LONDON, Aug. 16, 2012 /CNW/ - The Link Financial Group is pleased to announce that cash collections across its European footprint reached €50 million in July 2012.

New contract wins in the asset finance and leasing area have also helped the group's volumes along with the growing imperative within banks, credit card issuers and consumer finance lenders to deleverage their balance sheets and strengthen their capital base through the sale of their non-performing loan (NPL) portfolios.

Standard & Poor's (S&P) recently reviewed the company's servicer ranking raising it to 'STRONG - Outlook Stable' making Link Financial their highest rated consumer loan special servicer in the UK.
