Skip Tracer/Deficiency Collector – Auto Finance
Pompano Beach, Florida | Onsite
Find Solutions. Drive Recoveries. Build Your Future.
Are you an experienced auto finance skip tracer who knows how to locate hard-to-find customers, negotiate effective resolutions, and deliver measurable recoveries?
SAFCO is seeking a resourceful and results-driven Skip Tracer / Deficiency Collector to work complex accounts within our non-prime auto finance portfolio. This role requires more than making calls—you’ll investigate, build customer engagement, negotiate solutions, and resolve accounts others cannot.
This position is based at our Pompano Beach, Florida-area headquarters and requires onsite attendance five days per week. Hybrid and remote arrangements are not available.
What You’ll Do
- Locate difficult-to-find customers using advanced skip-tracing tools and investigative techniques
- Manage delinquent and deficiency accounts through inbound and outbound communication
- Negotiate repayment arrangements, settlements, and voluntary surrenders
- Coordinate with direct recovery agents and national forwarding companies
- Manage repossession and recovery activity with outside vendors
- Meet established outbound-call, recovery, and other performance expectations
- Maintain complete, accurate, and timely account documentation
- Follow all applicable FDCPA requirements and company compliance standards
- Develop solutions for complex accounts that have resisted previous recovery efforts
What You’ll Bring
- Previous auto finance collections or skip-tracing experience required
- Experience working non-prime portfolios and complex recovery accounts
- Strong understanding of repossession, deficiency, and recovery processes
- Demonstrated ability to locate and engage difficult-to-reach customers
- Effective communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
- Experience using skip-tracing systems, dialers, and loan-servicing platforms
- Ability to work in a goal-driven environment with established performance standards
- Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus
