red flag rules at a glance

Red Flags Rule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Red Flag Act
 This article uses first-person (“I”; “we”) or second-person (“you”) inappropriately. Please rewrite it to use a more formal, encyclopedic tone. (September 2011)

The Red Flags Rule was created by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with other government agencies such as the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), to help preventidentity theft. The rule was passed in January 2008, and was to be in place by November 1, 2008. But due to push-backs by opposition, the FTC has delayed enforcement (five times); the current deadline is December 31, 2010.[1][dated info]

How the Red Flags Rule was Created

The Red Flags Rule was based on section 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003.[2] FACTA was put in place to help Identity Theft Prevention and Credit History Restoration, Improvements in Use of and Consumer Access to Credit Information, Enhancing the Accuracy of Consumer Report Information, Limiting the Use and Sharing of Medical Information in the Financial System, Financial Literacy and Education Improvement, Protecting Employee Misconduct Investigations, and Relation to State Laws.[3]

Who This Rule Applies To

There are two different groups that this rule applies to: Financial Institutions and Creditors.[4] Financial institution is defined as a state or national bank, a state or federal savings and loan association, a mutual savings bank, a state or federal credit union, or any other entity that holds a “transaction account” belonging to a consumer.[5] FACTA’s definition of “creditor” applies to any entity that regularly extends or renews credit – or arranges for others to do so – and includes all entities that regularly permit deferred payments for goods or services [6]

Just because you don’t think you are a creditor, does not mean that the rule doesn’t apply. For example, law firms and accounting firms that receive payment after a service is completed are considered creditors. Another example is if you are a utility company. You provide the utilities and receive payment for your services rendered at the end of the month, rendering you a creditor.

There are many different companies that this rule applies to: this list includes, but is not limited to finance companies, automobile dealers, mortgage brokers, utility companies, telecommunications companies, medical practices, hospitals, and law firms; or any other company that performs a service, then receives payment once the work is complete.

What the Red Flags Rule States

The Red Flags Rule sets out how certain businesses and organizations must develop, implement, and administer their Identity Theft Prevention Programs. Your Program must include four basic elements, which together create a framework to address the threat of identity theft.[7][8]

The four basic elements to the program are:

1) Identify Relevant Red Flags

  • Identify the red flags of identity theft you’re likely to come across in your business

2) Detect Red Flags

  • Set up procedures to detect those red flags in your day-to-day operations

3) Prevent and Mitigate Identity Theft

  • If you spot the red flags you’ve identified, respond appropriately to prevent and mitigate the harm done

4) Update your Program

  • The risks of identity theft can change rapidly, so it’s important to keep your Program current and educate your staff

The Red Flags Rules provide all financial institutions and creditors the opportunity to design and implement a program that is appropriate to their size and complexity, as well as the nature of their operations.[5]

The red flags fall into five categories:

  • alerts, notifications, or warnings from a consumer reporting agency[5]
  • suspicious documents[5]
  • suspicious kk identifying information, such as a suspicious address[5]
  • unusual use of – or suspicious activity relating to – a covered account[5]
  • notices from customers, victims of identity theft, law enforcement authorities, or other businesses about possible identity theft in connection with covered accounts[5]

Ways that a business can comply

The FTC has a created a template for your business that can be populated to meet your companies needs. The template can be found on the FTC website. This template however is for small, very low risk businesses. There are also a number of other companies that will create a Program for your business to follow for a fee.

The Red Flag Rule as a cause of Identity Theft

As the Red Flag rule widely defines creditors, many businesses (such as utilities)[9] }are not required to collect personal information (such as SSN and Driver’s License Numbers) that they do not need and have no use for. This policy is precisely contrary to the FTC’s advice to consumers that they should disclose their social security number to others only when absolutely necessary.[10] This aspect of the Red Flag rule has the unintended consequences of increasing the number of business that hold consumers’ Social Security numbers thereby putting consumers at greater risk for identity theft through data theft.

car dealer financing lingo

Published on May 15, 2012 by Rebecca No comments

http://www.autofinancing101.org/resources/glossary.cfm

+++++

Glossary of Definitions

Amount Financed
The dollar amount of the credit that is provided to the buyer.

