How Does Autovest LLC Operate?
Autovest LLC specializes in buying automobile accounts from other lenders. For example, if you financed the purchase of a vehicle and defaulted on the loan, the lender will repossess the vehicle. The lender sells the vehicle and applies the proceeds of the sell to the balance you owe on the account. Any remaining balance, after the proceeds have been applied to the balance owed, is known as a deficiency. Autovest LLC purchases the account from the lender so that it can collect the deficiency amount from you. It pays the lender less than what you owe on the account so that when you pay the balance owed to Autovest LLC, it will generate a profit.
