In the case of a domain name that paraded itself in social media and television networks, the value is almost $15,000,000 dollars.

How so?

In last week’s Tonight with John Oliver, the TV show host shared how he legally formed a debt collecting agency, and using nothing but a single page lander on a web site, managed to get inquiries regarding the acquisition of debt.

Oliver went ahead and used the company, Central Asset Recovery Professionals, Inc., to buy debt worth $14,922,261.76 dollars for less than 1/2 a cent on the dollar. They ended up spending about $60,000 dollars for the rights to this chunk of debt.

Then, on the show, John Oliver announced that his company is forgiving this medical debt, thus eliminating the financial obligations of nearly 9,000 people associated with it.

Wow.

The domain used, CentralAssetRecoveryProfessionals.com, surely cost a paltry $10 to register but in terms of function value, it represents almost $15 million dollars in our book.

I didn't know about debt buying business so far. Looks like a huge industry.
That's a $10 name that enabled a $15,000,000 campaign.

Your thoughts on this??

I saw this when watching the show on Sunday night. It was pretty funny and cool of John Oliver to do. Debt buying is definitely a huge business, and he showed just how easy it is to get into..lol

Nice share!

The debt he purchased was 'unsecured debt'.

Which means, the debt is so old that nobody can be sued to pay it. This is why it was so cheap to buy the debt - odds are that it will take a great effort just to recoup the investment.

It's the 'handreg' of debt.

Some companies do debt collecting and just buy leads.They accept to take the risk but it's all about negotiation with debtors who have stopped paying long due interests.They then renegotiate and try to see if you can pay part of it then they make some money if you do instead of filling for bankruptcy.

That's all I heard or read years ago.

Putting your money into the business is really easy. Getting it out again, not so much :)

The "bible" of the business is Invest in Debt by Jimmy Napier. I have owned InvestinDebt.com for a long time.
