The allowance for loan losses on retail and commercial finance receivables included a collective allowance of $586 million, $611 million and $525 million and a specific allowance of $325 million, $331 million and $280 million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Retail Finance Receivables We use proprietary scoring systems in the underwriting process that measure the credit quality of retail finance receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score or its equivalent) and contract characteristics. We also consider other factors such as employment history, financial stability and capacity to pay. Subsequent to origination we review the credit quality of retail finance receivables based on customer payment activity. At December 31, 2018 and 2017 25% and 33% of retail finance receivables were from consumers with sub-prime credit scores, which are defined as a FICO score or its equivalent of less than 620 at the time of loan origination. We purchase retail finance contracts from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date the payment was contractually due. The accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on delinquent retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $888 million and $778 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The following table summarizes the contractual amount of delinquent retail finance receivables, which is not significantly different than the recorded investment of the retail finance receivables:
| December 31, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017
| Amount |  | Percent of Contractual Amount Due |  | Amount |  | Percent of Contractual Amount Due
31-to-60 days delinquent | $ | 1,349 |  |  | 3.3 | % |  | $ | 1,334 |  |  | 4.1 | %
Greater-than-60 days delinquent | 547 |  |  | 1.4 | % |  | 559 |  |  | 1.7 | %
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent | 1,896 |  |  | 4.7 | % |  | 1,893 |  |  | 5.8 | %
In repossession | 44 |  |  | 0.1 | % |  | 27 |  |  | — | %
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent or in repossession | $ | 1,940 |  |  | 4.8 | % |  | $ | 1,920 |  |  | 5.8 | %
Retail finance receivables classified as TDRs and individually evaluated for impairment were $2.3 billion and $2.2 billion and the allowance for loan losses included $321 million and $328 million of specific allowances on these receivables at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Commercial Finance Receivables Our commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. Proprietary models are used to assign a risk rating to each dealer. We perform periodic credit reviews of each dealership and adjust the dealership's risk rating, if necessary. Dealers in Group VI are subject to additional restrictions on funding, including suspension of lines of credit and liquidation of assets. The commercial finance receivables on non-accrual status were insignificant at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The following table summarizes the credit risk profile by dealer risk rating of the commercial finance receivables:
|  | December 31, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017
Group I | – Dealers with superior financial metrics | $ | 2,192 |  |  | $ | 1,915 |
Group II | – Dealers with strong financial metrics | 4,399 |  |  | 3,465 |
Group III | – Dealers with fair financial metrics | 4,064 |  |  | 3,239 |
Group IV | – Dealers with weak financial metrics | 1,116 |  |  | 997 |
