Abstract

A system and method for enhancing assignment of debtor accounts to a plurality of collection parties is presented. The preferred embodiment is capable of optimizing the way by which individual performance entities are assigned to collect on actionable individual debtor accounts by a creditor. An analysis solution uses algorithms to analyze gathered data and to provide a score to each collection party based upon the traits of the individual collection parties, debtor accounts, creditor, externally acquired data, and constraints upon all of the parties involved. The system and method are also capable of enhancing an individual borrower'"'"'s credit score depending on the risk involved with providing credit to that particular borrower based upon the collectability upon default. One embodiment of the invention would include a risk analysis and compliance assessment system for supply entities to evaluate potential performance entities or other entities.

Claims

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of allocating debt collection accounts among collection parties, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving an input data file including a plurality of debt collection accounts, each debt collection account of the plurality of debt collection accounts having a plurality of account traits;

determining, for each collection party of a plurality of collection parties, a plurality of performance traits for the collection party;

for each debt collection account of the plurality of debt collection accounts, allocating the debt collection account to a collection party of the plurality of collection parties, based at least in part on the account traits of the debt collection account and the performance traits of the collection party;

based on the step of allocating, generating an output data file including the allocation of debt collection accounts among collection parties;

receiving a compliance data file for each collection party of the plurality of collection parties, the compliance data file assessing compliance by the collection party with a plurality of compliance standards;

based on the compliance data for each collection party of the plurality of collection parties and a risk ruleset, generating a risk score for each collection party of the plurality of collection parties, the risk score representing a likelihood of compliance violations;

for each collection party of the plurality of collection parties, if the risk score for the collection party exceeds a predetermined threshold, generating a reallocation data file reallocating at least one debt collection account allocated to the collecting party based on an intervention ruleset, the intervention ruleset including a plurality of rules for reducing risk score;

reallocating at least one debt collection account based on the reallocation data file.
