Using Lpr Data Early In Asset Recovery Can Boost Balance Sheets And Reduce Charge-offs

Fort Worth, Texas — February 25, 2013, Digital Recognition Network (http://www.drndata.com), the leader in LPR data and collections and recovery solutions wants lenders to recover assets more efficiently by getting the data they need to find assets earlier in the process.

“Typically a lender spends 180 days using different recovery agents in addition to skip tracing to look for a car before they turn to us and our collections and recovery solutions, said Chris Metaxas, CEO of DRN. “Lenders don’t want do collections and recovery; they want to reach a resolution with people. By turning to LPR data sooner, DRN can provide as much as a 10% lift in the value of an asset and reduce collections.”

To date, DRN has located and recovered more than 100,000 vehicles, with $700 million in assets located and returned to lenders. With more than 1 billion LPR data scans in its database, lenders get the benefit of being everywhere all the time when it comes to looking for assets. “We call it the network effect,” said Metaxas. “It allows lenders to reduce operating expenses and asset risk while boosting the balance sheet and lowering charge-offs from collections and recovery.”

DRN’s national network continues to grow and new LPR data scans are added to the database at the rate of 50,000 per month. In all, 70% of the top 100 lenders use DRN LPR data services.

“We know that 41% of all successful collection and recovery for repossessions occur in the first 15 days,” Metaxas said. “We give lenders a viable alternative to recover additional vehicles quickly while getting the lift they’re looking for.”