Agreed-Upon Selling Price
The dollar amount the buyer agrees to pay the dealer for the vehicle.

Amount Financed
The dollar amount of the credit that is provided to the buyer.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
The cost of credit for one year expressed as a percentage.

Assignee
The bank, finance company, credit union, or other financial institution that purchases the finance contract from a dealer.

Bank or Credit Union Financing
(also Off-Site Financing)
The financing a buyer gets from his or her bank, credit union, or other financial institution to pay for a new or used auto.

Budget
A tool commonly used to measure expenses against income, to help people prioritize their spending and manage their money.

Buy Rate
The wholesale rate offered to a dealership at which the “assignee” (finance company, bank or credit union) will purchase the contract.

Co-Buyer
An individual who assumes equal responsibility for the contract. The account history will be reflected on the co-buyer’s credit history as well as the buyer’s. For this reason, consumers should exercise caution if asked to be a co-buyer for someone else. Since some co- buyers are eventually asked to repay the obligation, individuals need to be sure that they can afford to do so before agreeing to be a co-buyer.

Collateral
An asset pledged to the creditor until the financing is paid off. For example: If you own your home, it may be used as collateral to secure automobile financing.

Credit Application
The information that a buyer submits when applying for credit. It typically requires such items as name, Social Security number, date of birth, current and previous addresses and length of stay, current and previous employers and length of employment, occupation, sources of income, total gross monthly income, and financial information on existing credit accounts. This can be done in person, over the phone, or electronically via the Internet.

Credit Insurance
There are two common types of credit insurance. Credit life insurance is optional insurance that pays the scheduled unpaid balance if the buyer dies. Credit disability insurance (sometimes called credit accident and health insurance) is optional insurance that pays the scheduled monthly payments if the buyer becomes disabled. As with most contract terms, the cost of optional credit insurance must be disclosed in writing, and if the buyer wants it, the buyer must agree to it and sign for it.

Credit Report
A report containing information about the buyer’s current and past credit obligations, payment record, and data from public records (e.g., a bankruptcy filing obtained from court documents). For each account, the credit report shows the applicant’s account number, type and terms of the account, credit limit, most recent balance, and most recent payment. The comments section describes the current status of the applicant’s account, including the creditor’s summary of past-due information and any legal steps that may have been taken to collect.

Credit Reporting Agency
A firm that collects, sorts, maintains, and sells information about an individual’s credit history.

Credit Score
A numerical score that reflects the credit risk you present based on information contained in your credit file. The better your history of credit, the higher your score.

Creditor
A person or organization that regularly extends credit, subject to a finance charge.

Creditworthiness
The ability of a consumer to satisfy a credit obligation.

Dealer Financing
(also On-Site Financing)
Financing that a consumer obtains from the dealership rather than directly from a bank, credit union, or other financial institution to buy a new or used auto. The consumer enters into a contract with the dealership agreeing to pay the amount financed, at an agreed-upon finance rate, over a specified period of time.

Dealer Finance Income
A portion of the finance charge that is paid to or retained by the dealer as compensation for the dealer’s participation in providing financing to the buyer.

Delinquent Accounts
Credit accounts that are past due. They usually are classified as 30, 60, 90 and 120 days past due.

Depreciation
The amount by which a vehicle is expected to decrease in value over a specific period of time.

Down Payment
An amount paid at time of purchase that reduces the amount financed. This includes any combination of cash, trade-in value of a previously-owned vehicle, rebates, and other non-cash credits.

Extended Service Contract
Optional protection on specified mechanical and electrical components of the vehicle. It is available for purchase to extend and/or supplement the warranty coverage provided when purchasing or leasing a new, or in some cases, a used vehicle.

Finance Charge
The dollar amount that the credit will cost the buyer.

Fixed Rate Financing
An annual percentage rate that remains the same over the life of the finance contract.

Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP)
Optional protection that pays the difference between the amount the buyer owes on the auto and the amount the buyer receives from his insurance company if the auto is stolen or destroyed before the buyer has satisfied the credit obligation. In some cases, the buyer may be responsible for the insurance deductible.

Installment Sale
A contract with a dealership to buy a vehicle by paying the amount financed, plus an agreed upon finance charge, over a certain period of time in installments, which are typically monthly payments.

Length of Contract
The total number of months the borrower has to pay his or her credit obligation.

Lien
A legal claim on ownership of the vehicle stemming from a debt. If the buyer does not make the payments, the lienholder can repossess and sell the vehicle as full or partial payment of the debt.

Off-Site Financing
(also Bank or Credit Union Financing) The financing a buyer gets a from his or her bank, credit union or other financial institution to pay for a new or used auto.

On-Site Financing
(also Dealer Financing)
Financing that a consumer obtains from the dealership rather than directly from a bank, credit union, or other financial institution to buy a new or used auto The consumer enters into a contract with the dealership agreeing to pay the amount financed, at an agreed-upon finance rate, over a specified period of time.

Repossession
In the event that a credit obligation is not satisfied, the legal right a creditor has to take the asset pledged as collateral (typically the automobile) and sell it to pay off the credit obligation. Depending on state laws, this process is typically subject to rights to redeem (pay off the entire balance and get your vehicle back) or reinstate (pay any delinquent payments and get your vehicle back to start the contract again).

Secured Credit
Financing for which some form of acceptable collateral, such as a house or automobile, has been pledged.

Trade-in Allowance: The amount the dealer agrees to pay for a trade-in vehicle, which consumers often apply towards the purchase of a new vehicle.

Unsecured Credit
Credit for which no collateral has been pledged.

Variable Rate Financing 
With a variable financing rate, the annual percentage range may change over the life of the contract.

5 helpful tips for getting your DMV wholesale car dealer license

Published on May 13, 2012 by Rebecca No comments
gotplates star
  1. Sign up for our 6 hour Car Dealer Pre-Licensing Class. Follow the steps that you are taught, and then get approved by the California DMV as a wholesale dealer.
  2. Utilize the Web. Did you know that most wholesale dealers search the internet prior to purchasing a vehicle? A good wholesaler will recognize a low priced car at auction buy it and resell it a week later at the same auction.
  3. Keep in mind that delivery of the vehicle to the buyer must occur at the sellers licensed location. Some wholesalers will buy seasoned stock ( vehicles which are front line ready on a retailers lot but approaching 60 days in inventory ) and swap them out for vehicles freshly obtained. This allows the used car sales manager to restart the clock on that seasoned stock. These deals are often done book for book, the wholesaler ends up with added value. In a front line ready car the wholesaler can sell to another dealer, but it will often take a series of these book for book trades before you can actually see profits. Many small used car lots do not have the time to go to auction. A good wholesaler can stock these smaller lots and make a small profit on each car.
  4. Don’t ever consign a vehicle to another dealer. The wholesale license is a good starting place for the beginner; lesser bond, easier zoning and access to the market. Dealer plates and insurance are included in the wholesale package but as a wholesaler one can only buy and sell within the industry. That means as a wholesaler you can sell only to other dealers, there is no buying off the street. If and when a wholesaler has a vehicle to sell to the public he/she may draft that sale through a licensed retailer, this is call this a drafted sale.
  5. Remember the drafted sale creates liability for the retailer. Typical draft fee is $ 500. We advise the following: no loss selling ( wholesaler must sell higher than acquisition cost ), smog safety and verification provided by wholesaler, wholesaler as contact person on the buyers guide, statement from wholesaler assuming all liability if customer is not happy. Then the retailer collects and pays all taxes and fees, and sends the documents to DMV for processing.

