Automotive Finance Collections

over 100 years of experience

Comprehensive Automotive Industry Finance Collections Solutions

As an automobile lender, you face instances where the customer has failed to pay their loan according to its terms. In some cases, the vehicle needs to be repossessed and auctioned off for sale. When the vehicle sells, it almost always leaves a significant amount of money due on the loan after applying the sale proceeds. 

This deficiency balance is owed by the customer, and it’s not a very easy task to get someone to pay for a vehicle they no longer have or will be able to get back. Repossession and storage fees are also added to the amount owed, so the amount of money the customer owes can be several thousand dollars. It’s imperative that situations like this are acted upon quickly. The longer a deficiency balance remains unpaid, the less likely it will ever pay.
