Purchased Customers are entered into Frazer if the program is used by a finance company for the purpose of taking customer payments and printing documents (see also Sale of Receivables). In some cases, a customer may be entered as purchased by the dealership from the finance company if the finance company no longer wishes to maintain the account due to customer default, etc.
