Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Ownership, Description of Business, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Ownership, Description of Business, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Encore Capital Group, Inc. (“Encore”), through its subsidiaries (collectively with Encore, the “Company”), is an international specialty finance company providing debt recovery solutions and other related services for consumers across a broad range of financial assets. The Company purchases portfolios of defaulted consumer receivables at deep discounts to face value and manages them by working with individuals as they repay their obligations and work toward financial recovery. Defaulted receivables are consumers’ unpaid financial obligations to credit originators, including banks, credit unions, consumer finance companies and commercial retailers. Defaulted receivables may also include receivables subject to bankruptcy proceedings. The Company also provides debt servicing and other portfolio management services to credit originators for non-performing loans in Europe. Through Midland Credit Management, Inc. and its domestic affiliates (collectively, “MCM”), the Company is a market leader in portfolio purchasing and recovery in the United States. Through Cabot Credit Management Limited (“CCM”) and its subsidiaries and European affiliates (collectively, “Cabot”), the Company is one of the largest credit management services providers in Europe and a market leader in the United Kingdom. These are the Company’s primary operations. The Company also has investments and operations in Latin America and Asia-Pacific, which the Company refers to as “LAAP.” Financial Statement Preparation and Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company also consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, and (b) either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits. Refer to “Note 8: Variable Interest Entities” for further details. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation of Foreign Currencies The condensed financial statements of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using their local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates in effect during each period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the year which is the result of the income statement translation process. Intercompany transaction gains or losses at each period end arising from subsequent measurement of balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future are included as translation adjustments and recorded within other comprehensive income or loss. Translation gains or losses are the material components of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and are reclassified to earnings upon the substantial sale or liquidation of investments in foreign operations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to Encore by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock-based awards, and the dilutive effect of the convertible and exchangeable senior notes, if applicable. On August 12, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program. On May 5, 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved an increase in the size of the repurchase program from $50.0 million to $300.0 million (an increase of $250.0 million). Repurchases under this program are expected to be made with cash on hand and may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, in the open market, through private transactions, block transactions, or other methods as determined by the Company’s management and Board of Directors, and in accordance with market conditions, other corporate considerations, and applicable regulatory requirements. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The Company continues to repurchase its common stock under this program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 457,244 and 1,280,857 shares of its common stock for approximately $25.9 million and $76.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 854,002 and 1,976,857 shares of its common stock for approximately $40.7 million and $88.1 million, respectively. The Company’s practice is to retire the shares repurchased. A reconciliation of shares used in calculating earnings per basic and diluted shares follows (in thousands, except per share amounts) : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income attributable to Encore Capital Group, Inc. stockholders $ 31,494 $ 83,566 $ 267,682 $ 274,699 Total weighted-average basic shares outstanding 23,958 30,225 24,344 30,863 Dilutive effect of stock-based awards 301 404 365 358 Dilutive effect of convertible and exchangeable senior notes 1,660 733 1,892 310 Total weighted-average dilutive shares outstanding 25,919 31,362 26,601 31,531 Basic earnings per share $ 1.31 $ 2.76 $ 11.00 $ 8.90 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.22 $ 2.66 $ 10.06 $ 8.71 There were no anti-dilutive employee stock options outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Anti-dilutive employee stock options outstanding were zero and approximately 4,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ( i.e., the “exit price”). The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of each level: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, including inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. Financial Instruments Required To Be Carried At Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands) : Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Interest rate cap contracts $ — $ 40,282 $ — $ 40,282 Liabilities Cross-currency swap agreements — (67,668) — (67,668) Contingent consideration — — (1,103) (1,103) Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Interest rate cap contracts $ — $ 3,541 $ — $ 3,541 Liabilities Cross-currency swap agreements — (16,902) — (16,902) Contingent consideration — — (5,218) (5,218) Derivative Contracts: The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Fair values of these derivative instruments are estimated using industry standard valuation models. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign currency exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. Contingent Consideration: The following table provides a roll-forward of the fair value of contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands) : Amount Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 2,957 Issuance of contingent consideration in connection with purchase of noncontrolling interest 2,913 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (388) Payment of contingent consideration (180) Effect of foreign currency translation (84) Balance as of December 31, 2021 5,218 Change in fair value of contingent consideration 794 Payment of contingent consideration (4,078) Effect of foreign currency translation (831) Balance as of September 30, 2022 $ 1,103 Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement: Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include real estate-owned assets classified as held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of the assets held for sale and estimated selling expenses were determined at the time of initial recognition and in each reporting period using Level 3 measurements based on appraised values using market comparables. The fair value estimate of the assets held for sale was approximately $65.3 million and $44.6 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried At Fair Value The table below summarizes fair value estimates for the Company's financial instruments that are not required to be carried at fair value. The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company. The carrying amounts in the following table are included in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands) : September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Financial Assets Investment in receivable portfolios, net $ 2,976,202 $ 3,197,117 $ 3,065,553 $ 3,416,926 Financial Liabilities Convertible senior notes due March 2022 (1) — — 150,000 195,009 Exchangeable senior notes due September 2023 172,500 201,547 172,500 257,782 Convertible senior notes due October 2025 100,000 125,509 100,000 165,887 Senior secured notes (2) 1,358,671 1,202,918 1,606,327 1,652,246 Encore private placement notes 78,160 75,041 107,470 108,652 _______________________ (1) The 2022 Convertible Senior Notes matured on March 15, 2022 and the Company repaid the notes in cash. (2) Carrying amount represents historical cost, adjusted for any related debt discount or debt premium. Investment in Receivable Portfolios: The fair value of investment in receivable portfolios is measured using Level 3 inputs by discounting the estimated future cash flows generated by the Company’s proprietary forecasting models. The key inputs include the estimated future gross cash flow, average cost to collect, and discount rate. The determination of such inputs requires significant judgment, including assessing the assumed market participant’s cost structure, its determination of whether to include fixed costs in its valuation, its collection strategies, and determining the appropriate weighted average cost of capital. The Company evaluates the use of these key inputs on an ongoing basis and refines the data as it continues to obtain better information from market participants in the debt recovery and purchasing business. Borrowings: The Company’s convertible notes, exchangeable notes, senior secured notes and private placement notes are carried at historical cost, adjusted for the applicable debt discount. The fair value estimate for the convertible and exchangeable notes incorporates quoted market prices using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the senior secured notes and private placement notes is estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses using available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the Company used Level 2 inputs for these debt instrument fair value estimates. The carrying value of the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility and securitisation senior facility approximates fair value due to the use of current market rates that are repriced frequently. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Instruments | Derivatives and Hedging InstrumentsThe Company may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to interest rates and foreign currency. Certain of the Company’s derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments as recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (in thousands) : September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate cap contracts Other assets $ 40,282 Other assets $ 3,541 Cross-currency swap agreements Other liabilities (67,668) Other liabilities (16,902) Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments The Company may periodically enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable interest rate debt and their impact on earnings and cash flows. Under the swap agreements, the Company receives floating interest rate payments and makes interest payments based on fixed interest rates. The Company historically designated its interest rate swap instruments as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2022, there were no interest rate swap agreements. The Company also uses interest rate cap contracts to manage its risk related to the interest rate fluctuations in its variable interest rate bearing debt. As of September 30, 2022, the Company held two interest rate cap contracts with a notional amount of approximately $783.0 million. The interest rate cap hedging the fluctuations in three-month EURIBOR floating rate debt (“2019 Cap”) has a notional amount of €400.0 million (approximately $392.