1    The Class A Certificates  will have the benefit of an FSA Insurance  Policy
     which will guarantee timely interest and ultimate principal.  FSA will have
     first  priority on a reserve  account (the "Spread  Account").  The Class B
     Certificateholders will have the benefit of (i) current period subordinated
     excess  interest  ("Excess  Spread")  and (ii)  releases  from  the  Spread
     Account, if any, prior to distribution to CPS. Excess Spread, equivalent to
     the weighted  average gross coupon on the  Receivables  less the sum of the
     Servicing Fee, the weighted average coupon on the Certificates, and certain
     other transaction  expenses,  is expected to be approximately  [11.80]% per
     annum  at  the  Settlement  Date.  Excess  Spread  over  the  life  of  the
     transaction is dependent,  among other things,  upon the actual  prepayment
     and default experience of the transaction,  as to which no assurance can be
     given.

The Certificates:             Asset  backed  certificates  issued in two classes
                              (the  "Class  A  Certificates"  and the  "Class  B
                              Certificates", collectively the "Certificates") by
                              a grantor  trust (the "Trust") to be formed by CPS
                              Receivables  Corp. (the "Seller"),  a wholly-owned
                              bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Consumer Portfolio
                              Services,  Inc. ("CPS").  The Certificates will be
                              secured  by,  among  other   assets,   a  pool  of
                              sub-prime  motor vehicle retail  installment  sale
                              contracts (the  "Receivables")  secured by new and
                              used automobiles,  vans and light duty trucks (the
                              "Financed Vehicles") aggregating  $[95,000,000] in
                              principal  amount (the "Initial Pool  Balance") as
                              of December [16], 1996 (the "Cut-off  Date").  The
                              Receivables,  which will provide for level monthly
                              payments (with  interest and principal  calculated
                              pursuant  to  Rule  of 78's  and  simple  interest
                              methods),  were purchased by CPS from approved new
                              and used automobile  dealers and finance companies
                              located  primarily  in the  states of  California,
                              Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas.

                              Each   Certificate   will   evidence    beneficial
                              ownership of an  undivided  interest in the Trust.
                              The Class A  Certificates  will  evidence,  in the
                              aggregate,  beneficial  ownership  of an undivided
                              interest in the Trust equal to [95]% (the "Class A
                              Percentage")  of the Trust  Assets (not  including
                              any  interest  received  by the Trust in excess of
                              the  Class  A  Pass-Through  Rate).  The  Class  B
                              Certificates  will  evidence,  in  the  aggregate,
                              beneficial  ownership of an undivided  interest in
                              the Trust equal to [5]% (the "Class B Percentage")
                              of the Trust  Assets (not  including  any interest
                              received  by the  Trust in  excess  of the Class B
                              Pass-Through Rate).

                              The rights of the Class B Certificates  to receive
                              distributions  will be  subordinated to the rights
                              of the Class A  Certificates  and the  Certificate
                              Insurer.

                              be made on the 15th of each month (or, if the 15th
                              is  not  a  Business  Day,  the  next   succeeding
                              Business  Day)  (each,  a  "Distribution   Date"),
                              commencing  January 15, 1997,  to the extent funds
                              are   available   therefor,   in  an  amount  (the
                              "Certificateholders'     Interest    Distributable
                              Amount")  equal,  with  respect  to each  class of
                              Certificates,  to interest  accrued thereon at the
                              Class  A  Pass-  Through  Rate  and  the  Class  B
                              Pass-Through  Rate,  respectively,  in the case of
                              the initial  Distribution  Date, from December 19,
                              1996 through and including  January 14, 1997,  and
                              with respect to each subsequent Distribution Date,
                              for  the  one  month  period  (each,  an  "Accrual
                              Period")  commencing  on the  15th  of  the  month
                              immediately  preceding such  Distribution Date and
                              ending on the 14th day of the month in which  such
                              Distribution   Date   occurs.   Distributions   of
                              interest  will  be made on a pro  rata  basis  (to
                              holders  of  record  as of the  last  day of  each
                              accrual  period,  each  a  "Record  Date")  on the
                              Certificates.  Distributions  of interest  will be
                              calculated   on  the  basis  of  12  months   each
                              consisting of 30 days.

