ADD helps repo agencies save precious time and effort when completing the notification process. Take advantage of ADD’s DirectPost-Office electronic certified mail services to create and send your property notices.

Auto Data Direct, Inc. (ADD) prides itself on offering services that enable customers to easily comply with the myriad of statutes and regulations that govern their industries. One such service is DirectPost-Office (DPO), a web- based certified mail tool that allows users to complete forms online and electronically create certified letters to be mailed out via the US Postal Service. DPO saves you the cost of ink, paper and envelopes, as well as saving you the time spent filling out forms and making trips to the post office.

As repossession agents, you are aware that Florida Statute 493.6402 (2) requires a repossession agent to send a notice, by certified mail, to the vehicle owner advising that the personnel effects inside the vehicle at the time of repossession have been removed from the vehicle, inventoried, placed in storage, and may be retrieved.

What you may not know is that this property notice form is available through your ADD account, and can save you time and effort when completing the notification process. ADD’s DirectPost-Office system allows you to pull the real-time vehicle owner data from the state database, use that information to complete the Notice of Impound letter and send it to the owner via certified mail – right from your computer, in a matter of minutes. DPO offers repossession agents several advantages:

  • Accuracy. The property notice form is populated with vehicle and owner information obtained in real time, directly from the DMV123 real-time state search accessed to through your ADD account. This eliminates errors and ensures that the property notice is mailed to the correct owner and address, as it appears in the DHSMV database.

  • Security. ADD’s certified mail forms, including the property notice, are printed and mailed for you, through the DPO system. This not only helps to ensure that the envelope is addressed correctly but prevents you from accidentally mailing an empty envelope or mailing the form to an incorrect address.

  • Tracking. ADD’s DirectPost-Office protects you by tracking your certified letters and providing proof of delivery. Copies of your property notices, as well as proof of mailing and delivery are available in you DPO archive, in case it is needed later to deal with a complaint or the Division of Licensing request.
