LEAP Auto Loans Provides Financing Alternatives for Consumers Facing Repossession or Bankruptcy

SAN DIEGO--May 12, 2011: After a year of testing and development, LEAP Auto Loans, an auto leasing company serving consumers that have difficulty obtaining credit, has introduced a new leasing program that helps consumers facing repossession or bankruptcy keep their cars. LEAP works with lenders to mitigate their losses on defaulted auto loans, while allowing consumers to keep their vehicles in this difficult economy.

“LEAP's value proposition works for both the lender and the consumer in repossession or bankruptcy situations. Sometimes the lender faces restrictions in their ability to modify auto loans. We save both the lender and the consumer money in difficult circumstances.”

The LEAP program offers distinct advantages for both borrowers and lenders. Borrowers benefit as the vehicle is leased back to them by LEAP at a reduced monthly payment to better fit their circumstances. Lenders can sell repossessed vehicles to LEAP for more money than they can realize through the auction process. The program is transparent and affordable; there are no costs to inquire or apply.

"While there has been a lot written about mortgage modification solutions, we realized there was a void in the auto lending space for this type of product," says Tim Condon, president and founder, LEAP Auto Loans. "LEAP's value proposition works for both the lender and the consumer in repossession or bankruptcy situations. Sometimes the lender faces restrictions in their ability to modify auto loans. We save both the lender and the consumer money in difficult circumstances."