                              Distributions of principal on the Certificates, to
                              the extent funds are available  therefor,  will be
                              distributed (a) to the Class A  Certificateholders
                              as of the related  Record Date in an amount  equal
                              to  the  Class  A  Percentage   of  the  Principal

                              Percentage of the Principal  Distributable Amount.
                              The   "Principal   Distributable   Amount"  for  a
                              Distribution  Date  will  equal the sum of (i) the
                              principal  portion of all scheduled  Distributions
                              received  during  the  preceding   calendar  month

                              amounts applied from the Pay Ahead Account related
                              to such Receivable) of such Receivables; (iii) the

                              by the  Originator  or Servicer as of the last day

Priority of
Distributions:                On  each   Distribution   Date  available   funds,
                              together  with any Spread  Account  Draw,  will be
                              allocated by the Trustee in the following order:

                                (i)  To  the   Servicer   (if  CPS  is  not  the
                                     Servicer),  the Servicing Fee of 2.12% (212
                                     basis points) per annum; provided, however,
                                     that  as long  as CPS is the  Servicer  and
                                     Norwest  is  the  Stand-by  Servicer,   the
                                     Trustee will first pay the Standby Servicer
                                     out of the Servicing Fee otherwise  payable
                                     to CPS an amount equal to the Standby Fee;

                                (ii) in the event the  Standby  Servicer  or any
                                     other party becomes the successor Servicer,
                                     to   the   Standby   Servicer,   reasonable
                                     transition  expenses  (up to a  maximum  of
                                     $50,000)  incurred  in acting as  successor
                                     Servicer;

                                (iii)to the  Trustee,  the Trustee Fee and other
                                     reasonable expenses;

                                (iv) to  the  Collateral  Agent,  all  fees  and
                                     expenses  payable to the  Collateral  Agent
                                     with respect to such Distribution Date;

                                (v)  to  the  Class  A  Certificateholders,  the
                                     related  Interest   Distributable   Amount,
                                     together   with  any  Class  A  Certificate
                                     Interest  Carryover  Shortfall  Amount  for
                                     such Distribution Date;

                                (vi) to Holders of the Class B Certificates, the
                                     related  Interest   Distributable   Amount,
                                     together   with  any  Class  B  Certificate
                                     Interest  Carryover  Shortfall  Amount  for
                                     such Distribution Date;

                                (vii)to  Holders  of the  Class A  Certificates,
                                     the related Class A Principal Distributable
                                     Amount  and  Class  A  Principal  Carryover
                                     Shortfall Amount;

                                (viii) to FSA,  any  amounts due under the terms
                                     of the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement and
                                     under the Insurance Agreement;

                                (ix) to Holders of the Class B Certificates, the
                                     related  Class  B  Principal  Distributable
                                     Amount  and  Class  B  Principal  Carryover
                                     Shortfall Amount; and

                                (x)  to the Collateral  Agent,  for deposit into
                                     the Spread  Account,  the  remaining  Total
                                     Distribution Amount, if any.

Spread Account:               FSA will have the  benefit  of a  reserve  account
                              (the "Spread Account") established by CPS with the
                              Collateral  Agent  pursuant  to  a  Master  Spread
                              Account Agreement.

