Submarginal Credit Risk Classification

Abstract: Installment credit grantors require a method of distinguishing delinquent borrowers from whom an extension will be likely to result in repayment of the loans from those for whom the probability of repayment is too low to warrant further expenditure and against whom additional collection efforts would be unprofitable. A method evolved from the techniques utilized in the Marginal Credit Risk Study in the attempt to distinguish personal bankrupts, who in filing bankruptcy could be presumed to express the intent to not repay, from petitioners filing under Chapter XIII of the Bankruptcy Act and debt counselees who, under both plans, voluntarily enter programs for the repayment of their debts.
