– July 24, 2012 – First Associates Loan Servicing, one of the country’s fastest growing consumer
loan and lease servicers, was selected by Green Grants to service its rapidly
expanding residential solar power lease portfolio.
The organization helps Louisiana homeowners benefit from federal and state tax credits to lower the costs of going green by 80 percent.
“Our goal is to be the

homeowners,” said Tom Neyhart, President of Green Grants. “That not only includes
the implementation process, but also how our customers are cared for when they are
making their monthly payments. We needed a servicing company that put our

homeowners were required to bear the upfront cost of solar projects and claim these
credits at the end of the year against any tax liability, thereby excluding those that

homeowners with the power of solar. The offering not only has the potential to make
Louisiana the greenest state in America, but reduce every resident’s monthly energy
bill by up to $100.
“The partnership is a
great one for us because our companies have similar approaches to customer service,” said
David Johnson, CEO of First Associates Loan Servicing. “We’re in the business of

and environmentally-friendly future. We understand that the term “service”