Tax Status of the
Trust:                        Mayer,  Brown & Platt will deliver an opinion that
                              the Trust will be  treated as a grantor  trust for
                              federal  income  tax  purposes  and  will  not  be
                              subject  to   federal   income   tax.   Owners  of
                              beneficial  interests  in  the  Certificates  will
                              report  their pro rata share of all income  earned
                              on the  Receivables  (other than amounts,  if any,
                              treated as  "stripped  coupons")  and,  subject to
                              certain limitations in the case of such owners who
                              are  individuals,  trust or  estates,  may  deduct
                              their pro rata share of  reasonable  servicing and
                              other fees.  Prospective investors must review the
                              Prospectus  and  Prospectus  Supplement for a more
                              detailed description of these matters.

ERISA Eligibility:            The  Class  A   Certificates   will  generally  be
                              permitted  to be held by  employee  benefit  plans
                              subject  to  ERISA.   Prospective  investors  must
                              review the Prospectus  and  Prospectus  Supplement
                              for a more detailed description of these matters.

Record Date:                  The 10th day of each calendar month.

Optional Redemption:          The  Servicer  may at its option  purchase all the
                              Receivables  as of the last day of any  Collection
                              Period on or after which the  aggregate  principal
                              balance of the Receivables is equal to 10% or less
                              of the Original Pool Balance,  at a purchase price
                              equal to the  aggregate  principal  balance of the
                              Receivables,   plus   accrued   interest   at  the
                              respective APRs.

The Originator/
Servicer:                     CPS was incorporated in the State of California in
                              1991. CPS and its subsidiaries engage primarily in
                              the business of purchasing,  selling and servicing
                              retail  installment sales contracts  ("Contracts")
                              made  to  borrowers  who  generally  would  not be
                              expected  to  qualify  for  traditional  financing
                              because of  factors  generally  including  limited
                              credit history,  lower than average income or past
                              credit  problems.  CPS purchases  Contracts,  at a
                              discount  ranging from 0% to 8%, from dealers with
                              whom it has dealer agreements  ("Dealers") in [34]
                              States. In addition to any discount, CPS generally
                              charges  Dealers an acquisition  fee to defray the
                              direct  administrative  costs  associated with the
                              processing  of  Contracts   that  are   ultimately
                              purchased by CPS.

                              CPS  purchases  Contracts  from  Dealers  with the
                              intent  to  resell   them.   CPS  also   purchases
                              Contracts   from  third  parties  that  have  been
                              originated  by  others.  Contracts  have been sold
                              both as bulk sales to institutional  investors and
                              through securitization transactions.

Underwriting                  CPS originates Contracts under three programs: the
                              Standard Program, the Alpha Program, and the Delta
                              Program.   The  Alpha   program  is   designed  to
                              accommodate  applicants  who generally  exceed the
                              requirements of the Standard Program in respect of
                              job stability,  residence stability,  income level
                              or the  nature of the  credit  history.  The Delta
                              Program is designed to accommodate  applicants who
                              may  not  meet  all  of  the  requirements  of the
                              Standard  Program  but  are  deemed  by  CPS to be
                              generally  as  creditworthy  as  Standard  Program
                              applicants.  CPS determines  whether to purchase a
                              Contract  based  principally  on  the  applicant's
                              creditworthiness  and the collateral  value of the
                              financed  vehicle.  Upon receipt of an application
                              from a Dealer,  CPS obtains  credit  reports  from
                              three  credit  bureaus.  A CPS loan  officer  will
                              review  the  credit  application,   credit  bureau
                              report,  and a one  page  Dealer  summary  of  the
                              proposed transaction and will either conditionally
                              approve  or  reject  the  application,   generally
                              within one  business  day of receipt of the credit
                              application.  Based in part on the  conditions  to
                              approval,  the  Dealer and  applicant  file a more
                              complete  application  package which  initially is
                              reviewed by a CPS processor for  deficiencies.  As
                              part  of  this  review,  references  are  checked,
                              direct  calls  are  made  to  the   applicant  and
                              employment,   income,   residence   and  insurance
                              verification   are   performed.    Next,   a   CPS
                              underwriter   confirms  the  satisfaction  of  any
                              remaining deficiencies in the application package.
                              Finally, a loan review officer reviews the package
                              for   deficiencies    prior   to   funding.    CPS
                              conditionally  approves  approximately  50% of the
                              credit  applications  it receives  and  ultimately
                              purchases   approximately   20%  of  the  received
                              applications.

