Capital One Auto Receivables, LLC

Registration Statement on Form S-3

File No. 333-128722, filed on 9/30/2005

 

Dear Ms. Dunton:

 

On behalf of Capital One Auto Finance, Inc. (“Capital One”), as sponsor and sole equity owner of Capital One Auto Receivables, LLC, this letter responds to your request to confirm, and Capital One does hereby confirm, that the references to “other property securing the receivable” in the registration statement refers to property that (1) is de minimis in nature when compared to the other specifically enumerated property which secures the receivable and (2) is not a type of property that is not permitted to be included pursuant to the terms of Regulation AB.

 

The primary property that secures each receivable is the financed vehicle. The “other property securing the receivable” catchall is used in the underlying securitization transaction documents, as well as the prospectus disclosure, to ensure that all incidental property securing the receivable is included as part of the assets of the issuing entity.
