Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Business | Organization and Business: Throughout this report, the terms "PRA Group," "the Company," or similar terms refer to PRA Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. PRA Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, is a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas and Europe. The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. The Company provides the following fee-based services: vehicle location, skip tracing and collateral recovery for auto lenders, government entities and law enforcement; class action claims recovery services and purchases; servicing of consumer bankruptcy accounts in the U.S.; and, to a lesser extent, contingent collections of nonperforming loans in Europe and South America. As discussed in Note 11, the Company sold its revenue administration, audit and revenue discovery/recovery business in January 2017. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280 "Segment Reporting" ("ASC 280"), the Company has determined that it has several operating segments that meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, and, therefore, it has one reportable segment, accounts receivable management, based on similarities among the operating units including economic characteristics, the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the types or class of customer for their products and services, the methods used to distribute their products and services and the nature of the regulatory environment. The following table shows the amount of revenue generated for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and long-lived assets held at March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, both for the United States, the Company's country of domicile, and outside of the United States (amounts in thousands): As Of And For The As Of And For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Revenues Long-Lived Assets Revenues Long-Lived Assets United States $ 143,928 $ 29,166 $ 170,507 $ 37,316 Outside the United States 62,630 8,858 54,375 10,469 Total $ 206,558 $ 38,024 $ 224,882 $ 47,785 Revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the related operations. Long-lived assets consist of net property and equipment. The Company reports revenues earned from its debt purchasing and collection activities and its fee-based services. It is impracticable for the Company to report further breakdowns of revenues from external customers by product or service. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, however, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 , its consolidated income statements and statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , its consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . The consolidated income statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2017 may not be indicative of future results. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 (the "2016 Form 10-K"). |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Finance Receivables, net | Finance Receivables, net: Changes in finance receivables, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 2,307,969 $ 2,202,113 Acquisitions of finance receivables (1) 226,397 336,379 Foreign currency translation adjustment 17,809 16,411 Cash collections applied to principal and net allowance charges (185,295 ) (177,826 ) Balance at end of period $ 2,366,880 $ 2,377,077 (1) Acquisitions of finance receivables are net of buybacks and include certain capitalized acquisition related costs. They also include the acquisition date finance receivables portfolios that are acquired in connection with certain business acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $1.7 billion for $227.8 million . During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $3.6 billion for $336.8 million . At March 31, 2017 , the estimated remaining collections ("ERC") on the receivables purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $383.7 million and $484.3 million , respectively. At March 31, 2017 and 2016 , total ERC was $5.1 billion and $5.3 billion , respectively. At the time of acquisition, the life of each pool is estimated based on projected amounts and timing of future cash collections. Based upon current projections, cash collections expected to be applied to principal on finance receivables as of March 31, 2017 are estimated to be as follows for the twelve months in the periods ending March 31, (amounts in thousands): 2018 $ 657,272 2019 548,346 2020 424,891 2021 333,705 2022 215,134 2023 103,021 2024 38,099 2025 17,412 2026 15,290 2027 13,034 Thereafter 676 Total ERC expected to be applied to principal $ 2,366,880 At March 31, 2017 , the Company had aggregate net finance receivables balances in pools accounted for under the cost recovery method of $110.7 million ; at December 31, 2016 , the amount was $105.5 million . Accretable yield represents the amount of income recognized on finance receivables the Company can expect to generate over the remaining life of its existing portfolios based on estimated future cash flows as of the balance sheet date. Additions represent the original expected accretable yield, on portfolios purchased during the period, to be earned by the Company. Net reclassifications from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield primarily result from the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows. When applicable, net reclassifications to nonaccretable difference from accretable yield result from the decrease in the Company's estimates of future cash flows and allowance charges that together exceed the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows. Changes in accretable yield for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 2,740,006 $ 2,727,204 Income recognized on finance receivables, net (194,535 ) (206,507 ) Additions 163,395 260,249 Reclassifications from/(to) nonaccretable difference 47,078 (1,035 ) Foreign currency translation adjustment 20,502 99,839 Balance at end of period $ 2,776,446 $ 2,879,750 The following is a summary of activity within the Company's valuation allowance account, all of which relates to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Beginning balance $ 211,465 $ 114,861 Allowance charges 2,708 10,018 Reversal of previously recorded allowance charges (29 ) (120 ) Net allowance charges 2,679 9,898 Foreign currency translation adjustment 269 (171 ) Ending balance $ 214,413 $ 124,588 |

