September 20, 2023 – This past May, the association leaders and members united and issued a press release<\/span><\/a> addressing the critical issue of industry storage, which has placed an overwhelming burden on repossession companies. Our primary aim was to extend an invitation to clients and lenders, fostering constructive conversations on the pressing issue of free storage. Regrettably, only a limited number of clients and lenders have taken advantage of this opportunity to open a dialogue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Seeking a resolution, state leaders have collaborated and using individual metrics, were able to collectively identify some of the larger contributors to the storage crisis.\u00a0 Based on our findings we extended an invitation to Loss Prevention Services to engage in a dialogue with a select group of our state leaders. Our objective was to\u00a0prevent service interruptions by\u00a0addressing the issues affecting our industry and establish a mutually advantageous solution.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Yesterday, 14 of our State Leaders, representing their perspective states participated in a call with David Cowlbeck of Loss Prevention Services to discuss the ongoing storage crisis.\u00a0 Several points were discussed, including what are the standard storage expectations, and why agent contracts regarding storage vary so greatly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n State leaders conveyed that the storage issue has caused agents to create strategies on which clients\u2019 vehicles they recover, and in some cases, agents have stopped recovering units for clients who do not pay storage at all.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Although David did not have an immediate answer, he did agree to bring our concerns to his team to discuss further and to meet with us again in 10 days to further discuss our questions and concerns.\u00a0 We appreciate David for taking the time and meeting with this group and operating on good faith to bring our concerns back to his team to work on a mutually beneficial solution.<\/span><\/p>\n With recovery volumes on the rise nationwide, the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. The message is clear, agents are now operating at full capacity with no available space for vehicle storage.\u00a0 Without some type of standardized storage and compensation agents are being forced into making untenable choices.<\/span><\/p>\n Acknowledging that the scope of the storage crisis is broader, we intend to approach other clients of concern in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we encourage our valued lender partners to take a proactive role by initiating discussions with us. Remember this is a partnership, and together we can implement necessary changes to enhance our industry from all perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Should you wish to participate in these discussions, please reach out to us at statesrepo@gmail.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 to schedule a meeting.\u00a0 We eagerly anticipate the chance to engage with your team and collaborate towards industry-wide improvements.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alliance of Illinois – President Santino Datoli<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n California Association of Licensed Repossessors \u2013 President Marcelle Egley<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Florida Association of Licensed Repossessors – President Suzanne Chartier Burns<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Georgia Association of Licensed Repossessors – President John Newberry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Indiana Professional\u00a0Repossessors Association – President Todd Case<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Michigan Association of Repossession Agencies – President Jenny Liagre<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Minnesota Association of Repossession Professionals – President Kayihan Seran<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Nevada Association of Licensed Repossessors \u2013 President Mark Zane<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n New York Professional Repossessors Association – President Salvatore LoDico<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ohio Association of Repossessors – President Amy Bednar<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Oklahoma Association of Professional Repossessors – President\u00a0Lisa Hancock<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Pennsylvania Repossession Association – President Jeremy Cross<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Recovery Agents of the Carolinas – President Gerri Gentry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Tennessee Association of Accredited Repossessors – President Lauren Kimbrell<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Texas Accredited Repossession Professionals – President Bryanna Cox\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Out of Room – State Associations Address the Storage Crisis September 20, 2023 – This…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1253,17],"tags":[8,7,905,133,765,699,11,803,804,229,700],"class_list":["post-27682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fight-for-fair-fees","category-press-releases","tag-repo-agency","tag-repossession","tag-repossession-agency","tag-repossession-association","tag-repossession-industry","tag-repossession-storage","tag-repossessor","tag-state-association","tag-state-repossessors-association","tag-storage","tag-vehicle-storage"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27682"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27691,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27682\/revisions\/27691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Out](\"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-state-footer_9-23.jpg\")
