Salt Lake City, Utah, March 9, 2010— Advanced Collection Services (ACS) keeps work locations flexible with IAT’s CT Impact Hosted Services. Collection agents can contact accounts via CT Impact from any location, which has improved ACS’ bottom line.

Peter Allen, Manager of ACS, recognized the rural location of the office in Lewiston, Maine can make commuting difficult for the growing agency of 11 employees. Using CT Impact’s Hosted Broadcast Messaging, Allen has created a virtual office where employees work from home during every shift of the work day.

“In the past, we had some difficulty staffing the evening calling campaigns; people tend to not want to work that shift. However, it's much easier to do that with agents working from home,” said Allen.

Primarily, Allen runs CT Impact Hosted Broadcast Messaging during the evening, when most of his agents are working from home. CT Impact will transfer incoming calls to available agents working in the office or from home.

Adding IAT’s CT Impact Hosted Services to ACS was easy for Allen, who has had IAT’s site-premised predictive dialer, CT Center, for over 20 years. Allen has found it easier to retain agents and expand business while only slightly increasing staffing levels with both CT Center and CT Impact working for him.

Ray Fowler, IAT’s Director of Sales and Marketing, sees the potential collection agencies can obtain with CT Impact. “We’ve found that using the hosted services of CT Impact provides incredible flexibility for collection agencies. It allows agencies like ACS to be flexible with its employees’ work environments but still contact numerous accounts during the working hours of the day,” Fowler said.

Salt Lake City, Utah—The internal collection department of Indiana based company Mountain Glacier, selected IAT’s CT Impact Hosted Services because it fit their needs.

“We looked at other competitors,” said Natasha Gomez, Corporate Manager of Mountain Glacier, “But everything went really smoothly when we inquired about IAT.”

Mountain Glacier has three collection agents who contact their 25,000 commercial and residential accounts within the zero to 90 day past due period. During this time, they use CT Impact hosted predictive dialing with the option to leave a message.

“The reports are easy to upload and our supervisor really likes CT Impact,” said Gomez, “She’s on it all day, everyday.”

After the 90 day mark, the accounts are turned over to their attorney for further collection efforts.

IAT, the creator of SmartDial®, has been developing dialing technology for two decades. CT Impact is constantly being improved to create greater ease of use and independence for the customer. “We’re making improvements all the time,” said Randy Cooper, IAT CEO, “One of our most recent additions is a real time data interface with our vendor partner Beam 4D.”

The real time interface eliminates the need to upload accounts to the CT Impact Web site by giving CT Impact current accounts to contact, in real time. IAT also provides software development kits, which provides a general data interface for customers not using Beam 4D to develop their own real time interface.

“Our kits allow more automation for our customers, they don’t have to rely so heavily on IAT if they have the automation on their end,” said Cooper, “Which means we can provide more support for our CT Impact customers.”

The constant improvements to CT Impact make it easier for agencies like Mountain Glacier to achieve success. “We’ve seen a change in the numbers of our accounts receivables bucket,” said Gomez, “The numbers of our zero to 90 day accounts have changed for the better.”

The independently owned third-party servicer offers skip tracing, repossession management and now remarketing management -- with more services coming soon.

DALLAS, Texas – Feb. 1, 2010 – Windsor Group today announced its purchase of Windsor Remarketing, a Fort Worth-based remarketing management company. Their combined menu of services includes skip tracing, repossession management and remarketing management. As a result of the merger, Windsor Group will also welcome Scott France, a 25-year auto finance industry veteran, to its leadership team.

"From day one, both companies' growth plans included offering more services," says Cliff McCrary, chief executive officer and partner at Windsor Group. "By joining forces with Windsor Remarketing, we provide a seamless client experience. We skip-trace the consumer, locate the vehicle, repossess it, and -- instead of returning the collateral to the client -- now we can remarket the vehicle and send a check instead. This creates efficiency by streamlining the process for our clients, saving them time, resources and money."

Scott France, chief operating officer and partner at Windsor Group (and former president of Windsor Remarketing), says, "We're introducing a unique concept to the industry -- a company owned by its management team, whose sole focus is third-party servicing. This is our bread and butter -- our only business. And, because we don't have equity interest in repo agents or auto auctions, we're free to work with only the best. You won't find favoritism here; when it comes to our vendors, price and performance matter most."

The new Windsor Group helps auto lenders, banks, credit unions, dealer groups and investors through:

Skip tracing

• Customer location
• Collateral location

Repossession management

• Verification that repo agents are licensed, bonded and insured
• Recovery management
• Agent scorecards for accountability

Remarketing management

• Auction communication
• Transportation of collateral
• Reconditioning and repair to boost value
• Floor pricing using the latest market research
• Live, in-person representation at auction to bring the best return on collateral
• Online sales to foster buyer interest
• Quick transfer of auction proceeds

 Portfolio management

• Title management
• Impound processing

Clients will minimize losses and maximize recoveries by leveraging Windsor Group's loan servicing expertise, scale, nationwide network of top-performing repo agents and auto auctions, advanced technology and software, risk management processes, and more.

"Most importantly, we know firsthand what our clients deal with each day. I've walked in their shoes for decades," says France, former portfolio management executive at Triad Financial, AmeriCredit and Omni Financial Services. "In addition to impressive results, we create the most personal, enjoyable client experience possible. You're much more than a number to us."

McCrary adds, "This expansion of services is a preview of what's to come for Windsor Group. We will continue growing our suite of products to give clients the convenience and flexibility they need from a third-party servicer."

On Feb. 9 through Feb. 11, Windsor Group representatives will attend the 13th annual DBA International Conference at the Mirage Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
