    What does it mean when banks write off bad debt?

    Nov 05, 2007 by techzone12 | Posted in Personal Finance

    I keep hearing about companies writing off, in response to the mortgage crisis. What does the term mean? And how bad is it for a bank like city group?

    wizjp is almost right but not exactly.

    When a company makes a loan, GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) requires the firm to hold a reserve against expected losses. For example, suppose a manufacturer sells $100 of goods on

    If i had 37,000 in bad debt write off, how much extra do I need pay in taxes this year to cover the amount?

    yes, these were creditors who wrote off a portion of my balance as I paid a lump sum payment. I wanted to confirm the amount they wrote off is considered taxable income and wanted to see how much extra I need to have deducted from my paycheck

    Walnut Creek likely to write off millions in Boundary Oak 'bad debt'

    18.05.12

    The Walnut Creek City Council signaled last week that it will likely write off -- that is, forgive -- Boundary Oak Golf Course's $2.6 million decades-old debt.

    This mostly forgotten about debt has been on the books for years. In the 1990s, the city's general fund loaned the "self-sustaining" city-owned golf course around $3 million to pay for court and other settlements related to food and beverage managers. The city paid the settlements with the understanding the golf course would reimburse the general fund from course profits. That "general fund obligation" has remained on the books; the course has made some payments on the loan, and missed others, said Barry Gordon, arts, recreation and community services director.

    Encore Capital buys tax lien firm for $187 million

    18.05.12

    Encore Capital Group, a San Diego company that buys written off bad debt, said Wednesday it acquired Propel Financial Services for $187 million.

    Propel, based in San Antonio, purchases delinquent property tax bills from local governments in Texas at face value. It then works with property owners to create payment plans that it claims are mutually agreeable to both parties. The principal and interest charged to property owners on the back taxes -- with interest rates in the mid-teens -- is how Propel/Encore makes money.
