Encore Capital Group, Inc.
A specialty finance company that buys up defaulted consumer debts—credit card and other unpaid bills banks have written off—for pennies on the dollar, then collects them through call centers, mail, and legal channels. It runs its U.S. business through Midland Credit Management (founded in 1953) and its European arm through Cabot Credit Management, which it fully acquired in 2018. In 2011 it introduced a Consumer Bill of Rights, pledging to waive fees and interest on consumer balances and stop reporting negative credit information after two years.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -12.08M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
