Compliance is an important issue for dealers, says Melinda Zabritski, director-Automotive Credit at Experian Automotive, based in Costa Mesa, CA.
“As new regulations and compliance issues arise, dealers must always maintain a proactive compliance strategy to not only meet regulations, but to help ensure they are making safe business decisions.
She offers these five tips for dealers trying to get their shops in order:
Act quickly to ensure effective compliance practices are in place.
Assess current data on hand to determine whether it already addresses compliance issues.
Seek out the necessary tools and resources to help fill in the gaps.
When using a credit report, make sure to take advantage of all the information in the report. This means looking beyond the credit score and making sure the header information looks accurate and key pieces of information such as social security numbers and addresses match up.
In addition to credit reports and Fraud Shield, dealers should explore best in class consumer authentication tools such as Experian's Precise ID which leverages credit and non-credit data sources, decisioning and analytics.
Experian's software tools for compliance practices include:
