Frequently asked questions
Direct answers for automotive lending teams.
A concise guide to LRS coverage, lender setup, recovery documentation, and voluntary surrender coordination.
What types of lenders does LRS work with?
LRS works with banks, credit unions, automotive finance companies, loan-servicing organizations, and other secured lenders.
What area does LRS cover?
LRS primarily serves the Kansas City metropolitan area, western Missouri, eastern Kansas, and selected communities within approximately 100 miles.
What documentation is provided after a recovery?
Recovery documentation can include vehicle-condition photographs and recovery information prepared for the lender file, based on the assignment and agreed process.
How does a lender submit a new assignment?
A new lender should first call or submit a general setup request. After the relationship and communication process are established, assignment information can be transmitted through the agreed channel.
Does LRS coordinate voluntary vehicle surrenders?
Yes. When appropriate, LRS can coordinate a voluntary surrender with the lender and the person in possession of the vehicle.
What information belongs in the public contact form?
Only general business contact information: representative name, institution, work email, phone number, and a general coverage need. Do not submit debtor, VIN, account, or recovery-location details.
Can a bank or credit union discuss onboarding before sending an assignment?
Yes. A lending institution can first confirm coverage, communication expectations, and the appropriate secure assignment channel without placing sensitive borrower or collateral information in the public form.
Does LRS guarantee a recovery time or recovery rate?
No public guarantee is made. Assignment conditions differ, so LRS reviews coverage and operational fit before discussing expectations with the lender.
How should a lender confirm a specific service location?
Call LRS at 816-533-3565 or send a general coverage request identifying the city or county only. Do not include a debtor name, VIN, account number, or exact recovery location.
Why are condition photographs useful?
Condition photographs help establish a visual record of the vehicle at recovery and support the documentation maintained in the lender file.
