Experian Now Empowers Collectors With 'Improved Ability to Pay' Consumer Intelligence

  The Collection Triggers(SM) Platform Monitors Delinquent Consumer Credit
  Activity and Triggers Notification for Events That Indicate an Improved
                             Propensity to Pay

    COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian(R), a global
information solutions company, today announced the release of an enhanced
version of Collections Triggers(SM). The new version provides collectors
with notification when a debtor's ability to pay appears to be improving.
This is especially critical for financial services organizations looking to
optimize late stage and charged-off receivables.
    The introduction of additional trigger criteria and attributes within
Collection Triggers increases the ability for companies to act quickly when
new information is available. Subscribers to Collection Triggers are
notified within 24 hours when the financial status of a consumer within
their collection portfolio has improved.
    "Collection Triggers increases revenue by allowing companies to be
first to the door of consumers who have improved their ability to pay,"
said Zaydoon H. Munir, senior vice president, Experian's Consumer
Information Solutions. "This tool allows companies to increase their
productivity by only working delinquent or charged-off accounts when there
is tangible evidence that renewed contact will yield results."
    The enhanced Collection Triggers solution offers:

    *  A low-cost solution since charges are only incurred when new
       information on an account is available

    *  An economical "best address" option that notifies companies immediately
       if a newer address exists for a delinquent account

    *  The ability to append 15 different score models to one or more types of
       trigger notifications, including Experian's VantageScore(SM) and
       RecoveryScore(SM)

    *  Improved management reporting and enhanced e-mail notification

    *  Monitoring of public record, civil action, tradeline and demographic
       events to help prioritize and segment collection strategies

    *  Triggering options and rules around monitoring frequency that can be
       customized based on priorities
    "Collection Triggers is a powerful and intuitive tool for debt
collectors who want to concentrate resources on the most collectible
segments of their portfolio," said Munir. "Clients can monitor thousands of
accounts and align their expenditures to monitor the consumer events that
will most likely lead to recovery. This product is particularly beneficial
for the debt buyers forced to operate on tight margins with the need for
maximum efficiency."
