Voluntary Protection Products – Lender Best Practices to Address the Compliance Risk
April 27, 2023 | 2:00 pm ET
Over the last several years, scrutiny placed on lenders in connection with the financing and servicing of voluntary protection products (add-ons) has increased tremendously. Recently, the industry has seen an increase in activity on the regulatory, litigation, and legislative front in connection with these products. The CFPB and other regulators have concluded that lenders must proactively process GAP waiver and CLAH refunds upon early termination of the finance agreement in all 50 states or risk a UDAAP finding. Moreover, many lenders are being required to lookback on loans that terminated early, and which included a GAP waiver or CLAH policy to determine whether a refund was processed on these products. Faced with the complex regulations governing these products at the state and federal level, lenders continue to evaluate how best to address the increased risk associated with the financing and servicing of these products. Join our session to hear and discuss best practices to address the ever-changing and complex issues associated with the financing and servicing of voluntary protection products, and how best to prepare your company for its next regulatory exam.
Speakers: Stephen McDaniel, Co-Founder and CEO and Rick Hackett, former CFPB Assistant Director & F&I Sentinel Board Member

The Power of Pricing Optimization in a Tumultuous Auto Finance Landscape
April 13, 2023
Digitalization, inflation, increasing cost of funds, evolving consumer expectations have created uncertainty across the entire auto finance industry, urging the need for technological and strategic shifts. Adding to these difficult times, an increase in delinquencies is starting to emerge.
Such a climate may give some auto lenders a reason to raise prices indefinitely or pause and regroup to avoid undue risk exposure, even at the expense of eroding market share and declining revenue.
The solution lays in finding “smart pricing” strategies and the right tools to support them.
Join the live webinar to learn how you can be smarter and faster with your pricing strategies while reducing overall portfolio risk and driving profitability. We will show you how to deploy price updates as often as 2-3 times per week and reduce the percentage of unprofitable loans in your portfolio.
Topics in the spotlight:
- Maintaining balance between volume, profitability and competitiveness;
- Fundamentals of intelligent dynamic pricing using AI-driven technology;
- Pricing optimization and automation for competitive advantage;
- Proactively assessing the effects of the market changes on your total portfolio;
- Reacting to competitive changes quickly and intelligently.

The CFPB Flexes its Muscle in the Fair Lending and Anti-Discrimination Space: Thoughts on How to Reduce Your Risk
August 17, 2022
On March 16, 2022 the CFPB substantially expanded its authority to police alleged discrimination by issuing a revised UDAAP exam manual. The new guidance states that both intentional and unintentional discriminatory acts or practices that might otherwise fall outside the scope of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act might be considered “unfair” under UDAAP. The Bureau has also targeted algorithms and “black box” underwriting models as sources of discrimination risk, and has recently stressed the importance of compliance among vendors and other third-parties. Taken together, the risk of regulatory scrutiny in the fair lending and anti-discrimination space has never been higher.
Join Bradley attorneys Andrew Narod and Christopher Friedman as they discuss the new fair lending landscape. In particular, Andrew and Chris will provide a broad update on recent developments, and will provide initial guidance about “best-practices” designed to reduce your risk of regulatory scrutiny.

Rebuilding Auto Originations Post Pandemic
December 2, 2021
Auto loan originations took a severe dip during the depths of the pandemic in 2020. The industry began to recover in the second half of 2020 and into 2021 as consumer finances stabilized and demand for automobiles as an alternative to public transportation increased. Additionally, shifts and shocks in the automotive industry have changed consumer behavior and market dynamics. The evolution of modern digital retailing, impact of global supply chain crunch (e.g., chips) on inventory and pricing, growth in auto refinance, and advent of next generation underwriting are all examples of factors reshaping auto lending in 2021 and beyond.
As auto lenders focus on growing their portfolios, they need to determine what enhancements are necessary to their existing originations strategies to identify growth opportunities. Current strategies for which customer segments to target and how to reach them should be revisited in light of the changes brought on by the pandemic. In this session, we’ll share insights on specific credit characteristics of consumers with high auto originations propensity, improving wallet profiles, and similarities amongst consumers who’ve historically taken out auto loans — all of which can be used to enhance existing lending strategies.
