Every repossession is a failure of timing
Auto borrowers rarely go from current to repossession without warning. There is a missed payment, a second, a period of silence, and then a tow truck. Most would have paid something if reached at the right moment with a workable option. Instead they get a dialer call during their shift, miss it, and the loan rolls. By the time a human reaches them, the only conversation left is about the vehicle.
HL Hunt is built to win the early window. The AI reaches borrowers through the channel they use, usually text, at the time they respond, usually evenings, with an offer they can act on in two taps. Partial payments, reschedules, and short plans keep loans current. When data shows hardship or repo risk, the account escalates to a human with full context before the decision point.
When repossession does happen, deficiency balances are among the hardest debts to collect because the borrower feels they already lost. HL Hunt handles them with correct state notices and itemization, empathetic messaging, and affordability-based plan negotiation that turns written-off deficiencies into paying accounts.

Auto Loans FAQ
Does HL Hunt handle state right-to-cure requirements?
Yes. Notice content, timing, and cure periods vary by state and are generated and tracked automatically based on borrower location and loan type.
Can the AI decide to repossess?
No. Repossession is a human decision. The AI surfaces risk, exhausts cure options, and escalates with recommendations.
How are deficiency balances itemized?
From sale data you provide: balance, sale proceeds, fees, and credits, presented in the format your state requires in notices and the portal.
Does it work for buy-here-pay-here dealers?
Yes. BHPH dealers use HL Hunt to automate reminders and plan setup, with Free and Basic plans fitting smaller lots.