Investments | Investments: Investments consist of the following at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Available-for-sale Government bonds and mutual funds $ 3,613 $ 2,138 Held-to-maturity Securitized assets 55,978 51,407 Other investments Private equity funds 14,464 14,998 Total investments $ 74,055 $ 68,543 Available-for-Sale Government bonds and mutual funds : The Company's investments in government bonds and mutual funds are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are included in comprehensive income and reported in equity. Held-to-Maturity Investments in securitized assets : The Company holds a majority interest in a closed-end Polish investment fund. The certificates, which provide a preferred return based on the expected net income of the portfolios, are accounted for as a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets and stated at amortized cost. The Company has determined it has the ability and intent to hold these certificates until maturity, which occurs when the fund terminates or liquidates its assets. The preferred return is not a guaranteed return. Income is recognized under FASB ASC Topic 325-40, "Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets" ("ASC 325-40"). Income is recognized using the effective yield method. The Company adjusts the yield for changes in estimated cash flows prospectively through earnings. The underlying securities have both known principal repayment terms as well as unknown principal repayments due to potential borrower pre-payments. Accordingly, it is difficult to accurately predict the final maturity date of these investments. Revenues recognized on these investments are recorded in the Other Revenue line item in the income statement. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, revenues recognized on these investments were $1.4 million and $1.6 million , respectively. Other Investments Investments in private equity funds : Investments in private equity funds represent limited partnerships in which the Company has less than a 3% interest and are carried at cost. Distributions received from the partnerships are included in other revenue. Distributions received in excess of the Company's proportionate share of accumulated earnings are applied as a reduction of the cost of the investment. Distributions received from investments carried at cost were $2.9 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for sale and held-to-maturity investments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows (amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Aggregate Fair Value Available-for-sale Government bonds and mutual funds $ 3,610 $ 5 $ 2 $ 3,613 Held-to-maturity Securitized assets 55,978 4,187 — 60,165 December 31, 2016 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Aggregate Fair Value Available-for-sale Government bonds and mutual funds $ 2,161 $ — $ 23 $ 2,138 Held-to-maturity Securitized assets 51,407 4,147 — 55,554 |

North American Revolving Credit and Term Loan On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders named therein (such agreement as later amended or modified, the "North American Credit Agreement"). The total credit facility under the North American Credit Agreement includes an aggregate principal amount of $938.0 million (subject to compliance with a borrowing base and applicable debt covenants), which consists of (i) a fully-funded $140.0 million term loan, (ii) a $748 million domestic revolving credit facility, and (iii) a $50 million Canadian revolving credit facility. The facility includes an optional increase in commitments for a $125.0 million accordion feature (at the option of the lenders) and also provides for up to $20 million of letters of credit that would reduce amounts available for borrowing. The term and revolving loans accrue interest, at the option of the Company, at either the base rate or the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) for the applicable term plus 2.50% per annum in the case of the Eurodollar rate loans and 1.50% in the case of the base rate loans. The base rate is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% , (b) Bank of America's prime rate, or (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% . Of the $938.0 million total principal amount of the credit facility, $207.5 million matures on December 19, 2017, and the remainder matures on the earlier of December 21, 2020 or 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes"). As of March 31, 2017, the unused portion of the North American Credit Agreement was $155.0 million . Considering borrowing base restrictions, as of March 31, 2017, the amount available to be drawn was $127.8 million . The North American Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. The North American Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants and events of default, including the following as of March 31, 2017: • borrowings may not exceed 35% of the ERC of all eligible asset pools plus 75% of eligible accounts receivable; • the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) cannot exceed 2.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter; • cash dividends and distributions during any fiscal year cannot exceed $20 million ; • stock repurchases during any fiscal year cannot exceed $100 million plus 50% of the prior year's net income; • permitted acquisitions (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) during any fiscal year cannot exceed $250 million ; • indebtedness in the form of senior, unsecured convertible notes or other unsecured financings cannot exceed $500 million in the aggregate (without respect to the Notes); • the Company must maintain positive consolidated income from operations (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) during any fiscal quarter; and • restrictions on changes in control. The revolving credit facility also bears an unused line fee of 0.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. Information on the outstanding balances and weighted average interest rates by type of borrowing under the North American Credit Agreement as of the dates indicated (dollar amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Amount Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Amount Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Term loan $ 140,000 3.48 % $ 150,000 3.27 % Revolving facility $ 643,004 3.50 % $ 695,088 3.28 % European Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan On October 23, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with DNB Bank ASA for a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (such agreement as later amended or modified, the "European Credit Agreement"). Under the terms of the European Credit Agreement, the credit facility includes an aggregate amount of approximately $1.2 billion (subject to the borrowing base), of which approximately $300 million is a term loan, accrues interest at the Interbank Offered Rate ("IBOR") plus 2.80% - 3.90% under the revolving facility and 4.25% - 4.50% under the term loan