In
1961 The California Association of Licensed Repossessors (CALR) was
incorporated.CALR is composed of
men and women who are dedicated to improving the Collateral Recovery
Industry. Our purpose is to strengthen understanding between licensees,
law enforcement, financial institutions, regulatory agencies and the
consumer. We provide our members continuing education in the fields of
public relations, business principles and professionalism in the
Collateral Recovery Industry.
CALR
is pro-active in introducing and passing legislation in California. We are the largest and oldest state repossession trade association in the US.
Many states look to California for guidance in enacting and passing legislation in their individual states including a leading
platform for other states to enact recovery agency licensing.
