Finance Receivables
4. Finance Receivables

Our finance receivables consist of personal loans, which are non-revolving, with a fixed-rate, fixed terms generally between three and six years, and are secured by automobiles, other titled collateral, or are unsecured.

Net finance receivables consist of our total portfolio of personal loans. Components of our personal loans were as follows:
(dollars in millions)September 30, 2020December 31, 2019
Gross receivables *$17,606 $18,195 
Unearned points and fees
(224)(242)
Accrued finance charges290 289 
Deferred origination costs145 147 
Total$17,817 $18,389 
* Gross receivables equal the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) except for the following:
Finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable — gross receivables are equal to UPB and, if applicable, any remaining unearned premium or discount established at the time of purchase to reflect the finance receivable balance at its initial fair value;
Purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts established prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13; and
Purchased credit deteriorated finance receivables — gross receivables equal the UPB and any remaining unearned discount established at the time of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.
CREDIT QUALITY INDICATOR

We consider the delinquency status of our finance receivables as our key credit quality indicator. We monitor the delinquency of our finance receivable portfolio, including the migration between the delinquency buckets and changes in the delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk in the portfolio. When finance receivables are 60 days contractually past due, we consider these accounts to be at an increased risk for loss and we transfer collection of these accounts to our centralized operations.

At 90 days or more contractually past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming. We stop accruing finance charges and reverse finance charges previously accrued on nonperforming loans. We reversed net accrued finance charges of $16 million and $66 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Finance charges recognized from the contractual interest portion of payments received on nonaccrual finance receivables totaled $3 million and $12 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. All loans in nonaccrual status are considered in our estimate of allowance for finance receivable losses.

The following is a summary of our personal loans held for investment by the year of origination and number of days delinquent, our key credit quality indicator, at September 30, 2020:

PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED FINANCE RECEIVABLES

ASU 2016-13 superseded the accounting for purchased credit impaired finance receivables with purchase credit deteriorated finance receivables. As a result, we converted all purchased credit impaired finance receivables to purchased credit deteriorated finance receivables in accordance with ASC Topic 326, which resulted in the gross-up of net finance receivables and allowance for finance receivable losses of $15 million on January 1, 2020. Due to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the following disclosures related to purchase credit impaired finance receivables are no longer applicable for reporting periods beginning in 2020.

We previously reported the carrying amount of our purchased credit impaired personal loans in net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, and our purchased credit impaired real estate loans in finance receivables held for sale as discussed below.

At December 31, 2019, finance receivables held for sale, reported in “Other assets,” totaled $64 million, which include purchased credit impaired real estate loans, as well as TDR real estate loans. See Note 6 for further information on our finance receivables held for sale.
