Navigating Historic Subprime Delinquencies
As we move through 2026, the economic narrative is shifting. While headlines suggest that inflation is finally moderating, a quieter, more localized risk is wreaking havoc on the credit market. This modern day economic squeeze has led to a sobering milestone.
According to the latest TransUnion 2026 Consumer Credit Forecast, auto loan delinquencies (60+ days past due) are projected to climb for the fifth consecutive year. While broader markets show perseverance, the subprime segment has hit a breaking point, with high-risk delinquency rates reaching all-time highs.
For auto lenders, this isn’t just a statistic, it’s a call to modernize loss mitigation strategies. When delinquencies hit historic highs, traditional, manual recovery methods aren’t just slow, they’re unsustainable.
The New Normal for Asset Recovery
In this economic environment, the low-hanging fruit of asset recovery disappears. Borrowers facing extreme financial pressure become more difficult to locate, and the time-to-recovery expands, leading to rapid asset depreciation.
To stay ahead, lenders need more than just a recovery agent. They need a technology-first strategy. This is where MVTRAC steps in.

With subprime delinquencies at record levels, the sheer volume of cases can overwhelm internal collections teams. MVTRAC’s proprietary automation technology acts as a force multiplier for your recovery efforts by using:
- Real-Time Data Integration: We don’t wait for “batch” updates. Our systems utilize massive, real-time data streams to identify the location of collateral instantly.
