Lenders offer assistance
after Harvey
Auto lenders are stepping up to help Gulf Coast customers affected by the storm. Photo credit: BLOOMBERG
August 30, 2017 @ 11:39 am Alex Kwanten
Several other lenders indicated they would be temporarily halting collection and repossession activity but declined to be named on the record.
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, auto lenders are stepping up to help Gulf Coast customers affected by the storm.
Most lenders are working hard to make their customers aware of the relief measures, posting notifications on their websites and social media and notifying them by email and, in some cases, conventional mail.
Informed by their experiences following Hurricane Katrina 12 years ago, captive lending arms including American Honda Financial Services, Ford Motor Credit, GM Fi- Just days after Harvey hit, they are already fielding inquiries. “We have already heard nancial, Hyundai Capital America and Toyota Financial Services are offering payment from customers affected by Hurricane Harvey who are sharing a computer in a shelter extensions, expanded phone and online payment options with no fees, and to redirect and have asked for extensions,” said Ford spokeswoman Meredith Libbey. billing statements. “We know customers in the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Harvey may need some assistance such as a little more time making payments, or may need help setting up online billing or getting their billing statements temporarily routed elsewhere,” said Anna Sampang, vice president of service operations strategy at Toyota Financial Services. Banks with large auto lending operations -- such as Bank of America, Santander and Wells Fargo -- have followed suit. Santander Consumer USA, Ford Credit, Honda Financial Services, Hyundai Capital and Wells Fargo, among other lenders, are also temporarily reducing or halting collections activity in the area. ‘Help them’ “As we do whenever there is a FEMA-designated emergency, we work with customers to help them as they get back on their feet. For example, we [temporarily] suspend collections calls and repossessions, provide grace periods for payments, etc.,” said Laurie Kight, a Santander spokeswoman.
Ford says some sheltered customers have sought auto loan extensions as a result of the storm. Photo credit: REUTERS
Though some lenders are offering solutions that apply to all customers in a geographic area, most would prefer to work with customers on a case-by-case basis. “GM Financial may offer deferred payments for individuals in locations designated as federal disaster areas and will waive the fees associated with a deferment. Each situation is unique, so our representatives will help customers with a payment option that is best for them,” said Dan Beatty, executive vice president of customer experience at GM Financial. Waiving rules? In the aftermath of Katrina, lenders also waived certain requirements on new loans for replacement vehicles, such as not counting short-term address changes against borrowers and lowering some documentation requirements. Lenders commenting for this article suggested that it’s too early to tell whether this will be repeated. Most were focused on the immediate issues of displaced customers and the state of floorplan-financed inventory at dealerships in the storm’s path. “We have adjusters who live in the flooded area and will send others as needed to evaluate vehicle inventory at dealerships we floorplan/insure as soon as we can safely gain access and the dealers are ready for us,” said Ford’s Libbey said in an email to Automotive News. In addition to loan extensions, some local lenders, such as Texas Dow Employees Credit Union of Lake Jackson, Texas, are already offering emergency personal loans, but these are not specifically auto loans. Texas Dow Employees Credit Union, with its operational headquarters directly in the storm’s path, did not return requests for comment. You can reach Alex Kwanten at foj@autonews.com

OnStar helps local emergency groups respond to Harvey
A rescue team uses a boat to search for evacuees left flooded by Tropical Storm Harvey along Highway 6 in West Houston, Texas, on Wednesday. Photo credit: REUTERS
DETROIT -- As Harvey, the hurricane turned tropical storm, lingers above southeast Texas and Louisiana, local emergency responders remain overwhelmed with calls for help. To cope, they are asking General Motors subsidiary OnStar for assistance. “We are assisting the Red Cross with overflow calls. It’s something they asked us to do because we have the expertise,” said Cathy Bishop, OnStar’s global emergency services manager in Detroit. “But given all the tragedy down there, we are trying to act as one team and not draw lines as to who’s doing what. We have leveraged capacity across all of our call centers to be of assistance.” OnStar is also helping take evacuation requests as local 911 centers were backed up due to heavy call volumes. OnStar worked with local emergency leaders on a system whereby OnStar customers could call OnStar, which would then alert the local 911 system of rescue requests via email if the caller was not in immediate danger. OnStar, which sells subscription-based in-vehicle communications with live operators, has about 200,000 customers in the areas impacted by the storm, Bishop said. Since Saturday, it has taken more than 18,500 calls related to the storm, she said. No cell service Many calls are from people in their vehicle in the water, but “we had one gentleman whose home was right in the eye of the storm,” Bishop said. “He had no power, no cell phone service -- his cell phone was wet -- so he went to his car in his garage and told us his house was ‘crumbling around him.’ We were able to coordinate with the local 911 center to make sure he was safely evacuated.” OnStar has also given callers evacuation routes and contacted family or
friends for those in need, she said. “What’s new in this situation, that we didn’t have back in Hurricane Katrina, is our connected vehicle and Wi-Fi hotspot,” said Bishop. “So if you’re in a flooded situation and cannot leave your home and you’re without power, you can go to your vehicle and use your laptop and keep in touch with your family. It becomes a lifeline that people didn’t have in years past.” Bishop did not have data on how many customers had used that service during Harvey. Bishop and OnStar’s six-member crisis team have been holed up in a situation room next to OnStar’s Command Center in Detroit since last Thursday, continuously monitoring the storm’s developments. “We can make sure call volume is monitored,” monitor the news and “do conference calls, calls with FEMA and the state of Texas,” Bishop said. 24/7 OnStar has four call centers in North America -- in Michigan, North Carolina, Ontario and Nova Scotia -- with 50 administrators and more than 300 call takers. All the centers have been running 24 hours a day, seven days a week since last Thursday, Bishop said. “We have unlimited overtime open to make sure we have appropriate staffing levels,” Bishop said. “Our advisors are seeing this as a privilege to support people in this crisis event. We’ve had an overwhelming response of people wanting to be picked to support these callers.” Greg Layson of Automotive News Canada contributed to this report.
