Rick Reichert

Rick Reichert appears in Riding with the repo man (update) as the dealer-side voice explaining how dealerships handle poor-credit customers and Subprime Auto Lending. He describes the indirect language salespeople use when a customer may not qualify for normal financing and argues that subprime loans are not automatically bad if they help a borrower keep paying, rebuild credit, and eventually qualify for better terms.

His role is important because he separates responsible subprime lending from loose underwriting. Rick says some lenders had become too willing to extend money, credit, or term length to borrowers who probably should not have received those loans. That connects the dealer desk to Consumer Loan Risk, Personal Credit Record, and the later Auto Repossession outcome.
