Expanded Product Line Created for Credit Card, Litigation, Student Loan, Medical and Telecom Debt.

March 12, 2008 — New York, NY, March 12, 2008 - LexisNexis® Risk & Information Analytics Group today announced the expansion of the RecoverScore™ product line, which now includes advanced scoring models for Credit Card, Litigation, Student Loan, Medical and Telecom debt. The RecoverScore product is part of the LexisNexis Collections Management Solution line.

With the expansion of the RecoverScore product line, LexisNexis Risk & Information Analytics Group helps collectors explore more specialized types of debt, prioritize their collection efforts and focus on the most collectible accounts in their portfolio. In addition, segmentation techniques help collections professionals design and execute highly effective collection strategies for greater return on investment.

Studies have shown that in many instances, an estimated 50% of debtor accounts represent 80% of the collection payments obtained.  The LexisNexis RecoverScore product line helps to identify those accounts which are most likely to result in a collection payment.

"The cost efficiency of RecoverScore allows clients to score more of their portfolios than is often possible through other more costly credit-based scores," said Rob Fite, vice president of collection solutions for LexisNexis Risk & Information Analytics Group. "By leveraging our extensive databases and analytics capabilities, RecoverScore can provide contactability and liquidity assessments that outperform other scores in the Collections marketplace."

"When clients test us in their workflows, they often find LexisNexis RecoverScore to be a more cost-effective and better-performing alternative to other credit-based scores and other scoring options”, said Fite. “Or they see RecoverScore as a complement to their existing scores already deployed in their workflows."

The expanded RecoverScore product line is part of the Collections Analytic Tools capability that LexisNexis Risk & Information Analytics Group offers its collection customers. LexisNexis® Collections Management Solutions offer collections professionals the following capabilities:

• Debtor Insight - Data & information Intelligence tools that combine data and logic to create a greater degree of debtor insight. 

• Collections Analytic Tools – Solutions that allow firms to more effectively segment their portfolios and develop the most effective collections strategies to better build their business and manage their debt portfolios.