                              Generally,  the  amount  funded  by CPS  will  not
                              exceed,  in the  case  of new  cars,  110%  of the
                              dealer invoice, and in the case of used cars, 115%
                              of the  value  quoted  in  industry  accepted  car
                              guides (such as the Kelley  Wholesale  Blue Book),
                              in each case plus taxes,  license fees,  insurance
                              and the cost of any service contract.  The maximum
                              amount  that  will  be  financed  on  any  vehicle
                              generally  will not exceed  $25,000.  The  maximum
                              term of the Contract depends  primarily on the age
                              of the vehicle and its mileage. Vehicles having in
                              excess of 80,000 miles will not be financed.

                              The minimum  downpayment  required on the purchase
                              of a  vehicle  is  generally  10%  to  15%  of the
                              purchase  price.  The  downpayment  may be made in
                              cash,   and/or  with  a  trade-in   car,  and,  if
                              available,  a proven  manufacturer's rebate (which
                              rebate  cannot  comprise  more  than  50%  of  the
                              downpayment).

Servicing and
Collections:                  CPS  continues  to service  all  Contracts  it has
                              purchased,   including   those   it  has  sold  to
                              institutional investors.  CPS's Contract servicing
                              activities  consist of collecting,  accounting for
                              and posting all  payments,  responding to borrower
                              inquiries,  taking  steps to maintain the security
                              interest   in  the   financed   vehicle  or  other
                              collateral,      investigating      delinquencies,
                              repossessing   and  liquidating   collateral  when
                              necessary,  and generally monitoring each 


                                       -4-

<PAGE>

                              Contract  and related  collateral.  CPS  maintains
                              sophisticated   data   processing  and  management
                              information   systems  to  support  its   Contract
                              servicing activities.

                              If an  account  becomes  six days past due,  CPS's
                              collection staff typically attempts to contact the
                              borrower  with  the  aid  of  an  auto  dialer.  A
                              collection officer tries to establish contact with
                              the  customer  and  obtain a  promise  to make the
                              overdue  payment  within seven days. If payment is
                              not  received by the end of such seven day period,
                              the  customer  is called  again  through  the auto
                              dialer system and the collection  officer attempts
                              to  elicit a second  promise  to make the  overdue
                              payment  within seven days. If a second promise to
                              make the  overdue  payment is not  satisfied,  the
                              account  automatically is referred to a supervisor
                              for  further  action.  If the  customer  cannot be
                              reached  by a  collection  officer,  a  letter  is
                              automatically   generated   and   the   customer's
                              references  are  contacted.  Field agents (who are
                              independent   contractors)  often  make  calls  on
                              customers who are  unreachable or whose payment is
                              thirty  days or more  delinquent.  A  decision  to
                              repossess  the vehicle is generally  made after 30
                              to 90 days of  delinquency  or  three  unfulfilled
                              promises to make the overdue payment.

The  attached  tables  and  other  statistical   analyses  (the   "Computational
Materials")  are  privileged  and  confidential  and  intended  for  use  by the
addressee  only.  These  Computational  Materials are furnished to you solely by
Greenwich  Capital Markets,  Inc. and not by the issuer of the securities or any
of its  affiliates.  They may not be  provided to any third party other than the
addressee's legal, tax, financial and/or accounting advisors for the purposes of
evaluating said material. Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. is not acting as agent
for the  issuer of the  securities  or its  affiliates  in  connection  with the
proposed transaction.

Numerous  assumptions were used in preparing the  Computational  Materials which
may or may not be reflected  therein.  As such,  no assurance can be given as to
either the Computational Materials' accuracy, appropriateness or completeness in
any particular context; nor as to whether the Computational Materials and/or the
assumptions  upon which they are based  reflect  present  market  conditions  or
future market performance. These Computational Materials should not be construed
as either  projections or predictions or as legal, tax,  financial or accounting
advice.

