TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) released new research showing that between Q3 2018 and Q3 2025, auto lending fraud losses rose sharply even as many fraud incident rates declined. Estimated first-party fraud losses increased from $88 million to $323 million, third-party fraud from $18 million to $47 million, and synthetic fraud from $93 million to $208 million, indicating that fewer but more targeted attacks are driving much larger auto loan charge-offs for lenders and dealerships.
According to TransUnion, fraudsters are focusing on higher-value loans and exploiting identity vulnerabilities, with third-party fraud losses 2.6 times higher in Q3 2025 despite less than half the incidence rate of Q3 2018. The analysis also highlights credit washing as a growing risk: in 2025, about 5% of U.S. consumers had charged-off accounts suppressed for atypical reasons, erasing an estimated $10 billion in debt from credit reports and increasing early charge-off rates across all credit tiers.

According to TransUnion, the enhanced insights are delivered at no additional cost. The update builds on prior mortgage innovations such as trended credit data introduced in 2013 and the TruVision Early Access Soft Check solution.
