Default Repossession Process

Updated 2 months ago by Sloan

These are additional processes that you can add to your LMS tenant to help streamline your loan servicing. You can either set them up yourself using process wizards, or reach out to your success specialist to enlist the help of our support engineers (tech support rates may apply).

Introduction

A major function of LoanPro's Loan Management System is to make common company processes as streamlined and effective as possible. Our process wizards make processes easier for your team and improve the chances they are completed successfully. This article will cover the repossession process and how LoanPro makes it a breeze for your personnel.

Default Repossession Process

During the loan lifecycle, repossession of a collateralized item may be necessary. Most instances of repossession involve a vehicle collateralized in an automobile loan. Repossession can be a complex process, so we have created a default repossession process to make it easier to reflect the repossession of loan collateral inside of LoanPro. If repossession is deemed necessary according to company policy, the Repossession Wizards will aid you in completing a repossession on a loan account.
