Debt Assignment
A transfer of debt from a creditor to a third party.
Investopedia Commentary
In a debt assignment, a creditor assigns the debt that is owed and all rights associated with it to a third party. This may occur at a personal or corporate level, and the debtor should remain unaffected unless new terms are agreed upon.