Any yields or weighted  average lives shown in the  Computational  Materials are
based on prepayment assumptions,  and changes in such prepayment assumptions may
dramatically  affect such yields or weighted  average lives. In addition,  it is
possible that prepayments on the underlying assets will occur at rates slower or
faster  than  the  rates  shown  in  the   attached   Computational   Materials.
Furthermore,  unless otherwise provided,  the Computational  Materials assume no
losses  on  the  underlying  assets  and no  interest  shortfall.  The  specific
characteristics   of  the   securities  may  differ  from  those  shown  in  the
Computational  Materials due to differences between the actual underlying assets
and the  hypothetical  underlying  assets used in  preparing  the  Computational
Materials. The principal amount and designation of any security described in the
Computational Materials are subject to change prior to issuance.

1    The Class A Certificates  will have the benefit of an FSA Insurance  Policy
     which will guarantee timely interest and ultimate principal.  FSA will have
     first  priority on a reserve  account (the "Spread  Account").  The Class B
     Certificateholders will have the benefit of (i) current period subordinated
     excess  interest  ("Excess  Spread")  and (ii)  releases  from  the  Spread
     Account, if any, prior to distribution to CPS. Excess Spread, equivalent to
     the weighted  average gross coupon on the  Receivables  less the sum of the
     Servicing Fee, the weighted average coupon on the Certificates, and certain
     other transaction  expenses,  is expected to be approximately  [11.80]% per
     annum  at  the  Settlement  Date.  Excess  Spread  over  the  life  of  the
     transaction is dependent,  among other things,  upon the actual  prepayment
     and default experience of the transaction,  as to which no assurance can be
     given.

The Certificates:             Asset  backed  certificates  issued in two classes
                              (the  "Class  A  Certificates"  and the  "Class  B
                              Certificates", collectively the "Certificates") by
                              a grantor  trust (the "Trust") to be formed by CPS
                              Receivables  Corp. (the "Seller"),  a wholly-owned
                              bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Consumer Portfolio
                              Services,  Inc. ("CPS").  The Certificates will be
                              secured  by,  among  other   assets,   a  pool  of
                              sub-prime  motor vehicle retail  installment  sale
                              contracts (the  "Receivables")  secured by new and
                              used automobiles,  vans and light duty trucks (the
                              "Financed Vehicles") aggregating  $[95,000,000] in
                              principal  amount (the "Initial Pool  Balance") as
                              of December [16], 1996 (the "Cut-off  Date").  The
                              Receivables,  which will provide for level monthly
                              payments (with  interest and principal  calculated
                              pursuant  to  Rule  of 78's  and  simple  interest
                              methods),  were purchased by CPS from approved new
                              and used automobile  dealers and finance companies
                              located  primarily  in the  states of  California,
                              Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas.

                              Each   Certificate   will   evidence    beneficial
                              ownership of an  undivided  interest in the Trust.
                              The Class A  Certificates  will  evidence,  in the
                              aggregate,  beneficial  ownership  of an undivided
                              interest in the Trust equal to [95]% (the "Class A
                              Percentage")  of the Trust  Assets (not  including
                              any  interest  received  by the Trust in excess of
                              the  Class  A  Pass-Through  Rate).  The  Class  B
                              Certificates  will  evidence,  in  the  aggregate,
                              beneficial  ownership of an undivided  interest in
                              the Trust equal to [5]% (the "Class B Percentage")
                              of the Trust  Assets (not  including  any interest
                              received  by the  Trust in  excess  of the Class B
                              Pass-Through Rate).

                              The rights of the Class B Certificates  to receive
                              distributions  will be  subordinated to the rights
                              of the Class A  Certificates  and the  Certificate
                              Insurer.

