Add “The Volunteer State” to the List of State Repossession Associations

We would like to introduce you to the newest and upcoming state association, Tennessee Association of Accredited Repossessors, TAAR!

Press Release

Introduction!

Unity is the best concept to make extensive strides. There are only two options: Make progress or make excuses. We are here to let you know TAAR is excited to join the other state and national associations to make progress and positive changes for our space and our industry. TAAR is diligently working to be fully formed by the end of February. Our goal will be to represent and market TAAR at NARS 2023.

WHAT MOTIVATED US?

We have witnessed AIR (The Alliance of Illinois Repossessors) achieving outstanding goals of which the most substantial is their campaign about no free storage. TAAR is backing and supporting AIR in full. Today, the word “free” does not belong in our industry. In addition, we want to applaud and thank the other newly formed state associations. Together, the associations are impacting the repossession industry like never before by holding tight, staying strong, and remaining united.

MOVING FORWARD:

Tennessee will be following AIR’s calculations and formula in determining what the daily average storage cost is in our market. To make this effort and other goals TAAR has as successful as AIR has been, we need more Tennessee agents to act now! Join the association and make your voice heard. We are currently charging no dues to members to join; we only ask for your participation and time.

QUICK GOALS:

We need to elect board members, and we need to vote on and enact our bylaws!

To follow suit, we need the agencies to take a stand and join the upcoming association NOW!!!

Please email Lauren Kimbrell with BSR, lauren@repotn.com to get involved. Lauren is fully invested to see this through and has been working hard to bring the Tennessee space together by being the team. Don’t miss being a part of the sweeping changes to our industry. Again, the goal is to have the association fully formed by the end of February and accept new member applications at NARS 2023. TAAR is counting on you to support this effort and get involved!

LONG-TERM GOALS:

Full disclosure, we all know there are too many “NEEDS” in our industry to make a list here. Effectively, TAAR wants to tackle the most pressing issues our companies and industry face and we want our members to guide us on what is important to them so that we can support them and solve these issues together.

First and foremost, TAAR believes that standing behind and supporting AIR in the no free storage campaign, enforcing fuel surcharges, and being a resource to provide education to all parties involved are priorities. Implementing compliance, providing education, and ensuring our agents are working under the highest possible safety standards, are highlights that TAAR intends to pursue.

GET INVOLVED!

In addition to introducing the upcoming Tennessee State Association, we would like to bring your attention to the already established and well-known Tennessee Tow Truck Association, TAAR. We encourage each company to be a part of TTTA as well. Tennessee Tow Truck Association (TTTA) is mainly focused on the towing industry but will overlap with what TAAR is wanting to accomplish by providing education, a standard of professionalism across the board, and lastly BETTERING the industry. TAAR intends to show TTTA the same support! To contact TTTA please email administrator@tenntowtruckassoc.com.

TAAR will differentiate from TTTA, because this association will be strictly focused on the repossession industry. We will be uniting with the current and future repossession state associations to effectively to change in the industry as a whole. The goal behind this is unity.

Thank You,

Lauren Kimbrell

President of BSR
