How the CBF Recovery Engine Works
Underwriting architecture built by Volve Media mirroring South African bank tier requirements.
Not all declined leads are recoverable. We strictly qualify applicants up front so only buyers we know we can get approved and into a car actually enter the CBF system.
- Strict Feasibility Triage: Screened for viable income and realistic qualification horizons.
- Zero Wasted Time: Non-recoverable files are filtered out immediately.
- Dealership Lock: Qualified buyer is permanently bound to your store ID.
Without documents, no lead can be diagnosed. We collect financial records to run applicants through our bank-tier system and discover the exact root cause of decline.
- Rapid Document Ingestion: 3 months' bank statements, payslips, and bureau reports collected.
- Bank-Tier Scorecard Audit: Leads are run against Tier-1 bank underwriting rules (WesBank, MFC, Absa).
- Root-Cause Pinpointed: Identifies whether the barrier is DTI capacity, adverse listing, or sweep conduct.
Once the exact cause of decline is identified in Phase 2, our analysts execute the specific roadmap required to fix the financial statements and ensure clean bank re-application.
- Targeted Remediation: Analysts resolve the specific triggers that triggered the initial bank decline.
- Statement Conduct Cleanse: 90 consecutive days of clean banking: zero unpaid debits & stabilized liquidity.
- Clean Bank Resubmission: Buyer is fully seasoned to pass Tier-1 bank automated scoring on re-entry.
- Active Floor Stock Alignment: Pre-qualified for an approved installment envelope (e.g. R4.2k/mo), avoiding 'ghost car' delays.
The next step (Step 03: Case Studies & Timelines) explains exactly how Phase 3 is executed in practice—revealing the forensic bank statement restructuring, adverse dispute settlements, and the mathematical recovery bell curve across 30, 90, and 180-day horizons.