                              is  not  a  Business  Day,  the  next   succeeding
                              Business  Day)  (each,  a  "Distribution   Date"),
                              commencing  January 15, 1997,  to the extent funds

                              Certificates,  to interest  accrued thereon at the
                              Class  A   Pass-Through   Rate  and  the  Class  B
                              Pass-Through  Rate,  respectively,  in the case of

                              Period")  commencing  on the  15th  of  the  month
                              immediately  preceding such  Distribution Date and
                              ending on the 14th day of the month in which  such
                              Distribution   Date   occurs.   Distributions   of
                              interest  will  be made on a pro  rata  basis  (to
                              holders  of  record  as of the  last  day of  each
                              accrual  period,  each  a  "Record  Date")  on the

                              consisting of 30 days.

                              the extent funds are available  therefor,  will be

                              Percentage of the Principal  Distributable Amount.
                              The   "Principal   Distributable   Amount"  for  a

                                (iii)to the  Trustee,  the Trustee Fee and other

                                (iv) to  the  Collateral  Agent,  all  fees  and

                                     with respect to such Distribution Date;

                                (v)  to  the  Class  A  Certificateholders,  the

                                     Shortfall Amount; and

                                (x)  to the Collateral  Agent,  for deposit into

                                     Distribution Amount, if any.

Tax Status of the

                              subject  to  ERISA.   Prospective  investors  must
                              review the Prospectus  and  Prospectus  Supplement
                              for a more detailed description of these matters.

Record Date:                  The 10th day of each calendar month.

Optional Redemption:          The  Servicer  may at its option  purchase all the
                              Receivables  as of the last day of any  Collection
                              Period on or after which the  aggregate  principal
                              balance of the Receivables is equal to 10% or less
                              of the Original Pool Balance,  at a purchase price
                              equal to the  aggregate  principal  balance of the
                              Receivables,   plus   accrued   interest   at  the
                              respective APRs.

The Originator/Servicer:      CPS was incorporated in the State of California in
                              1991. CPS and its subsidiaries engage primarily in
                              the business of purchasing,  selling and servicing
                              retail  installment sales contracts  ("Contracts")
                              made  to  borrowers  who  generally  would  not be
                              expected  to  qualify  for  traditional  financing
                              because of  factors  generally  including  limited
                              credit history,  lower than average income or past
                              credit  problems.  CPS purchases  Contracts,  at a
                              discount  ranging from 0% to 8%, from dealers with
                              whom it has dealer agreements  ("Dealers") in [34]
                              States. In addition to any discount, CPS generally
                              charges  Dealers an acquisition  fee to defray the
                              direct  administrative  costs  associated with the
                              processing  of  Contracts   that  are   ultimately
                              purchased by CPS.

                              CPS  purchases  Contracts  from  Dealers  with the
                              intent  to  resell   them.   CPS  also   purchases
                              Contracts   from  third  parties  that  have  been
                              originated  by  others.  Contracts  have been sold
                              both as bulk sales to institutional  investors and
                              through securitization transactions.

                              Underwriting

                              CPS originates Contracts under three programs: the
                              Standard Program, the Alpha Program, and the Delta
                              Program.   The  Alpha   program  is   designed  to
                              accommodate  applicants  who generally  exceed the
                              requirements of the Standard Program in respect of
                              job stability,  residence stability,  income level
                              or the  nature of the  credit  history.  The Delta
                              Program is designed to accommodate  applicants who
                              may  not  meet  all  of  the  requirements  of the
                              Standard  Program  but  are  deemed  by  CPS to be
                              generally  as  creditworthy  as  Standard  Program
                              applicants.  CPS determines  whether to purchase a
                              Contract  based  principally  on  the  applicant's
                              creditworthiness  and the collateral  value of the
                              financed  vehicle.  Upon receipt of an application
                              from a Dealer,  CPS obtains  credit  reports  from
                              three  credit  bureaus.  A CPS loan  officer  will
                              review  the  credit  application,   credit  bureau
                              report,  and a one  page  Dealer  summary  of  the
                              proposed transaction and will either conditionally
                              approve  or  reject  the  application,   generally
                              within one  business  day of receipt of the credit
                              application.  Based in part on the  conditions  to
                              approval,  the  Dealer and  applicant  file a more
                              complete  application  package which  initially is
                              reviewed by a CPS processor for  deficiencies.  As
                              part  of  this  review,  references  are