facility (as determined by the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV Ratio") as defined in the European Credit Agreement), bears an unused line fee, currently 1.26% per annum, of 35% of the margin, payable monthly in arrears, and matures on February 19, 2021. The European Credit Agreement also includes an Overdraft Facility in the aggregate amount of $40 million (subject to the borrowing base), which accrues interest (per currency) at the daily rates as published by the facility agent, bears a facility line fee of 0.125% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and also matures February 19, 2021. As of March 31, 2017, the unused portion of the European Credit Agreement (including the Overdraft Facility) was $557.6 million . Considering borrowing base restrictions and other covenants, as of March 31, 2017, the amount available to be drawn under the European Credit Agreement (including the Overdraft Facility) was $157.9 million . The European Credit Agreement is secured by the shares of most of the Company's European subsidiaries and all intercompany loan receivables in Europe. The European Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants and events of default including the following: • the LTV Ratio (as defined in the European Credit Agreement) cannot exceed 75% ; • the GIBD Ratio (as defined in the European Credit Agreement) in Europe cannot exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter until March 31, 2017 and 3.25 :1.0 thereafter; • interest bearing deposits in AK Nordic AB cannot exceed SEK 1,500,000,000 ; • PRA Europe's cash collections must exceed 95% of Europe's ERC for the same set of portfolios, measured on a quarterly basis. Information on the outstanding balances and weighted average interest rates by type of borrowing under the European Credit Agreement as the dates indicated (dollar amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Amount Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Amount Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Term loan $ 285,199 4.25 % $ 280,764 4.25 % Revolving facility $ 382,359 3.99 % $ 401,780 4.06 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 On August 13, 2013, the Company completed the private offering of $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.00% Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated August 13, 2013 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the Notes may be due and payable immediately. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2014. Prior to February 1, 2020, the Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events. On or after February 1, 2020, the Notes will be convertible at any time. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Notes prior to maturity. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert their Notes had occurred. The conversion rate for the Notes is initially 15.2172 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $65.72 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances pursuant to the Indenture. Upon conversion, holders of the Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election. The Company's current intent is to settle conversions through combination settlement (i.e ., the Notes would be converted into cash up to the aggregate principal amount, and shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the remainder). As a result and in accordance with authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging and earnings per share, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $65.72 . The Company determined that the fair value of the Notes at the date of issuance was approximately $255.3 million , and designated the residual value of approximately $32.2 million as the equity component. Additionally, the Company allocated approximately $7.3 million of the $8.2 million original Notes issuance cost as debt issuance cost and the remaining $0.9 million as equity issuance cost. The balances of the liability and equity components of the Notes outstanding were as follows as of the dates indicated (amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Liability component - principal amount $ 287,500 $ 287,500 Unamortized debt discount (16,775 ) (17,930 ) Liability component - net carrying amount $ 270,725 $ 269,570 Equity component $ 31,306 $ 31,306 The debt discount is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes using the effective interest rate, which is 4.92% . Interest expense related to the Notes was as follows for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Interest expense - stated coupon rate $ 2,156 $ 2,156 Interest expense - amortization of debt discount 1,155 1,100 Total interest expense - convertible senior notes $ 3,311 $ 3,256 |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill And Intangible Assets, Net | Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net: In connection with the Company's business acquisitions, the Company acquired certain tangible and intangible assets. Intangible assets resulting from these acquisitions include client and customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks and technology. The Company performs an annual review of goodwill on October 1 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The following table represents the changes in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period: Goodwill $ 506,308 $ 501,553 Accumulated impairment loss (6,397 ) (6,397 ) 499,911 495,156 Changes: Acquisitions — 4,742 Foreign currency translation adjustment 6,329 24,972 Net change in goodwill 6,329 29,714 Goodwill 512,637 531,267 Accumulated impairment loss (6,397 ) (6,397 ) Balance at end of period: $ 506,240 $ 524,870 The $4.7 million addition to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Recovery Management Systems Corporation ("RMSC") in addition to a purchase price adjustment from a previous acquisition. The goodwill recognized from the RMSC acquisition is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to the provision for income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For tax purposes, the Company utilizes the cost recovery method of accounting. Under the cost recovery method, collections on finance receivables are applied first to principal to reduce the finance receivables to zero before taxable income is recognized. