Powerful fraud protection in 1, 2, 3.

It’s never been more difficult to protect your dealership against fraud. Every day, your dealership sees a new buyer or acquires a trade-in, making the stakes higher than ever to be on the lookout for red flags in a transaction. 

 

This month, we want to share three powerful tools we provide to make it easy to protect your dealership against fraud. You already may have access to these and if not, getting set up is just a matter of reaching out to your Account Executive.


Verify out-of-state buyers with DLDV

Driver License Data Verification — or DLDV — is made to verify that your out-of-state buyer is who they say they are. A quick check is all it takes to get easy-to-read reports. 

 

DLDV pulls data from 41 states (through AAMVA), making it reliable and secure wherever you are.

DLDV Lookup Inquiry passed and failed

Avoid surprises with NMVTIS

National reporting gives you a complete picture of titling history and — more importantly — keeps you in the know of any “brand hits” on the vehicle including junk, salvage, flooded and more.

 

Save your dealership from headaches with one of the best tools at your disposal — Vitu’s NMVTIS inquiry summary page and exclusive, easy-to-read formatting gives you crucial information to protect your dealership.

NMVTIS Brand Hit Reports

Stay aware of theft and lien history

Before you receive a trade-in, you need to know if a vehicle has any theft or lien history that could impact its resale value. This exclusive report shows if a vehicle was previously reported stolen or if there are any outstanding liens on it — and as always, it comes in an easy-to-read format.

Theft and Lien Report

The power is in your hands

With the power of these three reports at your fingertips, you have everything you need in order to make the right decisions for your dealership.

 

DLDV, NMVTIS, and Theft and Lien reports are available right now for most of our users under the Lookups tab. For more information and to start using these powerful fraud prevention tools, reach out to your Account Executive today.

Stress Buster Contest
Last of our timeline seminars in December — and they’re free.

We have something special for your dealership's Sales and Finance team, Title Clerks, and Business Managers. It’s a live RMP webinar covering everything you need to know about submission timelines and how important they are to your dealership.


In this breezy 45-minute course, we’ll connect the dots at your dealership regarding the effective processes and procedures to ensure timely submission and completion of vehicle titling and registration paperwork once a vehicle is sold.


And as a bonus, each registrant is automatically entered into a special prize raffle.

 

Sessions through the end of the year

Two dates are available in December with both morning and afternoon slots to better fit your schedule. Find the one that works for you on the RMP site and sign up today before they’re gone.

Make sure brand new clerks have the knowledge they need.

Is your dealership having trouble finding experienced Title Clerks to process title and registration work? Or, do you need to train a new title clerk or an existing employee on DMV processes? 


RMP offers a course for that. Our DMV Clerk Certification Course offers specialized training from our knowledgeable staff on DMV processes and procedures through online training, in-depth webinars and hands-on processing at your dealership. All in a comprehensive 12-week package.


Make no mistake, your employees (or potential new employees) won’t breeze through the training, as it requires passing two exams to complete the course, but once they finish, they will be equipped with the knowledge and know-how to implement DMV title and registration processes for your business office.