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 to €1.02, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022) and matures in June 2024. The interest rate cap hedging the fluctuations in sterling overnight index average (“SONIA”) bearing debt (“2021 Cap”) has a notional amount of £350.0 million (approximately $391.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 to £0.90, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022) and matures in September 2024. The Company expects the hedge relationships to be highly effective and designates the 2019 Cap and 2021 Cap as cash flow hedge instruments. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $18.0 million of net derivative gain from OCI into earnings relating to interest rate caps within the next 12 months. The Company uses cross-currency swap agreements to manage foreign currency exchange risk by converting fixed-rate Euro-denominated borrowings including periodic interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity to fixed-rate USD debt. The cross-currency swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2022, there were four cross-currency swap agreements outstanding with a total notional amount of €350.0 million (approximately $343.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 to €1.02, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022). The Company expects to reclassify approximately $7.5 million of net derivative loss from OCI into earnings relating to cross-currency swaps within the next 12 months. The following tables summarize the effects of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships designated as hedging instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands) : Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from OCI into Income (Loss) Gain (Loss) Reclassified from OCI into Income (Loss) Three Months Ended September 30, Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Interest rate swap agreements $ — $ (20) Interest expense $ — $ (4,203) Interest rate cap contracts 23,422 72 Interest expense (201) (109) Cross-currency swap agreements (27,913) (12,030) Interest expense (2,263) (1,358) Cross-currency swap agreements Other expense (23,630) (9,605) Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from OCI into Income (Loss) Gain (Loss) Reclassified from OCI into Income (Loss) Nine Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Interest rate swap agreements $ — $ (69) Interest expense $ — $ (8,742) Interest rate cap contracts 39,772 140 Interest expense (554) (325) Cross-currency swap agreements (56,752) (26,852) Interest expense (5,986) (3,634) Cross-currency swap agreements Other expense (54,482) (21,193) |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Investment in Receivable Portfolios, Net | Investment in Receivable Portfolios, Net The Company’s purchased portfolios of loans are grossed-up to their face value with an offsetting allowance and noncredit discount allocated to the individual receivables as the unit of account is at the individual loan level. Since each loan is deeply delinquent and deemed uncollectible at the individual loan level, the Company applies its charge-off policy and fully writes-off the amortized costs ( i.e. , face value net of noncredit discount) of the individual receivables immediately after purchasing the portfolio. The Company then records a negative allowance that represents the present value of all expected future recoveries for pools of receivables that share similar risk characteristics using a discounted cash flow approach, which ultimately equals the amount paid for a portfolio purchase and presented as “Investment in receivable portfolios, net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The discount rate is an effective interest rate (or “purchase EIR”) based on the purchase price of the portfolio and the expected future cash flows at the time of purchase. Receivable portfolio purchases are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics. Examples of risk characteristics include financial asset type, collateral type, size, interest rate, date of origination, term, and geographic location. The Company’s static pools are typically grouped into credit card, purchased consumer bankruptcy, and mortgage portfolios. The Company further groups these static pools by geographic location. Once a pool is established, the portfolios will remain in the designated pool unless the underlying risk characteristics change. The purchase EIR of a pool will not change over the life of the pool even if expected future cash flows change. Revenue is recognized for each static pool over the economic life of the pool. Debt purchasing revenue includes two components: (1) Revenue from receivable portfolios, which is the accretion of the discount on the negative allowance due to the passage of time (generally the portfolio balance multiplied by the EIR) and also includes all revenue from zero basis portfolio (“ZBA”) collections, and (2) Changes in recoveries, which includes (a) Recoveries above or below forecast, which is the difference between (i) actual cash collected/recovered during the current period and (ii) expected cash recoveries for the current period, which generally represents over or under performance for the period; and (b) Changes in expected future recoveries, which is the present value change of expected future recoveries, where such change generally results from (i) collections “pulled forward from” or “pushed out to” future periods (i.e. amounts either collected early or expected to be collected later) and (ii) magnitude and timing changes to estimates of expected future collections (which can be increases or decreases). The Company measures expected future recoveries based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Both internal and external factors may have an impact on expected future recoveries. Internal factors include operational performance, such as capacity and the productivity of our collection staff. External factors include new laws or regulations, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, and macroeconomic conditions.