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examined the Company's 2005 through 2012 tax returns and has asserted that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method does not clearly reflect taxable income. The Company believes it has sufficient support for the technical merits of its position, and believes cost recovery to be an acceptable tax revenue recognition method for the Company's industry. The Company has received Notices of Deficiency for tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. The proposed deficiencies relate to the cost recovery method of tax accounting. In response to the notices, the Company filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court (the "Tax Court") challenging the deficiencies. On July 10, 2015 and July 21, 2015, the IRS filed Motions for Summary Judgment for tax years 2008 through 2012 and 2005 through 2007, respectively. On November 12, 2015 the Tax Court denied the IRS's Motions for Summary Judgment and set this matter for trial to begin on September 19, 2016. On July 5, 2016, the Tax Court granted the IRS’s Motion for Continuance filed on June 28, 2016. On July 14, 2016, the Tax Court set the trial to begin on May 15, 2017. If the Company is unsuccessful in the Tax Court and any potential appeals, it may be required to pay the related deferred taxes, and possibly interest and penalties. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, deferred tax liabilities related to this matter were $241.9 million and $239.3 million , respectively. Any adverse determination on this matter could result in the Company amending state tax returns for prior years, increasing its taxable income in those states. The Company files tax returns in multiple state jurisdictions; therefore, any underpayment of state tax will accrue interest in accordance with the respective state statute. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company's estimate of the potential federal and state interest was $117.6 million and $112.0 million , respectively. ASC 740 requires the recognition of interest if the tax law would require interest to be paid on the underpayment of taxes, and recognition of penalties if a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid payment of penalties. The Company believes it has sufficient support for the technical merits of its position and that it is more likely than not this position will be sustained. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued for interest or penalties on any of its tax positions, including the cost recovery matter. At March 31, 2017 , the tax years subject to examination by the major federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions are 2003, 2005 and subsequent years. The 2003 tax year remains open to examination because of a net operating loss that originated in that year but was not fully utilized until the 2005 tax year. The examination periods for the 2005 through 2012 tax years are suspended until a decision of the Tax Court becomes final. The Company intends to permanently reinvest predominantly all foreign earnings in its foreign operations. If foreign earnings were repatriated, the Company would need to accrue and pay taxes, although foreign tax credits may be available to partially reduce U.S. income taxes. The amount of cash on hand related to foreign operations with permanently reinvested earnings was $69.6 million and $73.6 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. |
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share | 3 Months Ended |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of PRA Group, Inc. by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed using the same components as basic EPS with the denominator adjusted for the dilutive effect of the Notes and nonvested share awards, if dilutive. For the Notes, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $65.72 , which did not occur during the period from which the Notes were issued on August 13, 2013 through March 31, 2017 . Share-based awards that are contingent upon the attainment of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of nonvested shares is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the vesting of nonvested shares would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The assumed proceeds include the tax benefit that would be realized upon assumed exercise. The following table provides a reconciliation between the computation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. Weighted EPS Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. Weighted EPS Basic EPS $ 48,167 46,406 $ 1.04 $ 31,983 46,243 $ 0.69 Dilutive effect of nonvested share awards 221 (0.01 ) 129 — Diluted EPS $ 48,167 46,627 $ 1.03 $ 31,983 46,372 $ 0.69 There were no antidilutive options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies: Employment Agreements: The Company has entered into employment agreements, most of which expire on December 31, 2017 , with all of its U.S. executive officers and with several members of its U.S. senior management group. Such agreements provide for base salary payments as well as bonuses that are based on the attainment of specific management goals. At March 31, 2017 , estimated future compensation under these agreements is approximately $8.0 million . The agreements also contain confidentiality and non-compete provisions. Outside the United States, employment agreements are in place with employees pursuant to local country regulations. Generally, these agreements do not have expiration dates and therefore it is impractical to estimate the amount of future compensation under these agreements. Accordingly, the future compensation under these agreements is not included in the $8.0 million total above. Leases: The Company is party to various operating leases with respect to its facilities and equipment. The future minimum lease payments at March 31, 2017 total approximately $44.3 million . Forward Flow Agreements: The Company is party to several forward flow agreements that allow for the purchase of nonperforming loans at pre-established prices. The maximum remaining amount to be purchased under forward flow agreements at March 31, 2017 is approximately $437.7 million . Finance Receivables: Certain agreements for the purchase of finance receivables portfolios contain provisions that may, in limited circumstances, require the Company to refund a portion or all of the collections subsequently received by the Company on particular accounts. The potential refunds as of the balance sheet date are not considered to be significant. Litigation and Regulatory Matters: The Company is from time to time subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company initiates lawsuits against customers and is occasionally countersued by them in such actions. Also, customers, either individually, as members of a class action, or through a governmental entity on behalf of customers, may initiate litigation against the Company in which they allege that the Company has violated a state or federal law in the process of collecting on an account. From time to time, other types of lawsuits are brought against the Company. Additionally, the Company receives subpoenas and other requests or demands for information from regulators or governmental authorities who are investigating the Company's debt collection activities. The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account the Company's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the number of unresolved issues in many of the proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings. In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter's current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more than the current estimate. The Company believes that the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued for its legal proceedings outstanding at March 31, 2017, excluding the potential interest associated with the IRS matter described below, is not material. 