Tips

  • Wholesale Dealers cannot sell to the Public (only to other Car Dealers).
  • Wholesale Car Dealers have a lower bond requirement and spend less on insurance.
  • When selling to the public you must use a Drafted Sale.
  • Wholesale dealers provide a much needed asset to the retail car market. Wholesalers provide cars to retail dealers and often facilitate trades among dealers. A good car buyer will make a little on each car (perhaps $ 300), but can only sell up to 24 cars in one year.

NMVTIS Disclaimer
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle’s repair history.
All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in “real-time” (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days.
Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a “total loss” or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a “total loss” even if the vehicle’s titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be “salvage” or “junk.”
Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers may wish to obtain an independent vehicle inspection, an NMVTIS Vehicle History Report (from an approved NMVTIS data provider – look for the NMVTIS logo), and consult other available vehicle information resources.
The information in NMVTIS includes:
Information from participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state’s primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
Information on “brands” applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
Most recent odometer reading in the state’s title record.
Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, that is required by law to be reported to the system, beginning March 31, 2009. This information will include if the vehicle was determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance carrier.
Information from junk and salvage yards receiving a “cash for clunker” vehicle traded-in under the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) Program.
Consumers are advised to visit www.vehiclehistory.gov for details on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.

The title records, junk/salvage/insurance records, and reported vehicle brands listed in the “Problem Check” section is compiled from data in NMVTIS. This vehicle history data is passed from our connection with AAMVA to our servers, which serves this report to your browser.

got the correct doc fees ???

Published on May 11, 2012 by Rebecca No comments

Calif. Legislature OKs bill to raise

auto-sale documentation fees

Assembly member Bob Blumenfield

The documentation fees auto dealers charge car buyers will go up by at least $25

if a state bill that has passed in both houses of the California Legislature is signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.

AB 1215 by Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield (D-Woodland Hills)

passed the state Assembly with a 67-4 vote after a state Senate vote of 30 to 4 on Tuesday.

Under the bill, auto retailers will be able to raise the documentation fees charged for processing auto purchases and lease agreements to

$80 from $55 for new- and used-car purchases and from $45 for car leases.

Dealers would also be required to run the vehicle identification number of any used auto for sale on their lots through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System to check whether the auto has a so-called branded title. Any vehicles showing up as having been totaled or bought back through a lemon law or a victim of some other catastrophe would get a red window sticker warning potential buyers of the auto’s history.

Insurance carriers, repair shops, towing companies and salvage yards must report totaled vehicles to the database, overseen by the U.S. Justice Department.

The legislation is supported by law enforcement agencies, consumer groups and the California New Car Dealers Assn.

“This bill unleashes the power of technology to provide first in the nation consumer protections, cut red tape, and help save the state millions,” Blumenfield said.  “Buying a car, especially a used one, requires some detective work to determine its safety and value.  By requiring junk cars and death traps to be flagged with a warning sticker, consumers can see these vehicles for what they really are when shopping for a car.”

Blumenfield said California is the nation’s largest car market.  Last year, more than 800,000 used cars were sold through dealerships.

The bill is on Gov. Brown’s desk for his signature or veto.

got test drive coverage ( 11580 insurance code ) ???

Published on May 11, 2012 by Rebecca No comments
gotplates star

all licensed car dealers must maintain

used car dealer insurance

and dealer license plates

to operate their vehicles on the road

+++++

most dealers offer test drives to potential customers

if the dealer secures a copy of the prospective buyers

drivers license and insurance card on an existing vehicle

and

issues a letter of permission to the prospective buyer

( such test drive is legal for up to 7 days )

11580 of the insurance code goes into effect

+++++

11580 of the insurance code

makes the prospective buyers insurance primary coverage

and makes the dealer insurance secondary coverage

so that

if your prospective buyer stacks up the dealer car on a test drive

the dealer can make claim on the prospective buyers insurance

+++++

protect yourself with the proper paperwork on ALL test drives

good luck

thx