Collections during the three months ended September 30, 2022, under-performed the projected cash flows by approximately $4.9 million. The Company has experienced an unusually high level of collections resulting from changes in consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to improvements in collections capabilities, and therefore increased expected future cash flows for certain pool groups in previous periods. The pandemic-related drivers of this changed behavior have normalized in recent quarters, and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, collections under-performed the projected cash flows. Collections during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, over-performed the projected cash flows by approximately $51.4 million. When reassessing the forecasts of expected lifetime recoveries during the three months ended September 30, 2022, management considered, among other factors, historical and current collection performance, changes in consumer behavior, and the macroeconomic environment and believes that projected future cash flows for certain static pools resulted in decreased total expected recoveries. As a result, the Company has updated its forecast, resulting in changes in the timing and amount of total estimated remaining collections which in turn, when discounted to present value, resulted in a negative change in expected future recoveries of approximately $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This negative change in expected future recoveries, together with the positive changes recorded in previous quarters, resulted in a net positive change of expected future period recoveries of $127.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded approximately $11.2 million and $101.2 million, respectively, in negative change in expected future recoveries. |

Global Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility In September 2020, the Company entered into a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility agreement (as amended and restated, the “Global Senior Facility”). On March 29, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Global Senior Facility to, among other things (1) upsize the facility by $90.0 million to $1.14 billion, (2) extend the termination date of the facility from September 2025 to September 2026, and (3) transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR for U.S. dollar borrowings. As of September 30, 2022, the Global Senior Facility provided for a total committed facility of $1.14 billion that matures in September 2026 and includes the following key provisions: • Interest at Term SOFR (or EURIBOR for any loan drawn in Euro or a rate based on SONIA for any loan drawn in British Pound), with a Term SOFR (or EURIBOR or SONIA) floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.50%, plus in the case of Term SOFR borrowings, a credit adjustment spread of 0.10%; • An unused commitment fee of 0.40% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears; • A restrictive covenant that limits the LTV Ratio (defined in the Global Senior Facility) to 0.75 in the event that the Global Senior Facility is more than 20% utilized; • A restrictive covenant that limits the SSRCF LTV Ratio (defined in the Global Senior Facility) to 0.275; • A restrictive covenant that requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Global Senior Facility) of at least 2.0; • Additional restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends and the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens; and • Standard events of default which, upon occurrence, may permit the lenders to terminate the Global Senior Facility and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Global Senior Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors. Pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement entered into with respect to the relative positions of (1) the Global Senior Facility, any super priority hedging liabilities and the Encore Private Placement Notes (collectively, “Super Senior Liabilities”) and (2) the Senior Secured Notes, Super Senior Liabilities that are secured by assets that also secure the Senior Secured Notes will receive priority with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action over any such assets. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding borrowings under the Global Senior Facility were $596.6 million. The weighted average interest rate of the Global Senior Facility was 4.71% and 3.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Global Senior Facility was 3.69% and 3.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Available capacity under the Global Senior Facility, after taking into account applicable debt covenants, was approximately $535.3 million as of September 30, 2022. Encore Private Placement Notes In August 2017, Encore entered into $325.0 million in senior secured notes with a group of insurance companies (the “Encore Private Placement Notes”). As of September 30, 2022, $78.2 million of the Encore Private Placement Notes remained outstanding. The Encore Private Placement Notes bear an annual interest rate of 5.625%, mature in August 2024 and require quarterly principal payments of $9.8 million. The covenants and material terms for the Encore Private Placement Notes are substantially similar to those for the Global Senior Facility. Senior Secured Notes The following table provides a summary of the Company’s senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) ($ in thousands) : September 30, December 31, Maturity Date Interest Payment Dates Interest Rate Encore 2025 Notes $ 343,018 $ 397,928 Oct 15, 2025 Apr 15, Oct 15 4.875 % Encore 2026 Notes 335,125 405,808 Feb 15, 2026 Feb 15, Aug 15 5.375 % Encore 2028 Notes 279,271 338,174 Jun 1, 2028 Jun 1, Dec 1 4.250 % Encore 2028 Floating Rate Notes 406,721 471,829 Jan 15, 2028 Jan 15, Apr 15, Jul 15, Oct 15 EURIBOR +4.250% (1) $ 1,364,135 $ 1,613,739 _______________________ (1) Interest rate is based on three-month EURIBOR (subject to a 0% floor) plus 4.250% per annum, resets quarterly. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by the same collateral as the Global Senior Facility and the Encore Private Placement Notes. The guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Notes are pari passu with each such guarantee given in respect of the Global Senior Facility and Encore Private Placement Notes. Subject to the intercreditor agreement described above under the section “Global Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility,” Super Senior Liabilities that are secured by assets that also secure the Senior Secured Notes will receive priority with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action over any such assets. Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes The following table provides a summary of the principal balance, maturity date and interest rate for the Company’s convertible and exchangeable senior notes (the “Convertible Notes” or “Exchangeable Notes,” as applicable) ($ in thousands) : September 30, December 31, Maturity Date Interest Payment Dates Interest Rate 2022 Convertible Notes $ — $ 150,000 Mar 15, 2022 Mar 15, Sep 15 3.250 % 2023 Exchangeable Notes 172,500 172,500 Sep 1, 2023 Mar 1, Sep 1 4.500 % 2025 Convertible Notes 100,000 100,000 Oct 1, 2025 Apr 1, Oct 1 3.250 % $ 272,500 $ 422,500 On March 15, 2022, the Company’s $150.0 million 2022 Convertible Notes matured. The 2022 Convertible Notes had a conversion price of $45.33. In September 2021, in accordance with the indenture for the 2022 Convertible Notes, the Company irrevocably elected “combination settlement” with a specified dollar amount equal to $1,750 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes. In March 2022, the Company settled the conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes entirely in cash for $221.2 million, of which $71.2 million (the excess above the principal amount) represents the conversion spread and was recognized in the Company’s stockholder’s equity. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Exchangeable Notes were issued by Encore Capital Europe Finance Limited (“Encore Finance”), a 100% owned finance subsidiary of Encore, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Encore. Unless otherwise indicated in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Encore will fully and unconditionally guarantee any debt securities issued by Encore Finance. Amounts related to Encore Finance are included in the consolidated financial statements of Encore subsequent to April 30, 2018, the date of incorporation of Encore Finance. In order to reduce the risk related to the potential dilution and/or the potential cash payments the Company may be required to make in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock becomes greater than the conversion or exchange prices of the Convertible Notes and the Exchangeable Notes, the Company may enter into hedge programs that increase the effective conversion or exchange price for the Convertible Notes and the Exchangeable Notes. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had one hedge program that increases the effective exchange price for the 2023 Exchangeable Notes. The hedge instrument has been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and meets the criteria for equity classification. The Company recorded the cost of the hedge instrument as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, and does not recognize subsequent changes in fair value of this financial instrument in its consolidated financial statement. The Company did not hedge the 2022 Convertible Notes or the 2025 Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the indentures for the Company’s Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes, the conversion and exchange rates were adjusted upon the completion of the Company’s tender offer effective in December 2021. Certain key terms related to the convertible and exchangeable features as of September 30, 2022 are listed below ($ in thousands, except conversion or exchange price) : 2023 Exchangeable Notes 2025 Convertible Notes Initial conversion or exchange price $ 44.62 $ 40.00 Closing stock price at date of issuance $ 36.45 $ 32.00 Closing stock price date Jul 20, 2018 Sep 4, 2019 Initial conversion or exchange rate (shares per $1,000 principal amount) 22.4090 25.0000 Adjusted conversion or exchange rate (shares per $1,000 principal amount) 22.5264 25.1310 Adjusted conversion or exchange price $ 44.39 $ 39.79 Adjusted effective conversion or exchange price (1) $ 62.13 $ 39.79 Excess of if-converted value compared to principal (2) $ 4,226 $ 14,296 Conversion or exchange date (3) Mar 1, 2023 Jul 1, 2025 _______________________ (1) As discussed above, the Company maintains a hedge program that increases the effective exchange price for the 2023 Exchangeable Notes to $62.13. (2) Represents the premium the Company would have to pay assuming the Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes were converted or exchanged on September 30, 2022 using a hypothetical share price based on the closing stock price on September 30, 2022. The premium of the 2023 Exchangeable Notes would have been reduced to zero with the existing hedge program. (3) During the quarter ending December 31, 2021, the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the exchange price of the 2023 Exchangeable Notes and the conversion price of the 2025 Convertible Notes for more than 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period, thereby satisfying one of the early exchange or conversion events. As a result, the 2023 Exchangeable Notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes became exchangeable or convertible on demand on January 1, 2022. In the event of conversion or exchange, the 2025 Convertible Notes and the 2023 Exchangeable Notes are convertible or exchangeable into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes and the excess conversion premium, if any, may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s election and subject to certain restrictions contained in each of the indentures governing the Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes. Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes was $2.8 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes and Exchangeable Notes was $9.2 million and $12.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility Cabot Securitisation UK Ltd (“Cabot Securitisation”), an indirect subsidiary of Encore, has a senior facility for a committed amount of £350.0 million (as amended, the “Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility”). The Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility matures in September 2026. Funds drawn under the Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SONIA plus a margin of 3.00% plus, for periods after September 18, 2024, a step-up margin ranging from zero to 1.00%. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding borrowings under the Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility were £350.0 million (approximately $391.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 to £0.90, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022). The obligations of Cabot Securitisation under the Cabot Securitisation Senior Facility are secured by first ranking security interests over all of Cabot Securitisation’s property, assets and rights (including receivables purchased from Cabot Financial UK from time to time), the book value of which was approximately £360.6 million (approximately $402.8 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 to £0.90, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022) as of September 30, 2022. The weighted average interest rate was 4.67% and 3.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 4.02% and 3.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cabot Securitisation is a securitized financing vehicle and is a VIE for consolidation purposes. Refer to “Note 8: Variable Interest Entities” for further details. |

Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb expected losses, or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s VIEs include certain securitized financing vehicles and other immaterial special purpose entities that were created to purchase receivable portfolios in certain geographies. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs which includes but is not limited to the ability to exercise discretion in the servicing of the financial assets and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. Most assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the VIE. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 25.7% and 25.0%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 22.8% and 21.7%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate were primarily due to state and foreign income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate were primarily due to the proportion of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions compared to lower tax rate jurisdictions. Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period and tax expense or benefit is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year is applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected amounts for the year. Since the Company operates in foreign countries with varying tax rates, the Company's quarterly effective tax rate is dependent on the level of income or loss from international operations in the reporting period. The Company’s subsidiary in Costa Rica is operating under a 100% tax holiday through December 31, 2026. The impact of the tax holiday in Costa Rica for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was immaterial. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in evaluating uncertain tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. There has been no material change to the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits from December 31, 2021. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Regulatory The Company is involved in disputes, legal actions, regulatory investigations, inquiries, and other actions from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company, along with others in its industry, is routinely subject to legal actions based on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), comparable state statutes, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), state and federal unfair competition statutes, and common law causes of action. The violations of law investigated or alleged in these actions often include claims that the Company lacks specified licenses to conduct its business, attempts to collect debts on which the statute of limitations has run, has made inaccurate or unsupported assertions of fact in support of its collection actions and/or has acted improperly in connection with its efforts to contact consumers. Such litigation and regulatory actions could involve potential compensatory or punitive damage claims, fines, sanctions, injunctive relief, or changes in business practices. Many continue on for some length of time and involve substantial investigation, litigation, negotiation, and other expense and effort before a result is achieved, and during the process the Company often cannot determine the substance or timing of any eventual outcome. As of September 30, 2022, there were no material developments in any of the legal proceedings disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In certain legal proceedings, the Company may have recourse to insurance or third-party contractual indemnities to cover all or portions of its litigation expenses, judgments, or settlements. The Company records loss contingencies in its financial statements only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability. The Company continuously assesses the potential liability related to its pending litigation and regulatory matters and revises its estimates when additional information becomes available. The Company’s legal costs are recorded to expense as incurred. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has no material reserves for legal matters. Purchase Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company enters into forward flow purchase agreements. A forward flow purchase agreement is a commitment to purchase receivables over a duration that is typically three to twelve months, but can be longer, generally with a specifically defined volume range, frequency, and pricing. Typically, these forward flow contracts have provisions that allow for early termination or price re-negotiation should the underlying quality of the portfolio deteriorate over time or if any particular month’s delivery is materially different than the original portfolio used to price the forward flow contract. Certain of these forward flow purchase agreements may also have termination clauses, whereby the agreements can be canceled by either party upon providing a certain specified amount of notice. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had entered into forward flow purchase agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans with an estimated minimum aggregate purchase price of approximately $551.8 million. The Company expects actual purchases under these forward flow purchase agreements to be significantly greater than the estimated minimum aggregate purchase price. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographic Information | Segment and Geographic Information The Company conducts business through several operating segments. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker relies on internal management reporting processes that provide segment revenue, segment operating income, and segment asset information in order to make financial decisions and allocate resources. The Company determined its operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, and therefore, it has one reportable segment, portfolio purchasing and recovery, based on similarities among the operating units including economic characteristics, the nature of the services, the nature of the production process, customer types for their services, the methods used to provide their services and the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has operations in the United States, Europe and other foreign countries. The following table presents the Company’s total revenues by geographic area in which the Company operates (in thousands) : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Total revenues: United States $ 210,908 $ 295,700 $ 825,826 $ 871,978 Europe United Kingdom 59,873 89,183 236,244 270,215 Other European countries (1) 36,971 24,804 102,103 102,665 Total Europe 96,844 113,987 338,347 372,880 Other geographies (1) — 2,937 178 12,338 Total $ 307,752 $ 412,624 $ 1,164,351 $ 1,257,196 ________________________ (1) None of these countries comprise greater than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets The Company’s goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and in interim periods if certain events occur that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. Determining the number of reporting units and the fair value of a reporting unit requires the Company to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The annual goodwill