Profile:

 

Subject has an established network of attorneys throughout all 50 states. Partner and attorney Mark Spatz heads the litigation team on their asset based litigations. This is a one stop for litigation nationally with the ability to view the status of any litigation account at any time. The legal portion of their collection process makes up a sizable portion of the Return on Investment (ROI) for their investors, clients and joint venture partners and is a pivotal portion of their process. Many agencies lose money by not pursuing qualified legal accounts. This type of aggressive collection policy is what separates Global from the rest of the industry.

 

Subject has the ability to place with any of their nationally licensed collection agencies both domestically and internationally and has the strength of hundreds of collectors in their network. Global specializes in the purchasing and contingency placement of FRESH, secondary, tertiary and out of stat accounts from national banks and financial institutions for their clients. They also specialize in the liquidation of contingency debt from other purchasers and other agencies that send their overflow work to Global.

 

Another reason Global is so innovative and unique is our 24-7-365 Customer Service. In many cases track on line production of the investment or placement any time by accessing their database. They can also customize the type of collection program from the long term collection litigation programs which include accounts going to judgment and then into asset execution and property liens and mortgage refinancing to use new income sources for the purchasing of bankruptcies and judgments. The strategy or programs choose will determine the length of the lifetime of the debt. Their believe one of the keys to this opportunity is the diversity of Global to have access to all of the originator banks, financial institutions, collectors internationally, and attorneys all under one roof.

Joint Ventures and Goal

Subject is currently pursuing national clients, US Collection agencies and debt purchasers to enter into Joint Ventures with us on existing inventory or new purchases. These JVs are attractive because of the reduced cost in the overseas collection call center and yet the same or better liquidation or Return on Investment (ROI). This attraction will bring steady strength and growth to both Global and their partners in industry.



 

Services:

 

Debt Purchasers and Overflow Collection Agency Placement Opportunities

 

Debt purchasers and many collection agencies place accounts and their overflow debt with Subject because of their overseas collection call centers that produce the same liquidation on collection portfolios as most US agencies, but Global can get it done for less and this enables their collection call centers to get optimum liquidation and ROI (return on investment) for their investors, clients and joint venture partners.

 


Collection Program

 

Subject offers a state of the art collection services program. By signing up with Global to handle the collection needs the following steps are taken to ensure the recovery.

 

·       Send the client an acknowledgement report of receiving that particular portfolio for liquidation with a breakdown of accounts.

·       Run all placed accounts through their verification department to get the most updated addresses and phone numbers available.

·       Send out the initial demand letter within 24 hours of receiving the accounts to all debtors.

·       Assign accounts to their team of highly qualified collection and asset location agents.

·       Collect on the portfolio and send back the money.

·       Can report the accounts to Experian, Equifax and Trans Union credit bureaus.

·       Can send the asset based accounts through their network of attorneys nationally for litigation.

·       Can sell the portfolio to any of Globals existing debt purchasers or brokers after they determine the accounts to be un-collectable.

 

 

Investor and Investment Group Opportunities

 

Subject also attracts many investors and investment groups that purchase debt and place it out for collection. Due to their ability to get the job done for less, it maximizes profits for investors and investment groups and gives them a wonderful stock market alternative. Global makes monthly purchases of fresh, secondary, tertiary and out of statue credit card debt for collection and liquidation through their network of collection call centers and attorneys offices both domestically and internationally. Global has in place forward flow commitments from many different investment and venture capital groups to make monthly purchases of accounts. This gives Global an advantage over those collection agencies that depend on contingency placements only.


Throughout the identification process of supply-demand source imbalances in capital, product types and information availability, Global achieves attractive risk adjusted returns by investing in real estate, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities Throughout the world. This strategy is designed to consistantly achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns by minimizing competition with outer capital sources, while maximizing value through intensive post-aquisition management. Three themes define this strategic approach;

 

(1). Cautious contarianism during downturns or secular changes, investing in out of favor sectors or markets tp exploit capital or product misalignments.

 

(2). Exploitation of inefficiencies capitalizing on information advantages to identify micro market imbalances and secure investment on favorable terms.

 

(3). Value-added management to optimal exits creating capital appreciation opportunities through repositioning, restructuring, development and intensive management. Global has effectively applied its investment strategy throughout a variety of market conditions. As competitive eprssures in the asset backed porfolio sector reduced expected yields, Global will expand the geographic and product scope of its activities while maintaining the decipline of its historically successful strategy.



Franchise and Liquidator Opportunities

 

Subject also offers collection agencies and call centers an opportunity to become part of their fast growing network of domestic and international collection call centers. Global offers an all inclusive program for franchises as well as a monthly program for those call centers wanting to become part of the network as a liquidator and paying costs.

 

 

Overseas Information:

 

When people talk about having a call center in India, they generally are talking about a single call center in India. Subject has opened several collection call centers and intends to open and support many more that they are currently discussions with. Subject plans to have 10-12 India Collection Call centers by the end of 2008. This will make Global one of the largest outsourcers of debt in the United States.


Subject is able to give large debt purchasers or contingency placement clients the same or better production than agencies throughout the United States and get it done for a little less. Global likes to pass these savings onto their clients to maximize ROI (return on investment) for their investors, contingency placement clients and joint venture partners. Their India locations have access to all of the best collection and skip tracing tools available in the industry today and that along with an aggressive asset based litigation program really does give the best return available in today’s changing marketplace.
