Key Takeaways from Auto Reporting Webinar
As part of its Business Partner Webinar Series last week, AFSA hosted Equifax for Reporting Automotive Loan Payments During COVID-19 Pandemic. Drew Rosedale, Data Contributor Services Leader and Jenn Reid, VP Strategy & Marketing walked viewers through the lay of the land and what to expect in the coming weeks and months. There were four key takeaways from the program.
- The credit reporting industry have long had codes in place to assist consumers impacted by a natural or declared disaster or other financial hardship.
- Furnishers are strongly encouraged to continue working with their customers to take full advantage of these codes and report them to the credit reporting agencies (CRAs).
- The leading score modelers treat these codes as neutral so there should be no negative scoring impact on consumers who are reported to the CRAs with these codes.
- There is a wide array of resources available to the financial services industry, including Equifax’s coronavirus resource page.
