Which buyers assess this band?
At the entry published band, counseling agencies may assess repayment affordability and lenders may assess whether a new loan fits. Settlement firms must check their own debt minimum; this band is not a universal settlement-eligibility threshold.
Debt categories that use this table
Settlement, consolidation, counseling, credit-card, medical and personal-loan/collections leads use the standard unsecured debt table. Student-loan and business-debt pages also display this table, but their balances and service eligibility need separate review. IRS and state tax debt use the tax pricing table, not this band.
Filter more than the headline balance
Check debt types, payment status, income, employment and states served. Use credit and homeowner signals where relevant. A band is reported qualification data, not independently verified debt, a settlement outcome or a loan approval. Buyers are responsible for their own licensing and TSR compliance.
