Business Editors/Automotive Writers

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2002

During the last 19 days of trading AutoFund Servicing, Inc.'s (OTCBB:AFSR) stock has traded for a high of .40 to a low of .06 losing 84% of its value. Yet according to Mr. James Haggard, Chairman of the Board and President, things are looking much better.

Mr. Haggard further states, "I do not understand public stock as well as I understand running AutoFund, but I am a quick study. AutoFund became public in part, due to a reverse merger. The merger unfortunately came with 2 large shareholders who, in my opinion, would have inhibited our future growth and financial stability of the stock. We now have reason to believe these shareholders have sold their interest in AutoFund and moved on. This sudden sale of their stock, I believe, resulted in the collapse of the stocks integrity. Now with these shareholders out of the picture AutoFund has a better opportunity for its future growth and financial stability of the stock."

Mr. Haggard continues, "Very few investors know of AutoFund and that has to change. At present, we are in the process of interviewing with several public relations companies. Getting the word out about who AutoFund is has become as important as running it.

"We are days away from closing two major portfolios with a total value of 96 million dollars. The due diligence for the portfolios are completed, the offers accepted and the lenders in agreement. Acquisitions this size take time and lots of patience. We may have been a bit premature back in September 2001 when we announced the Non-Binding Bid for the 56 million portfolio, but all things come in their own time. An announcement with specifics on the portfolios will follow the closing."
