During the three (3) decades that I have served on committees, boards, and safety investigation fraud teams, I have had the opportunity to review and study many fragmented training programs. Your Professional Collateral Certification Program is by far and away the ultimate tool for owners of investigation and recovery companies. At this juncture, I would never recommend membership and / or entry into any association and / or group without compliance by and for your program.

This course requires extensive knowledge in all legal aspects protecting both the owners and the lien holders. Once a party has passed this study by test; he will be able to conduct all his life activities as a professional and therefore serve the industry and the financial community with less risk to himself or others.

You and Elizabeth are to be highly commended for the dedication and time you have spent researching and writing this manual. I am in great hope that the very near future brings a requirement by all states, licensed or not, to require certification under this program. On behalf of all intelligent recovery specialists I wish to say thank you and offer my total support in this endeavor.

Mr. Joe Taylor

I am writing in repsonse to your letter of May 24 requesting approval for your recovery training facility to administer a course using a home study/correspondence curriculum.

I have carefully reviewed the educational materials you submitted for our approval. The Florida edition of the Certified Asset Recovery Specialist (C.A.R.S.®) instructional materials meets or exceeds all recovery agent training requirements specified in Chapter 493, Florida Statutes, or Rule 1C-3, 140, Florida Administrative Code. The Division hereby approves those materials and grants its approval for you to teach the recovery agent correspondence course….

Sincerely yours,

Arthur V. Varnadore
Chief, Bureau of Regulation and Enforcement

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor,

I am not one to endorse a product and cannot remember the last time I did!!! Today I finished my studies on the C.A.R.S.® course. It is incredible the information that is contained within the pages of this course. After 16 years in the industry I thought I knew it all. I was wrong! Mr. Taylor, I tip my hat to you and your wife Elizabeth for the work that you have done on this course. I strongly believe that this course should be MANDATORY for anyone doing business in our industry. Effective immediately every one of our agents and investigators will be required to study and pass this course prior to May 15th, 2003 in order to stay employed by our agency. If you ask me, your course is under priced for the knowledge that you supply.

I will see you at the TFA Convention in Dallas in a few days.

I have posted a copy of this e-mail in Repoland.com forums section!

Joe,

Just a short note to say thanks for the training. 2 years ago, I started working at a recovery agency in Florida and took your course.

Here in Arizona, there's no real prerequisites for working in the industry. Lack of regulation is really apparent when you see some of the nutty stuff the guys at the fly-by night agencies will do. I showed up here knowing better.

Having the certification also helped in job interviews, although it actually worked against me at one place, as the owner wanted to know if I was one of those "by the rules guys." I didn't like the sound of that, and we wrapped up the interview pretty quickly after that. I'd hate to be his insurance man…

Anyway, your training kept me honest and safe until experience had a chance to catch up. I learn something new every day, and I appreciate the foundation that I started with.

I ended up with a fantastic agency, and truly look forward to going in every day (and night) Once again, thanks.

I have not forgotten my first duty, and I have no beef with the man in the glass.

My best to Elizabeth.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Dear Mrs. Taylor,

I have been in the recovery business for 40 years in various positions with major banks and my own company. I thought I knew everything. Not true. Great course. Major Forwarders should only use C.A.R.S.® agents primarily for their own protection.

Thanks,

I have reviewed your National Certification Program extensively and I am convinced that is the most invaluable "tool" in reducing the potential for liability, litigation and insurance claims within the Asset Recovery Industry.

The comprehensive curriculum contained in this program should be required study for, not only those seeking to enter the Asset Recovery Industry, but also for those who are already a part of this profession.

I commend you for the thoroughness and professionalism you have shown in developing this unique and valuable product.

To Whom It May Concern:

I received this training manual from Joe Taylor in its beginning stages. Upon review, page by page, I must say this is the most comprehensive binding of material ever compiled for the recovery industry.

I would not only recommend that every agency have one, but feel this is the most important tool any Professional Recovery Agency would feel they must have!

Sincerely,
Rusty Ansell
American Finance Adjusters, CEO


To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to recommend the Collateral Recovery Agent Training Manual for anyone who is entering into the field of Collateral Recovery Agent. The information provided in the manual proved to be very thorough and informative. The language in the manual was very well written and was easy to understand, which made learning much easier.

The best thing about the Collateral Recovery Agent course was the outstanding help received from Joe and Elizabeth Taylor, also the authors of the manual. They took the time to answer all my questions and scheduled the testing date around my busy schedule. I feel they went beyond the normal call of duty and they made every effort to ensure I got my license in a very timely manner.

Thanks to the Matrix Educational Systems, Inc. and Joe and Elizabeth Taylor for an outstanding program for Recovery Agent Training. I am now in the process of opening my own business and I feel that I have the confidence and proper training needed to succeed.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Klepinger

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for joining hands with PRIME to distribute your certification program to all the PRIME insured offices. It is the opinion of all of the directors of PRIME that your certification program is the most comprehensive material available to the collateral recovery industry. I am of the opinion that not only the recovery agents need to use the program, it should be distributed to the lending institutions that use our services. I have personally handed out five of your programs to various banks and finance companies.

Because the program is a distance education course, the material can reach more recovery companies faster and therefore help raise the bar on professionalism.

Dear Joe,

In reviewing your National Certification Program, individually, with our Board, as well as other members, we find this is the best work on the subject, to date.

Our associates agree this work, if studied and digested would qualify one for certification.
