In February 26, 2017 edition of Auto News, Sharon Silke Carty posted a story of interest as follows: “Those making auto payments with that have poor credit are sometime subjected to surveillance from their auto loan lenders, who install GPS tracking devices and kill switches on the car to disable it if the owner fails to keep up with the payments on time. Now the FTC is taking a look at this exercise to see if the devices are a violation of consumer privacy or can be considered harassment from the banks. Credit Acceptance Corp., based in Southfield, Mich., says it is being investigated by the FTC involving its policies & practices for using the devices.
Bloomberg reported that another lender, DriveTime Auto, is also being looked into. DriveTime told Bloomberg it does not use kill switches, but the autos that it finances have GPS trackers already installed. These devices are being used increasingly as the pool of subprime auto loans increases. The Fed Reserve Bank of NY says that subprime auto loans are rising, along with an increase in delinquencies. About 6M people were 90 behind on their car payments at the close of 2016, according to a recent study by the bank. Devices such as kill switches & GPS tracking units help lenders lower losses when loans are unpaid by allowing faster repossession according to Michael Benoit, partner at Hudson Cook, a law firm focused on consumer financial services.”
