From the Editor – April 2010
The Repossession Industry keeps changing, because it is our clients that keep changing it. And now we can still add 'the economy' into the mix because it will be a while before 'things get back to normal' (if they ever do that is). Always at this time of year I hear about so many repossession companies scrambling to get new business and still to this day, after many years of involvement in...

Well, I think I have seen many things in my lifetime and definitely a great many things whilst working within the Repossession Industry, but seeing the trailers for the new movie “Repo Men” gives a truly new meaning to what the repossession industry could be in the future. This movie is about the repossession of human organs. ‘Set in the near future when artificial organs can be... Continue »From The Editor – February 2010
We have an exciting February issue of www.theamericanrepossessor.com with the article from Joe Miller, AutoIMS who provides us with a great insight into the repossession industry with a research survey that really is quite telling and truly does echo the work that I have been doing with many repossession companies and what I have found because of it. Many companies that I begin working with... Continue »From the Editor – January 2010
WELCOME 2010! www.theamericanrepossessor.com is ready for another year of helping bring to the repossession industry quality and professional information, knowledge and expertise, particularly now that we are part of the ISO 9001:2008 Accreditation that ConnecTGo, Inc gained some months ago. Quality and professionalism is always at the forefront of what www.theamericanrepossessor.com is all... Continue »From The Editor – December 2009
November passes us by with yet another fatality of a fellow Field Agent Brandon Thomas and his partner Willie Thackston, who is recovering from the attack. What is wrong with this world? Field Agents are out there only to do their jobs. It's a piece of metal for goodness sake, something that is definitely not worth getting hurt over, let alone losing a life over. They have apprehended... Continue »From The Editor – November 2009
We have a diverse coverage of topics this month from several new writers, all of which their subject areas are significantly important to the success of educating us and helping you to run professional repossession companies. This industry has to professionalize to gain the respect it so rightfully deserves and it needs to overcome the negativity of the 'ball and chain' that it has been...

Are you 'all teched up' and ready for the future and what it brings for the repossession/recovery industry? If you want to compete today and in the future, you need the technology in place that will enable you to not only run your company profitably, but also stave away your competitors! Our industry is changing fast. Not so long ago, it was the fax machine that we bowed down to so that we... Continue »From the Editor – September 2009
Well, it's been quite a long time coming...the CHANGE that is to www.theamericanrepossessor.com and here it is! As I have said many times previously, I don't believe in CHANGE for CHANGE sake but believe that this is a CHANGE that has been needed for some time and has been well worth waiting for - a new logo and branding that will set the pace for the future for our new website and all that...

Nothing stands still and neither are we. WE ARE CHANGING. Yes, the www.theamericanrepossessor.com will be launching a completely new website 1 August 2009. It will contain many new features that are specific to the repossession industry...so watch this space. Last month, I was pleased to be asked to be a guest speaker at the RSIG Conference in Connecticut, and I presented a section on... Continue »From the Editor – June 2009
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have done it again....changed the date when the new Red Flag Rules Program comes into effect for those companies that are suppliers to the financial institutions, in relation to dealing with Identity Theft. The new date for compliance is now 1 August 2009. The FTC states that ....." to give creditors and financial institutions more time to develop and implement... Continue »From the Editor – April 2009
How many more repossession related shootings are we going to read about before something is done to stop this ludicrous violence that is still hitting our streets? In the last 20 days, www.theamericanrepossessor.com has found 5 articles (see the articles listed on the home page) that are all gun related repossessions and they are in diverse areas of the country - Missouri, California,...

What a start to the new year! A busy one thankfully, but one that already has many of us in the industry, holding our heads in our hands and thinking/saying, what is going on? I am referring to Friday's article in the Associated Press relating to the violence within our industry and headlined "Violence between repo men, car owners on the rise"..... So dismayed I was when I read this,... Continue »From the Editor – Feburary 2009
I have to reflect on the death of a fellow repossessor recently, a very unnecessary killing. Nothing in this world is worth that at all, including a piece of metal that we look to repossess. My condolences go out to his family. We in the industry need to remember that life is precious and nothing, but nothing should come before the safety of those that work in our ...

Out with the old, in with the new! It’s not difficult to imagine what we will have to face in 2009…. An unstable economy and all that that brings…governmental changes and associated challenges….continuous wars that seem to have no end – unfortunately……and the list is endless. We can only hope that with CHANGE comes positive... Continue »From the Editor – December 2008
Change, Change and More Change... That's What Makes the World go Around! As the end of the year closes in, we can reflect on 2008 as a year of CHANGE…and for those that may have read my columns, will know that I am very much a CHANGE AGENT. We have seen so much CHANGE this year that for many it has caught them by surprise. CHANGE comes our way either voluntarily,... Continue »From the Editor – November 2008
This month’s issue of theamericanrepossessor.com includes many articles from around the US and many more from the corners of the globe e.g., Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Ireland. You will see that irrespective of geography, we are all suffering from the same CHANGES - the economic problems that have been thrust upon us. Another area of CHANGE that we have to adhere...

OUTSIDE INFLUENCES THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL…..AND THE EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON THE REPOSSESSION INDUSTRY GROWTH MEANS CHANGE……AND THE COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION OF THE COMPANY OWNERS. CHANGE HAS TO COME FROM THE TOP….IT HAS TO BE PLANNED, MANAGED AND CONTROLLED. YOU….YES YOU THE COMPANY OWNER/PRESIDENT ARE 100% TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN COMPANY….NO-ONE ELSE….JUST...

Just like the 2 million people that have been evacuated from the shores of the Louisiana coast, I cannot believe that they are being hit, yet again, with another horrendous storm in such a short period of time. Gustav, it would seem is hell-bent to cause at least the same damage as Katrina did, but this time with fingers crossed and prayers, that most people will be safe and lives will...

Aren’t we lucky paying the $4+ per gallon price tag that wehave been paying for our gas – you think not? Well, how would you like to be paying between $13 and $15 per gallon in Norway instead? I think not, but thereare those in this world, that have to do that if they want to get around and many of those have been paying this amount for numerous years now. Being from Europe...
