Ignite Consulting Partners is hosting a free webinar focused on one of the most complicated services buy-here, pay-here dealers sometimes offer their customers — reporting of payment activity to one of the credit bureaus.

Richard Hudson, chief optimization officer at Ignite Consulting Partners, is scheduled to conduct a one-hour discussion focused on some of the best practices BHPH dealers can use to ensure they are reporting information correctly. The free webinar is set for 2 p.m. ET on July 18.

“Furnishing consumers’ information to the bureaus is a process fraught with risk for those who are not prepared,” Ignite Consulting Partners said.

“During this free webinar, we will discuss concrete steps you can take to help mitigate risk, protect your business and, most importantly, ensure that you are taking care of your customers,” the firm added.

Hudson will drill down into three topics, including:

—Reporting accurate information

—Properly responding to disputes

—Getting the process right for your business

Hudson is the former director of iDMS and inventory support at DealerSocket, as well as the former manager of tech support at AutoStar Solutions. He has eight years of experience of working with some of the biggest names in the automotive industry and has expertise in credit reporting compliance and processes, collections processes and management, retail installment contract servicing and team management.
