pro*.
