CAPITAL GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES THAT ITS SAN DIEGO OFFICE IS<BR> OPEN AFTER A ONE-DAY CLOSURE DUE
TO WILDFIRES</B> </FONT></h1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>San Diego, California, <B>October 28,
2003</B> &#150; Encore Capital Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ECPG) announced today that its San
Diego facility is open and operating normally after a one-day closure due to the wildfires
in the San Diego area. Encore suffered a limited amount of fire related property damage
when part of the automatic sprinkler system discharged in a section of the building.
During Monday&#146;s shut-down, a portion of the San Diego volume was shifted to the
company&#146;s Phoenix facility which was not impacted by the wildfires. Throughout the
entire process, no data or information was lost or damaged due to Encore&#146;s Emergency
Preparedness Plan. The company expects that any uninsured loss will be minimal. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>According to Carl C. Gregory, III,
president &amp; CEO, &#147;The events of Monday demonstrated the soundness of our
Emergency Preparedness Plan and the resiliency of our people. Our Emergency Response Team
performed magnificently &amp; all computer and communication equipment performed as
designed. As a result, we were able to promptly reopen the San Diego facility for business
Tuesday.&#148; </FONT></P>
