Q

Explain the 6-steps in the conversion process

A
  1. After $50 down, or ceased contact with customer you need to pursue alternative means
    - Call reference, work or insurance
    - Drive by; multiple and various
    - Check prior contracts for additional numbers
  2. Do 2 drive-by’s first thing in the morning and in the evening after 5
  3. Email a completed conversion work sheet to the area manager and James Wallace
  4. Risk manager will send the Branch a skip trace and demand letter; Branch should work through skip trace to contact renter
  5. Once 72 hours has passed, the RM, with RVP approval, will seek to report the vehicle on the hot sheet. The Branch May close the contact at this time; always consult the RM on the exact date to close.
  6. After 30 days, the vehicle is written off to account 557 as an uninsured loss. Enterprise uses UDW (undamaged wholesale) to determine the write-off amount
