Professional August 2007-February 2009 CNAC Finance/JD Byrider
experience Finance Manager
Duties included evaluating and supervising CNAC
office activities, achieving all delinquency goals,
charge-off goals and collection goals. Within the
first ninety days, I reduced the DSO days and charge
off substantially. Each application was taken by the
salesperson and brought to CNAC with all
documentation (driver's license, utility bill and
proof of income). My job as an underwriter/manager
was to interview each applicant and complete a budget
with them to assure the affordability. The next step
would be to process their application through our ARE
Software. This program classed each individual as
highest, higher, standard, lower and lowest risk.
Understanding that we were in the sub prime high risk
financing, careful assessment of each individual had
to be taken. Some lowest risk deals were not
acceptable and some higher risk deals may have been
approved for inaccurate information on their credit
report. I insured that every deal structure adhered
to CNAC standards. Verified and evaluated each loan
applicant, rendered a lending decision and issued a
condition statement with proper risk vs. return
ratio.
Closed loans, evaluated problem accounts and prepared
an action plan to bring delinquent accounts current.
Created loan files for each account, monitoring for
completeness, correctness and compliance with my
lending decision. Made deposits, reconciled cash,
prepared spreadsheets for bank, completed borrowing
base paperwork, and made decisions on repossessing
vehicles, filing judgments, customer service, etc.
