6. Explain the overdue process after you email James Sawyer (or OKC Overdue Department). What
exactly is a conversion? 3 pts
Step 1- James will put the customer on the dialer system where they receive 2 phone calls
a day automatically.

send the contract to force return which is a similar department but just more demanding.
Step 4- OKC will give the force return department 7 days and then they will hire Repo.

conversion.
A conversion is when the renter fails to return our vehicle and converts it for their
personal use without paying for it.
