MSSP Independent Used Car Dealer Audit Guide Overview • “The use of Related Finance Companies (RFC’s) is a common practice in the Used Car Industry. Such companies serve many valid business purposes and were utilized before any tax advantages were developed.”
Subprime Analytics Ten FatalBHPH MistakesYou Must AvoidTo Be Successful! Based upon analysis of over $8 billion in BHPH loans by:
Subprime Analytics Mistake 1: • Not determining that your installment contracts and documents are compliant with all the applicable laws and regulations. (Making legal and regulatory mistakes can bring you down!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 2: • Improper deal structure: not properly matching the customer, the vehicle, and the deal structure when granting credit. • (Selling a customer the vehicle they want instead of the one • they can afford!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 3: • Not running a credit bureau report prior when granting credit. (Initially saving a few dollars ends up costing you millions!)
Subprime Analytics Losses Based onCredit Bureau Scores… • Unscored 45.3% • 400 – 545 32.3% • 545 – 600 29.5% • 600 – 645 23.0% • 645 + 16.8% Default Rate *Opportunity, or mistake?? Average Loan Default Rate 28.4%! Source: Subprime Analytics
Subprime Analytics Mistake 4: • Emphasizing sales growth • over good underwriting. (Growing too fast • can be fatal!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 5: • Not independently (separate from the sales function) verifying stipulations or customer applicant information. (There is an inherent conflict of interests between sales and good underwriting practices!)
Subprime Analytics Customer Age… Years Default Rate • 16 – 25 30.4% • 25 - 30 29.8% • 30 - 55 25.2% • Over 55 17.3% Over-65 Population Expected To Double By 2030!
Subprime Analytics Our Conclusions… • Analysis of customer info is needed to effectively manage portfolio risk! • Verification of income, debt and expenses is critical to good underwriting. • Using technology is the only efficient way to gather and analyze customer information. • The more you learn about your customers, the more you will earn!

Subprime Analytics Mistake 7: • Modifying or extending the term of the loan in order to meet the customer’s payment requirements. (In BHPH, time is your enemy!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 8: • Letting a large down payment (like a tax refund) make the deal instead of making the deal better! (Confusing down payment with repayment!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 9: • Not properly managing portfolio risk by adapting to changes in economic conditions. (Dealer education, reading and networking are your best defenses here!)
Subprime Analytics Mistake 10: • Not monitoring or using credit scoring or deal stipulations to make underwriting decisions more consistently. • (Frequent changes in underwriting policies and practices can be very costly!
