Webinar: Managing the Repossession Process, Including Notice & Sale
July 8, 2025 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Repossession may seem like a routine part of loan servicing, but it’s one of the most legally hazardous and reputationally sensitive actions a financial institution can take.
What begins as a collateral recovery operation can quickly devolve into a regulatory nightmare, lawsuit, or PR crisis. But when done correctly, repossession can mitigate loss and preserve collateral value. Veteran collections attorney David Reed will teach you how!
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Appreciate the growing legal and operational risks associated with repossessions
- Deploy a roadmap for building effective internal processes
- Design tools to strengthen oversight of third-party agents and sale vendors
- Create strategies for maximizing collateral recovery
- Understand the requirements of a commercially reasonable sale
- Employ practical solutions for integrating repossession controls into your broader risk management framework
- Avoid common repossession pitfalls
WEBINAR DETAILS
Repossessions must be handled with precision and care. Institutions that invest in proactive repossession governance not only reduce legal exposure but also recover more value from collateral, streamline operations, and demonstrate regulatory maturity. In an era where compliance failures can go viral, this is one area where your institution can’t afford to be reactive.
This webinar will walk through the repossession process from end to end, with a focus on legal compliance, proper notification procedures, and best practices for the sale of repossessed collateral. You’ll learn why repossession is such a legally risky area and how your institution can turn risk into opportunity with smart controls, detailed documentation, and proactive governance. Whether your institution outsources repossession services or manages part of it in-house, this session will help ensure your practices are sound, defensible, and aligned with current legal and regulatory standards.

This session is designed for executives, managers, internal auditors, lending staff, collections managers, compliance officers, risk management officers, vendor management staff, and anyone involved in the collections and asset recovery process.
