Automakers Taken to Task
0 E ditor’s Note: For the past two
years, banker Pete Allen has been
waging a one-man campaign to force
the B ig Three automakers to comply
with Truth-in-Lending regulations
0 as they offer a so-called low percent­
age interest rate to finance the pur­
chase o f their cars and trucks. Mr.
Allen has taken his campaign to the
Federal Reserve Board for some
0 months, and early in M ay presented
his viewpoints to Federal Reserve
Board officials when he went with
the Minnesota Bankers Association
on its annual visit to Washington to
# visit regulators and Congressmen.
Mr. Allen has summarized his views
in the following paper which he
s h a res w it h

B y B.P. A L L E N , President
First National Bank
Milaca, Minn.

^ “ They are eating you alive in the
automotive financing business. . . ”
So said Michelle Krebs, finance
editor o f Automotive News maga£ zine, in a speech at the 1986 confer­
ence o f the Consumer Bankers Asso­
ciation. Her subject concerned the
goals o f the automakers and their
captive finance companies.
®

The Problem
The B ig Three automakers are re­
signed to the fact that their corpo­

rate growth will not be in manufac­
turing and selling more cars and
trucks. Their target is to increase
earnings through growth in finan­
cial services, and under anti-trust
deregulation their success has been
phenomenal. In 1986, finance com­
panies increased consumer install­
ment loans by $25 billion and auto
loans accounted for $24.3 billion, or
96.4% o f the increase. In compari­
son, all banks’ consumer installment
loans increased $16.9 billion.
In October, 1986, G M A C an­
nounced the sale o f $3.2 billion of
auto receivables packaged into se­
curities, through First Boston Cor­
poration, the largest corporate-spon­
sored capital issue in U.S. history.
Since then, other auto loan securi­
tized issues, some sponsored by
large banks, have become common­
place. G M A C has been so satisfied
with the results that in March of
this year it announced plans to offer
$25 billion in car loans, not just in
order to sell cars but to build a cus­
tomer base for all types o f consumer
finance, m ortgage lending, insur­
ance sales, investment and deposit
functions. The stakes are mammoth.
The result has been that it ap­
pears that 1986 was the first year in
which finance companies financed a
larger share o f the auto market than
commercial banks; whereas, histori­
cally, the ratio had been approxi­
mately 20% to 45% respectively.

June 1,1987
But for smaller community banks,
the negative impact has been
greater inasmuch as they have fewer
dealer financing arrangements, and
they are not in a position to generate
fee or service income from securi­
tized loan packaging or participa­
tions. A t the very time that loan de­
mand in other areas, i.e. agriculture
and rural businesses, has been weak,
the previously profitable new-car
lending has been nearly non-exis­
tent.
Community banks need help.
The Reason
The reason is so simple that many
people in high places refuse to recog­
nize it. You do not have to be a
Philadelphia lawyer to understand
it, but many find it self-serving to
cloud the issue.

Finance companies are gaining
and banks losing because o f the
A.P.R. advertising!
It is the 2.9%, 3.9%, etc. that gets
the buyer sat down at the dealer’s fi­
nance desk. And, in spite o f the fact
that few can afford the 24 month
amortization, their salesmen then
have their unsuspecting eager buyer
at their desks.
And the consumer loses. For 18
years the “ A P R ” has gained the
confidence and respect of the public
as the truth, something which they
may not fully understand but which
they trust as fair and comparable to
other finance offerings. And now,
the automakers have subverted the

A P R to become a tool o f deception.
The A P R misleads instead o f clarify­
ing. It is a travesty instead o f truth.
Again the explanation is simple.
I f a buyer must give up a rebate to
take advantage o f the “ low-rate” fi­
nancing, then the forfeited rebate is
an obvious cost o f financing to the
buyer. The forfeited rebate is akin to
a pre-paid finance charge. Depend­
ing upon the many variables, 2.9 %
really is 19.25% (see our ad), 3.9%
truly is 10.50%, or 8.25% or 10.25%
(see analysis), or 7.5% becomes
13.0%, etc.
And the automakers now have
chosen to further confuse by adding
specific dollar “ savings” in their ad­
vertising. These are equally decep­
tive and inaccurate, (see analysis).
And again, the forfeited rebate
which they choose to ignore is the
culprit which costs the public dear­
ly*
None o f this confusion or decep­
tion would be possible if the auto­
makers followed the spirit and in­
tent o f Truth-in-Lending. But they
rely upon a loophole, questionable
but perhaps technically legal, which
they assert fits their unique relation­
ship between automaker, subsidiary
finance company, dealers, and pub­
lic. A s a result, the FTC, which has
enforcement responsibility over the
finance companies, has chosen to
take no action. The Federal Reserve
System has opted to refer this situa­
tion to its Consumer A dvisory
Council which, in turn, has post­

visory Council involved.
The Solution ,
The solution lies in Washington,
D.C. The Truth-in-Lending legisla­
tion gave the Federal Reserve Sys­
tem rulewriting authority to draft
the regulations to implement the
act. The specifics o f the regulations
are complex but the intent o f the law
is simple. The Fed can determine
whether change can be accomplished
under its rulewriting authority, or
whether Congress must amend.
Such a change has many friends in
Washington, but voices must be
heard. Banking has allies. The credit
unions may be even more negatively
impacted than banks. Some, for
strange reasons, say that the public
will blame banking is such “ lowrate” financing is outlawed, but
banking “ wears the white hats” and
truth is on our side. I f we are afraid
to promote our cause when it coin­
cides with the public interest, then
we may as well fold our tents on any­
thing.
It is tough to do much from Milaca, Minn., or Alamo, Tex., or Douglasville, Ga., but together banks,
consumer groups, credit unions, and
their associations can develop the
counsel, initiatives, and support to
mandate a change. W e owe it to our
constituencies.