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. Loss estimates and accruals for potential liability related to legal proceedings are typically exclusive of potential recoveries, if any, under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities. The Company has not recorded any potential recoveries under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities as of March 31, 2017. The matters described below fall outside of the normal parameters of the Company's routine legal proceedings. Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation As previously reported in the 2016 Form 10-K, the Company was named as defendant in a number of putative class action cases, each alleging that the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") by calling consumers' cellular telephones without their prior express consent. In January 2016, the parties reached a settlement agreement in principle ("the Settlement Agreement") under which the parties agreed to seek court approval of class certification and the proposed settlement. As required by the Settlement Agreement, which received final court approval in December 2016, the Company paid $18 million in the second quarter of 2016 to resolve the matter. Internal Revenue Service Audit The IRS examined the Company's 2005 through 2012 tax returns and has asserted that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method does not clearly reflect taxable income. The Company believes it has sufficient support for the technical merits of its position, and believes cost recovery to be an acceptable tax revenue recognition method for the Company's industry. The Company has received Notices of Deficiency for tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. The proposed deficiencies relate to the cost recovery method of tax accounting for finance receivables. In response to the notices, the Company filed petitions in the Tax Court challenging the deficiencies. On July 10, 2015 and July 21, 2015, the IRS filed Motions for Summary Judgment for tax years 2008 through 2012 and 2005 through 2007, respectively. On November 12, 2015, the Tax Court denied the IRS's Motions for Summary Judgment and set this matter for trial to begin on September 19, 2016. On July 5, 2016, the Tax Court granted the IRS’s Motion for Continuance filed on June 28, 2016. On July 14, 2016, the Tax Court set the trial to begin on May 15, 2017. If the Company is unsuccessful in the Tax Court and any potential appeals, it may ultimately be required to pay the related deferred taxes, and possibly interest and penalties. Deferred tax liabilities related to this matter were $241.9 million at March 31, 2017 . Any adverse determination on this matter could result in the Company amending state tax returns for prior years, increasing its taxable income in those states. The Company files tax returns in multiple state jurisdictions; therefore, any underpayment of state tax will accrue interest in accordance with the respective state statute. The Company's estimate of the potential federal and state interest is $117.6 million as of March 31, 2017 , which has not been accrued. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC v. Guadalupe Mejia As previously reported in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K, the Company reached a settlement in principle in February 2017 to resolve this matter. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had fully accrued for the settlement amount, which it paid in April 2017. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements And Disclosures | Fair Value: As defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values. Those levels of input are summarized as follows: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried at Fair Value In accordance with the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"), the table below summarizes fair value estimates for the Company's financial instruments 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 of the financial instruments in the following table are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands): March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 82,110 $ 82,110 $ 94,287 $ 94,287 Held-to-maturity investments 55,978 60,165 51,407 55,554 Other investments 14,464 11,557 14,998 12,573 Finance receivables, net 2,366,880 2,764,081 2,307,969 2,708,582 Financial liabilities: Interest-bearing deposits 78,792 78,792 76,113 76,113 Revolving lines of credit 1,025,363 1,025,363 1,096,868 1,096,868 Term loans 425,199 425,199 430,764 430,764 Convertible senior notes 270,725 261,421 269,570 270,825 Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. The carrying amount and estimates of the fair value of the Company's debt obligations outlined above do not include any related debt issuance costs associated with the debt obligations. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments in the above table: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and quoted prices for identical assets can be found in active markets. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. Held-to-maturity investments: Fair value of the Company's investment in Series B certificates of a closed-end Polish investment fund is estimated using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio purchase decisions. