LOS ANGELES — Advanced Lending & Portfolio Services (ALPS), a division of Westlake Financial Services, announced strong quarterly results with a total portfolio size of $11.5 Million at the end of the third quarter. The results represent a 2,000 percent growth year over year for the buy-here, pay-here contract purchasing company.
