Compliance
If you are a lender you can feel confident using SARS as one of your vendors. We take the necessary steps to ensure that our agency and employees meet the requirements of our industry.
The CFPB as well as other regulatory bodies have been cracking down on lenders, banks and credit unions, requiring that they know their repossession vendors. These days our clients have to know not only that they are dealing with a competent repossession agent, but that they are trained and qualified to avoid things like a breach of the peace, or a violation of the laws and regulations that govern our clients and their customers.
We maintain a regular training procedure, hold regular staff meetings and educational sessions to ensure that our entire agency is up to date with changes to the recovery industry and prepared to comply.
If you are a lender it is critical that you use an agency like SARS that trains and educates its staff on the following topics. Here are just a few of the items that available up on request.
- ID Theft Prevention Policy (Red Flag)
