Consumer Complaint: Payments on my five year loan are not documented correctly. The five year loan began in XX/XX/XXXX and would end in XX/XX/XXXX. I missed three payments that I was told I could make up at the end of the loan period extending the loan three months which ended XX/XX/XXXX. The three payments were missed in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Credit Acceptance Corporation shows on our credit report that we made 25 % of our payments late, Instead of showing three missed payments respectively. We never made 25 % of our payments late. For every month in XX/XX/XXXX it shows that we are 30-90 says late including the three extended months. Credit Acceptance sent me a document showing all months that payments were made on time. In addition, the document shows that the last three extended payments were made on time. Never on the credit report does it state three payments were missed and made up at the end of the loan period. The credit report states inaccurately that we made 25 % of our payments late, which would be after the XXXX of every month. Attached is the payment record from Credit Acceptance showing the dates of each payment. Credit Acceptance says XXXX are responsible for the errors. Thank you.

Consumer Complaint: This lender is now considered a predatory lender after thorough research on this company. The name is credit acceptance. I have a car financed with them and made payment arrangements on the vechicle. We both agreed that there is a contractual obligation in place but they would make an exception and allow the payment to be made late. This was considered a verbal contract made on XX/XX/2019. At which time they said they would accept the payment on friday XX/XX/XXXX in the interim they repossed the vehicle on XX/XX/2019. They were contacted about this on XX/XX/2019 and the supervisor, XXXX advised that it was a system error. I requested the car to be released with just one payment which i was only due for one payment and it was 17 or so days past due. They stated they would not waive any fees. Im filing the complaint so that they may be reprimanded and also im seeking punitive and physical physical damage from the company as well through a lawsuit.

I had a death in the Family and could not make the Payment by the due date. I contacted credit acceptance and told the money was not in my checking account for the XXXX XXXX payment.

Consumer Complaint: I recently purchased a new vehicle and traded in my XXXX XXXX XXXX. The dealership paid off my existing loan with Credit Acceptance Corp on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Credit Acceptance Corp after that date and asked when I would get my refund of the over payment. They stated I will have it by XX/XX/XXXX. Not sure why it takes 4 weeks to refund someone an over-payment when they have it all on their books effective XX/XX/XXXX. I called about four times through last week asking about my refund and they finally told me that it was {$540.00} approximately. I asked when they check was sent they stated XX/XX/XXXX. They also sent a separate document that laid out the payoff. I received that document via regular mail on XX/XX/XXXX. The check was not included in that letter. I called Credit Acceptance Corp again and they stated that letter comes out of a separate department than my refund check but they were both sent the same day. To this day I still have not received my check. This complaint is being filed because they have had my money for over a month and continue to tell me its in the mail when its been 12 days and I still have nothing, it should have arrived the same day as the other document. I am starting to thing they are scamming me and do not have the money to refund me. I ask the CFPB to look into this matter to investigate for potential fraudulent activity by Credit Acceptance Corp.

Consumer Complaint: The laws of the state of Pennsylvania clearly states that when a repossession takes place, that there must be at least two auctions completed before there is an upset price pertaining to collection purposes. However, in fiscal year 2017, being XXXX I suddenly faced several financial issues that caused this repossession. Accordingly, I am requesting a reasonable settlement to this collection. The vehicle loan was for a 19.99 % interest rate, and the payment was very high. However, I was only 30-days behind on the payments, and if I was given proper consideration as before, I could have brought the payments current. I would appreciate an offer in compromise either through my email or direct mail, and Ill do my best to make that payment to benefit all parties.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I took out an auto loan with Credit Acceptance Corp. Sadly I had to voluntarily surrender this vehicle because the condition of the vehicle and the necessary repairs far outweighed the value and monies owed on the vehicle. In XX/XX/XXXX the same subprime lender approved me for the purchase of a far superior vehicle. I submitted to the dealership the application as well as any and all requested documentation. All was going well until my sons college requested a tax account summary from the IRS from me. I needed to get this online immediately. In order to do this you needed a car loan or mortgage. I called Credit Acceptance for my account number and was told I didnt have an account for the newest car I had been making payments on. I finally found someone with a brain and she looked up my account by the VIN number. Turns out the second account was opened up with the wrong social security number. So I have the negative account being reported that i owe money after a voluntary surrender but the new loan with over a year of perfect payment does not show up. If you look up the credit reports under the fictitious social security number you will find a rather nice credit score and the positive account listed. I've contacted them constantly. They want me to just blindly fax my social security card to a generic number going to no ones attention. This scares me. They even deny reporting the second account to the credit bureaus under the wrong number. I filed a complaint with the XXXX and received a response from the supposed legal department but the number she gives me to call her is a number where you can not speak to anyone

Consumer Complaint: In my compliant against credit acceptance on XX/XX/XXXX I explained that my account was paid with my insurance but Credit Acceptance was reporting my account with a balance and as a collection. Credit Acceptance responded that they were paid by my insurance company in XX/XX/XXXX and that they reported accurately to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Attached is the letter they wrote to me admitting that my account was paid in full by my insurance company in XX/XX/XXXX and that they requested that the credit reporting agencies list the account as closed paid in full. As of todays date the Credit Acceptance is reporting my account listed with XXXX and XXXXn under a collection status and with XXXX as paid closed account/settled for less than full amount old. The proof of the above listed status is attached. I have also listed proof that Credit acceptance as of XX/XX/XXXX was listing my account to XXXX with a balance owed of {$5900.00}. Credit acceptance has illegally reported my account status to the credit bureaus for over a year. Credit Acceptance lied when they reported to CFPB under claim # XXXX that they listed my account as paid in full with a XXXX balance. Credit Acceptance false reporting is against the law and has prevented me from obtaining loans and credit accounts. Credit Acceptance should immediately notify the reporting agencies to correct my account status to closed paid in full and leave out any and all derogatory remarks such as account settled for less than the full amount.
