Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: We purchased an automobile from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, and financed the auto loan through Credit Acceptance Corporation. We purchased the extended warranty. After driving the vehicle only XXXX miles, the engine went out. A mechanic communicated with the warranty company on the needed repairs. The warranty company refused to authorize ( we later found out the warranty company is owned by Credit Acceptance ). We contacted Credit Acceptance to see what our options were. We could not afford to make XXXX XXXX monthly payments AND pay a very costly engine repair bill, but if we didn't fix it, the vehicle was not driveable. We continued to make our monthly payments on time for months while this all dragged on, even while not being able to drive the vehicle in question. Credit Acceptance basically told us that we could either pay for the repairs or voluntarily give up the vehicle. They offered no other recourse or alternative solution. They told us to take it up with the car dealer, but by then, they had already closed and filed for bankruptcy. We ended up doing a voluntary reposession. We had to have the vehicle towed from the mechanic shop with the dissassembled engine in the back. They immediately turned around and resold the truck at auction for much less than fair market value. They then sued us. We got a lawyer, and the lawsuit was dismissed. We have disputed this on our credit report multiple times and they are unwilling to remove this from our report, which is affecting our ability to purchase a home. We had another loan with Credit Acceptance at the same time that was paid on time every month and eventually paid off. We attempted everything we could to resolve this and they refused to work with us, refused to honor their warranty, and the auto dealer went out of business and filed bankruptcy. So now, because we were unlucky enough to buy a lemon from an unscrupulous dealer with a loan from an unscrupulous lender, we can not buy a home. We spent thousands to pay an attorney to keep them from suing us, not to mention all the months we paid for the auto loan and insurance on a vehicle we could not drive.
