The office, near Galleria Drive and Stephanie Street, will close March 31, spokeswoman Margaret Mellott said.

The employees will be offered severance packages, she said.

Ford Motor Credit cut more than half of the employees at the office nearly two years ago, citing lost revenue and the sale of its Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

At that time, the office was transitioned from a full-service center to a specialty center that only handled collections and account servicing while other tasks, like originating new contracts, were redistributed to other centers.

Mellott said the closure is the result of an overstaffing of collection offices and a reduction in need for the services.
