Holy Cow Batman! Depreciation is Back!

Thankfully GAP is here to save the Day!
OK, that is a bit corny, but sometimes you have to find humor when paying large claims like this one. This brand new 2023 Charger had a window sticker of $52,860 in January 2024 when the loan was made. Two months later the primary carrier (not to be named but has good hands) paid $36,915.50 for a total loss.

That is a cool 30% reduction in value in just 60 days. Fortunately for this member they purchased GAP with their loan and GAP is helping to waive the entire remaining loan balance of $19,466.64.

Exciting News for Clients with the Auto Advantage Program

Auto Deductible Reimbursement (ADR)

We have great news for all VisualGAP clients that provide complimentary Auto Deductible Reimbursement (ADR) benefits for their borrowers that elect GAP. Frost has made arrangements with the ADR Administrator to streamline the benefit claim process in the event of a Total Loss GAP claim.

If there is a Total Loss GAP claim and the borrower has the ADR benefit, Frost will automatically submit the needed information to the ADR administrator which will simplify the claims process and allow us to "coordinate benefits" to make sure that the program is delivering more value for you and your borrowers

In situations where the vehicle is damaged and not a Total Loss or a GAP claim results in a $0 benefit, the borrower should continue to be directed to https://www.assuranceplus.com/Claims to submit their benefit request.

VisualGAP® offers online training sessions through GoToMeeting®. This is a very exciting way to re-train employees and train new hires on how to use VisualGAP®, and we believe it will have great benefits for everyone using the system. Here is a list of our up-coming Training Sessions:

Marketing & Selling GAP with Confidence

GAP is a valuable and popular loan protection product that is designed to help protect auto loan borrowers and provide peace of mind. However, some recent industry news has highlighted the risk of sloppy marketing/sales tactics and reinforces the importance of marketing/selling GAP appropriately and accurately.

The following list of “Do's” and “Don'ts” will help ensure that your borrowers understand the product they are buying, and help keep your institution out of legal and regulatory hot water. Please share these best practices with your lending, marketing and compliance colleagues at your institution.

TotalRestart Loyalty Membership Program

Frost has recently introduced an enhancement to our GAP program that can greatly increase the value of your GAP offering. Our new TotalRestart Loyalty Membership Program does more than just forgive a deficiency loan balance created by a theft or total loss. It helps borrowers replace their total loss vehicle with one similar to the one they originally purchased and financed with your Financial Institution.

Contact your local representative or email us to learn how you can significantly increase your GAP sales by adding clear value and benefits to your GAP offering. Additionally, increase loyalty after a total loss and ensure that the loan for the replacement vehicle ends up with your Financial Institution.

TotalRestart is available exclusively through VisualGAP®.

Letters of Guarantee (LOG) & Legal Jeopardy

How does the routine and common practice of signing a Letter of Guarantee with your borrower's physical damage insurance company become a legal nightmare for you? Simple. You signed up for it.

As is standard procedure, when a borrower totals his or her car, the insurance company sends the lien holder a summary letter and a document called a Letter of Guarantee (LOG). The Letter of Guarantee details what they will pay in return for releasing the title of the totaled auto. This letter is written by the insurance company and is, naturally, designed to protect their interests; however, it has the potential to jeopardize the interests, legal and financial, of you and your borrower──if you sign it!
