Consumer Portfolio Services Inc (CPSS) is a specialized finance company dedicated to providing indirect automobile financing to individuals who face challenges such as past credit problems, low incomes, or limited credit histories. Founded in 1991, the company has built a robust portfolio by purchasing retail installment sales contracts from automobile dealerships. These contracts are primarily secured by late-model used vehicles, with a minor portion involving new vehicles.
The company's core business involves acquiring these contracts from franchised and select independent dealerships across the United States.

CPSS funds its contract purchases primarily through the securitization markets, ensuring long-term stability and sustainability. The company then services these contracts over their entire lifespan, maintaining a steady revenue stream and fostering lasting relationships with its customers. As of June 2015, CPSS has purchased over $11.8 billion in contracts and is currently servicing a managed portfolio worth approximately $1.8 billion, encompassing around 140,000 customers.
