Charged-Off Residential Gas Customer Accounts
Midwest Utility Company - 96% Illinois

LoanTrade Inc. is pleased to exclusively present our client’s offer to sell charged-off residential gas utility accounts. The Seller is a well-known gas utility company located in the Midwest.

This portfolio consists of accounts with last know mailing addresses from the following areas:

Suburban Cook County (59%) – North/Central Illinois (29%) - Chicago (8%) – Other States (4%)

Accounts offered for sale have had no internal post charge-off recovery and have recently been recalled from primary collection agencies. The Seller has used no post-primary collection agencies. Approximately 80% of all debtors were identified as property owners (20% renters).

The filing of liens on real estate following the procurement of judgments is a little known, but proven recovery tool for some utility companies nationwide. While real estate liens have not been placed on accounts in this portfolio, the Seller does employ this technique on selected other accounts in its portfolio. Neither the Seller nor LoanTrade Inc. represent or warrant that the purchaser may be able to place liens on real estate in connection with the accounts in this portfolio.

The Portfolio is available for bid in its entirety or by pool
