How it works
- 01
Sync your servicing system
Delinquent loans, payment history, vehicle data, and consent flags flow in by connector or API.
- 02
AI runs cure outreach
Reminders, plan options, and payment links timed to each borrower. Hardship and repo-risk accounts escalate to your team.
- 03
Resolve or transition
Cured loans exit. Repossessed accounts move to deficiency strategies with the complete history attached.
Every repossession is a failure of timing
Auto borrowers rarely go from current to repossession without warning. There is a missed payment, a second one, a period of silence, and then a tow truck. Most of those borrowers would have paid something if they had been reached at the right moment with a workable option. Instead they get a dialer call during their shift, do not answer, 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 actually 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 the data shows hardship or repo risk, the account escalates to a human with full context before the decision point, not after.
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 the affordability-based plan negotiation that turns a written-off deficiency into a paying account.

Auto Finance FAQ
Can 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 the borrower's state and the loan type.
Does it work for buy-here-pay-here dealers?
Yes. BHPH dealers with small teams and high-touch portfolios use HL Hunt to automate reminders and plan setup, with the Free and Basic plans fitting smaller lots.
How are deficiency balances itemized?
From the sale data you provide: balance, sale proceeds, fees, and credits, presented in the format your state requires in the validation notice and portal.
Can the AI decide to repossess?
No. Repossession is a human decision. The AI surfaces risk, exhausts cure options, and escalates with recommendations. Your team decides.