testing date for the reporting units that are included in the portfolio purchasing and recovery reportable segment is October 1st. There have been no events or circumstances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, that have required the Company to perform an interim assessment of goodwill carried at these reporting units. Management continues to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of the Company’s recorded goodwill and long-lived assets. Adverse changes in the Company’s actual or expected operating results, market capitalization, business climate, economic factors or other negative events that may be outside the control of management could result in a material non-cash impairment charge in the future. The Company’s goodwill is attributable to reporting units included in its portfolio purchasing and recovery segment. The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s goodwill balance (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Balance, beginning of period $ 824,210 $ 915,067 $ 897,795 $ 906,962 Effect of foreign currency translation (54,662) (19,552) (128,247) (11,447) Balance, end of period $ 769,548 $ 895,515 $ 769,548 $ 895,515 The Company’s acquired intangible assets are summarized as follows (in thousands) : As of September 30, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Customer relationships $ 55,739 $ (30,558) $ 25,181 $ 66,969 $ (31,154) $ 35,815 Developed technologies 531 (527) 4 2,549 (2,530) 19 Trade name and other 1,434 (1,142) 292 1,597 (1,111) 486 Total intangible assets $ 57,704 $ (32,227) $ 25,477 $ 71,115 $ (34,795) $ 36,320 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Financial Statement Preparation and Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company also consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, and (b) either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits. Refer to “Note 8: Variable Interest Entities” for further details. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Translation of Foreign Currencies | Translation of Foreign CurrenciesThe condensed financial statements of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using their local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates in effect during each period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the year which is the result of the income statement translation process. Intercompany transaction gains or losses at each period end arising from subsequent measurement of balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future are included as translation adjustments and recorded within other comprehensive income or loss. Translation gains or losses are the material components of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and are reclassified to earnings upon the substantial sale or liquidation of investments in foreign operations. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective | Recently Adopted Accounting GuidanceThere have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report, that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to Encore by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock-based awards, and the dilutive effect of the convertible and exchangeable senior notes, if applicable. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ( i.e., the “exit price”). The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of each level: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, including inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
Derivatives | The Company may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to interest rates and foreign currency. Certain of the Company’s derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting treatment. |
Investment in Receivable Portfolios, Net | The Company’s purchased portfolios of loans are grossed-up to their face value with an offsetting allowance and noncredit discount allocated to the individual receivables as the unit of account is at the individual loan level. Since each loan is deeply delinquent and deemed uncollectible at the individual loan level, the Company applies its charge-off policy and fully writes-off the amortized costs ( i.e. , face value net of noncredit discount) of the individual receivables immediately after purchasing the portfolio. The Company then records a negative allowance that represents the present value of all expected future recoveries for pools of receivables that share similar risk characteristics using a discounted cash flow approach, which ultimately equals the amount paid for a portfolio purchase and presented as “Investment in receivable portfolios, net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The discount rate is an effective interest rate (or “purchase EIR”) based on the purchase price of the portfolio and the expected future cash flows at the time of purchase. Receivable portfolio purchases are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics. Examples of risk characteristics include financial asset type, collateral type, size, interest rate, date of origination, term, and geographic location. The Company’s static pools are typically grouped into credit card, purchased consumer bankruptcy, and mortgage portfolios. The Company further groups these static pools by geographic location. Once a pool is established, the portfolios will remain in the designated pool unless the underlying risk characteristics change. The purchase EIR of a pool will not change over the life of the pool even if expected future cash flows change. Revenue is recognized for each static pool over the economic life of the pool. Debt purchasing revenue includes two components: (1) Revenue from receivable portfolios, which is the accretion of the discount on the negative allowance due to the passage of time (generally the portfolio balance multiplied by the EIR) and also includes all revenue from zero basis portfolio (“ZBA”) collections, and (2) Changes in recoveries, which includes (a) Recoveries above or below forecast, which is the difference between (i) actual cash collected/recovered during the current period and (ii) expected cash recoveries for the current period, which generally represents over or under performance for the period; and (b) Changes in expected future recoveries, which is the present value change of expected future recoveries, where such change generally results from (i) collections “pulled forward from” or “pushed out to” future periods (i.e. |
Variable Interest Entities | A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb expected losses, or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s VIEs include certain securitized financing vehicles and other immaterial special purpose entities that were created to purchase receivable portfolios in certain geographies. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs which includes but is not limited to the ability to exercise discretion in the servicing of the financial assets and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. Most assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the VIE. |
