Quote:Our Approach

Thorough, Responsible... and technically adept, Unifund creates value for all stakeholders. We are thorough and responsible in recovering distressed assets -- managing, arbitraging, selling and otherwise liquidating defaulted consumer debt. Our approach is to study and understand the motivations that underlie debtor actions and behaviors. We focus on debtors with the ability to pay. Our technology enables us to evaluate and manage account information from various internal and external sources, which often rekindle the possibility of collection. We use a combination of sales, litigation and joint venture opportunities to liquidate the portfolios we own and those we manage for others.


We Seek These Types of Consumer Debt

Auto Deficiencies
Balance Transfers
Consumer Loans
Credit Cards
Government Debtor Obligations
Mortgages
Student Loans
Other Debt

We believe our technology provides a distinct competitive advantage over traditional approaches to debt buying, debt selling and legal collections. We purchase most accounts directly from issuers. Our business model is based on the regenerative nature of debtor credit cycles. We drive revenue opportunities in the buying and selling of non-performing assets through partnerships and strategic alliances.

Do you think Goose defaulted on his tuition for his 110-day TESC "degree"?  

Unifund obviously thinks Goose has the ability to pay.  So this is not just the case of a guy down on his luck, about which we all would feel so very sorry.  Rather, this looks like a guy who just doesn't feel like paying his bills.  Maybe because he has better things to do with his cash, like playing the ponies at Hialeah or the dogs at Flagler.  

Or maybe he's got more in common with Elmer and Bear than just DL????  Could Goose be "Client 5"?????????

Evidently he was cursed with a very good memory.  So he certainly didn't forget to pay.

Quote:I am simultaneously pursuing 4 distinct Master's degrees (2 of which I would actually call pseudodegrees). But I don't care whether I complete any of them (since I don't need the credentials). So I am not a good model...

Quote:If so motivated, one can easily search through the dregs of academia to find an accredited pseudodegree that can be completed without too much effort.

Quote:I have mentioned earlier in this thread that I don’t care whether I complete any of them. I already have three degrees (including MS and PhD from Stanford) so additional credentials aren’t going to do me much good (and could actually reduce the impact of my resume).
