What happens when a loan goes to collections?

During the first 90 days before we send an account to our collections partner, SoLo will make debit attempts and send communication to the borrower informing them of the money owed.  If payment is not received within 90 days of the due date, the account will automatically be assigned to our collections partner.

Once a loan is sent to collections, the Borrower has the option to pay in-app or directly to our collections vendor. 

When payment is received our collections partner will keep 30% as their fee and SoLo will pass along the remaining 70% to the Lender, if applicable

If you have any further questions about the collections process, please contact our support team.