                                       4

<PAGE>

                              checked,  direct  calls are made to the  applicant
                              and  employment,  income,  residence and insurance
                              verification   are   performed.    Next,   a   CPS
                              underwriter   confirms  the  satisfaction  of  any
                              remaining deficiencies in the application package.
                              Finally, a loan review officer reviews the package
                              for   deficiencies    prior   to   funding.    CPS
                              conditionally  approves  approximately  50% of the
                              credit  applications  it receives  and  ultimately
                              purchases   approximately   20%  of  the  received
                              applications.

                              Generally,  the  amount  funded  by CPS  will  not
                              exceed,  in the  case  of new  cars,  110%  of the
                              dealer invoice, and in the case of used cars, 115%
                              of the  value  quoted  in  industry  accepted  car
                              guides (such as the Kelley  Wholesale  Blue Book),
                              in each case plus taxes,  license fees,  insurance
                              and the cost of any service contract.  The maximum
                              amount  that  will  be  financed  on  any  vehicle
                              generally  will not exceed  $25,000.  The  maximum
                              term of the Contract depends  primarily on the age
                              of the vehicle and its mileage. Vehicles having in
                              excess of 80,000 miles will not be financed.

                              The minimum  downpayment  required on the purchase
                              of a  vehicle  is  generally  10%  to  15%  of the
                              purchase  price.  The  downpayment  may be made in
                              cash,   and/or  with  a  trade-in   car,  and,  if
                              available,  a proven  manufacturer's rebate (which
                              rebate  cannot  comprise  more  than  50%  of  the
                              downpayment).

                              Servicing and Collections

                              CPS  continues  to service  all  Contracts  it has
                              purchased,   including   those   it  has  sold  to
                              institutional investors.  CPS's Contract servicing
                              activities  consist of collecting,  accounting for
                              and posting all  payments,  responding to borrower
                              inquiries,  taking  steps to maintain the security
                              interest   in  the   financed   vehicle  or  other
                              collateral,      investigating      delinquencies,
                              repossessing   and  liquidating   collateral  when
                              necessary,  and generally monitoring each Contract
                              and    related    collateral.     CPS    maintains
                              sophisticated   data   processing   and  mangement
                              information   systems  to  support  its   Contract
                              servicing activities.

                              If an  account  becomes  six days past due,  CPS's
                              collection staff typically attempts to contact the
                              borrower  with  the  aid  of  an  auto  dialer.  A
                              collection officer tries to establish contact with
                              the  customer  and  obtain a  promise  to make the
                              overdue  payment  within seven days. If payment is
                              not  received by the end of such seven day period,
                              the  customer  is called  again  through  the auto
                              dialer system and the collection  officer attempts
                              to  elicit a second  promise  to make the  overdue
                              payment  within seven days. If a second promise to
                              make the  overdue  payment is not  satisfied,  the
                              account  automatically is referred to a supervisor
                              for  further  action.  If the  customer  cannot be
                              reached  by a  collection  officer,  a  letter  is
                              automatically   generated   and   the   customer's
                              references  are  contacted.  Field agents (who are
                              independent   contractors)  often  make  calls  on
                              customers who are  unreachable or whose payment is
                              thirty  days or more  delinquent.  A  decision  to
                              repossess  the vehicle is generally  made after 30
                              to 90 days of  delinquency  or  three  unfulfilled
                              promises to make the overdue payment.
