AUTOMOBILE LOAN PROTECTION

Automobile Loan Protection is a risk management program that enables lenders to increase loan volume and finance income on direct and indirect loans. Additionally, Loan Protection improves loan yield and profitability by significantly reducing losses on repossessed vehicles.

Loan Protection purchases repossessed vehicles based on guaranteed vehicle values less collision damage, mechanical defects, or excess mileage. Purchase offers are consistently higher than auctions or re-marketers. To further reduce deficiency loan balances, the program provides principal balance reduction payments to a maximum of $5,000.

• Lenders recover 90% to 100% of the Loan Protection fee on direct loans by increasing the interest rate 1.5%.

• Lenders recover 100% of Loan Protection fee on indirect loans by short funding the dealer.

Banks complete Interim Order form at LOC's website on loans selected for Loan Protection. Website provides a monthly billing and an archived billing.

Comma delineated file may be emailed rather than completing Interim Order form at LOC's website. A monthly billing is e-mailed to the bank.

• Banks complete Notification form and Option Call form at LOC’s website. Forms provide vehicle location and loan information.

• LOC assigns a condition report on the repossessed vehicle and completes a purchase offer for the vehicle. The principal reduction payment is also completed at LOC’s website.

If LOC’s offer for the repossessed vehicle is accepted, LOC emails a bank draft envelope with instructions to transfer title to LOC. The bank receives an official bank check as payment for the vehicle and the principal balance reduction payment. The entire process should be completed within three to four weeks.

If LOC’s offer for the repossessed vehicle is rejected because a higher offer is received, LOC will calculate the principal balance reduction payment using the higher offer.
