Consumers Driving Their Way To Higher Credit Scores Thanks to AutoTrakk.


MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. -- AutoTrakk, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

LLC - Logical Link Control
, a Montoursville, PA, based consumer finance company, has developed an innovative new program to offer short term leasing (2-3 years) through new car dealers to credit challenged customers on late model used cars.

The AutoTrakk program incorporates weekly payments and an electronic payment reminder system to make the benefits of leasing available to consumers who would otherwise be unable to secure financing through more traditional sources. The electronic payment reminder system, which interrupts interrupts - interrupt  the car's starter if payments are late, substantially reduces the risk normally associated with financing cars to individuals with low credit scores.

This proprietary system enables AutoTrakk to provide financing to customers who would likely otherwise be precluded from the opportunity to acquire a reliable vehicle at an affordable price. AutoTrakk also reports to all major credit agencies every month. As a result, customers' prompt payments quickly become part of their overall credit history and contribute toward improving their total credit score.
