                                  Certification

I, Steven H. Smith, certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K, and all reports
               on Form 8-K containing distribution or servicing reports filed in
               respect of periods included in the year covered by this annual
               report, of Household Automotive Trust V, 2000-2;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, the information in these reports, taken as
               a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
               or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
               made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
               were made, not misleading as of the last day of the period
               covered by this annual report;

          3.   Based on my knowledge, the distribution or servicing information
               required to be provided to the trustee by the servicer under the
               pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement for inclusion in
               these reports is included in these reports;

          4.   I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the
               servicer under the pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement
               and based upon my knowledge and the annual compliance review
               required under that agreement, and except as disclosed in the
               reports, the servicer has fulfilled its obligations under that
               agreement; and

          5.   The reports disclose all significant deficiencies relating to the
               servicer's compliance with the minimum servicing standards based
               upon the report provided by an independent public accountant,
               after conducting a review in compliance with the Uniform Single
               Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar procedure, as
               set forth in the pooling and servicing, or similar, agreement,
               that is included in these reports.

In giving the certifications above, I have reasonably relied on information
provided to me by the following unaffiliated parties: Wells Fargo Bank
Minnesota, National Association and The Depository Trust Company.
