A creditor is the person or company that you have borrowed money or sold a product or service with which you make into an agreement to pay in the future. Usually this obligation includes the principal value and interest you will pay to the person or company for them to be part of that obligation.

A prime example of a secured debt is the mortgage, if for any reason you do not pay the monthly fee to the bank they could take home and sell it to recover their money. An unsecured debt is that you offer only your word and they’ll give the duty, an example would be a credit card.

A collection agency into an independent company to the creditor that buys the debt by an average of 7 cents on every dollar. If your debt is one thousand dollars, it is likely that the collection agency has paid less than $ 100 debt.
