Title: RE: [WTW] request for information

Robin- In our program at Bethany, we do experience people losing their jobs.  I try to wait while they look for another job, and encourage them to keep in contact with me.  We do not have a dealer license, nor do we give or sell the cars to another person.  If the client is not able to make payments of any kind and no longer wants the vehicle, we have it auctioned and take what we can get.  The circumstances would be considered when we decide whether to turn the balance over for collection.   Chris Rettenmaier ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 12:30 PM Subject: RE: [WTW] request for information I have a question.  In Canton Ohio many of our folks are losing their jobs.  The question  I have relate to our clients not being able to pay their loans.  Clients are contacting us and voluntarily asking us to take the car back. QUESTIONS: Is anyone else having this going on? If a client returns a car to you do you resale it to another client? If so does your agency have a dealership license? Do you have the car auctioned and just accept the low auction price and call it a day? If a client returns the car to you, does your agency put insurance on the car? Do you have a special type of insurance, for say storing it, or allow other clients to test drive it? Does anyone do this often and if so how does the frequency in changes in the insurance effect your agency? Say put a car on , sell it 2 weeks later, add another car sell it a week later? Is anyone dealing with these issues?   Thanks Robin Seemann Canton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 3:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WTW] request for information Dan see the attached letter that I mail out to dealerships in our area. We have a similar one for mechanics -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Washburn Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WTW] request for information Dear colleagues, Many of your programs have lists of "recommended" or "approved" auto dealers and mechanics. I've noticed that these lists can help make it easier for our customers to find the cars they're shopping for, or to get them repaired. I've learned that one of the major reasons for establishing these lists is that, as we are doing so, we're establishing relationships with businesses that will understand Ways to Work before our customers walk through their doors. My question is: For the programs that offer these lists, do you have written agreements with  your recommended/approved dealers and mechanics? If so, I'd appreciate it if you would e-mail me a copy via this listserve. Thanks, Dave Washburn Ways to Work family loan program manager Consuelo Foundation Honolulu, HI