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of its held-to-maturity investments using Level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates. Other investments: This class of investments consists of private equity funds that invest primarily in loans and securities including single-family residential debt; corporate debt products; and financially-oriented, real-estate-rich and other operating companies in the Americas, Western Europe, and Japan. These investments are subject to certain restrictions regarding transfers and withdrawals. The investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. The fair value of the Company's interest is valued by the fund managers; accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of these investments using Level 3 inputs. The investments are expected to be returned through distributions as a result of liquidations of the funds' underlying assets over 1 to 4 years. Finance receivables, net: The Company records purchased receivables at cost, which represents a significant discount from the contractual receivable balances due. The Company computed the estimated fair value of these receivables using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio purchase decisions. Accordingly, the Company's fair value estimates use Level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates. Interest-bearing deposits: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Revolving lines of credit: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Term loans: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Convertible notes: The Notes are carried at historical cost, adjusted for the debt discount. The fair value estimates for these Notes incorporates quoted market prices which were obtained from secondary market broker quotes which were derived from a variety of inputs including client orders, information from their pricing vendors, modeling software, and actual trading prices when they occur. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Financial Instruments Required To Be Carried At Fair Value The carrying amounts in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands): Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Available-for-sale investments $ 3,613 $ — $ — $ 3,613 Liabilities: Interest rate swap contracts (recorded in accrued expenses) — 3,021 — 3,021 Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Available-for-sale investments $ 2,138 $ — $ 2,138 Liabilities: Interest rate swap contracts (recorded in accrued expenses) — 2,825 — 2,825 Available-for-sale investments: Fair value of the Company's investment in government bonds and mutual funds is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs. Interest rate swap contracts: The interest rate swap contracts are carried at fair value which is determined by 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 and other factors. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") that updates the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. The Company believes that the revenue it classifies as Fee Income is within the scope of this standard. The Company's fee income consists of revenue generated by its Claims Compensation Bureau, LLC ("CCB"), PRA Location Services, LLC ("PLS"), and PRA Government Services, LLC ("PGS") subsidiaries. Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company does not believe the new standard will impact the accounting for its CCB and PLS revenue. The Company sold its PGS business in January 2017. In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"), which provides new guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842) Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Account Standards Codification" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company currently discloses approximately $44.3 million in operating lease obligations in its contractual obligations table in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report and will evaluate those contracts as well as other existing arrangements to determine if they qualify for lease accounting under the new standard. The Company does not plan to adopt the standard early. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) , Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments" ("ASU 2016-06"). Topic 815 requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met, including the "clearly and closely related" criterion. ASU 2016-06 clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-06 in the first quarter of 2017 which had no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The guidance eliminates additional paid in capital ("APIC") pools and requires companies to recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also addresses the presentation of excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. Further, the new guidance eliminates the requirement to estimate forfeitures during the vesting period. Instead, companies can elect to account for actual forfeitures as they occur and record any previously unrecognized compensation expense for estimated forfeitures up to the period of adoption as a retrospective adjustment to beginning retained earnings. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017, which increased its provision for income taxes by $1.0 million as a result of the recognition of all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in its income statement. The ASU requires that excess tax benefits be presented as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, so with its prospective adoption, prior periods have not been restated. The Company also elected to use an estimated forfeiture rate, based on historical data, to record its share-based compensation expense, which is consistent with its previous accounting treatment with respect to forfeitures. None of the other provisions of the ASU had a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and allows for early adoption as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU supersedes ASC Topic 310-30, which the Company currently follows to account for revenue on its finance receivables. This ASU could have a significant impact on how the Company measures and records revenue on its finance receivables. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230)" ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 reduces diversity in practice of how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance clarifies the classification of cash activity related to debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity-method investments, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The guidance also describes a predominance principle in which cash flows with aspects of more than one class that cannot be separated should be classified based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but requires all elements of the amendments to be adopted at once rather than individually. The new standard must be adopted using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method which is a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU-2017-01, "Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)" ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new guidance is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as businesses. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain types of transactions. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |
