Who is really paying the toll for uninsured drivers?
Uninsured drivers are a growing concern, with recent reports indicating a rise to 14% in 2022. This increase not only endangers other motorists but also leads to higher insurance premiums across the board. The impact has been measured and discussed everywhere, most recently in the Wall Street Journal, highlighting the broad economic pressures on individuals and businesses.
The cost is significant, pushing many to make difficult choices, often at the expense of insurance coverage, and, for businesses the risks are even greater.
Ensuring proper insurance coverage through automated verification processes is essential to mitigating these risks and protecting both drivers and companies.
Ditch the call center: The role of automated auto insurance monitoring in collateral protection insurance
Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI) and auto insurance are deeply intertwined, ensuring that vehicles remain insured and lenders’ investments stay protected. However, the traditional process of verifying auto insurance is often manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors, costing CPI providers valuable resources. In our latest blog, we explore how automated auto insurance monitoring is transforming the CPI industry by streamlining verification processes, improving compliance, and enhancing customer experience. Discover why CPI providers should embrace automation to optimize operations and safeguard their portfolios.
Automation over cutting corners: A costly reminder from Allstate
Late last month, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint against Allstate’s National General alleging the "force-placing" of unnecessary collateral protection insurance (CPI) on up to 2 million vehicles, revealing the devastating consequences of inadequate insurance tracking systems. National General's failure to accurately verify borrowers' existing insurance coverage led to erroneous charges, resulting in severe financial hardships for many consumers, including repossession of vehicles.
The case underscores the need for businesses to adopt automated monitoring solutions to avoid such costly mistakes. Automated systems ensure that CPI is only applied when necessary, maintaining compliance with legal requirements and safeguarding both consumers and lenders from undue financial burden. By investing in advanced technology for insurance verification, businesses can avoid the pitfalls that National General faced, protect their reputations, and uphold the trust of their customers. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing automation is no longer optional—it’s essential.
