Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: This company failed to comply with FCRA regulations and notify me that they have/would be/or could report derogatory information to all three consumer reporting bureaus. Despite having an address on file, references on file, an email address on file and an additional authorized third party on file they made no diligent efforts to notify me of this prior to the damages being caused. Their failure to uphold their responsibilities caused me to lose a house I was set to close on valued at {$190000.00} in addition to appraisal and inspection fees. Not to mention, they continuously attempted to draw on a closed checking account and I incurred expenses with my financial institution as a result. I attempted to see if they would remedy this by a good will gesture as I have never been in default before and this was an isolated incident but they replied with " they tried to call me and its my own fault ''. I further explained to them the circumstances surrounding the breakdown in communication and they would not reasonably reach a civil conclusion.

Consumer Complaint: Credit Acceptance Corp. has reported to the 3 credit bureaus -XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX that i owe a balance of {$1900.00} for a auto loan. This auto loan was paid in full on XX/XX/15. i've tried many times to talk to this company but they fuse to accept that i paid this loan. I disputed this account with all 3 credit bureaus multiple times only to have this account verified. Even though i provided them with a copy of the contract payoff. This account is hurting my credit to get a mortgage.

Consumer Complaint: About 4 years ago my husband was sent home from his job early after putting in his 2 weeks notice. This was 3.5 weeks before his new job was to start. I called the loan company as we lived in Arizona a right to work state cause we didnt get paid. The loan company asked if I knew when we'd get paid at that time I did not. We missed 2 payments as we went 6 weeks without pay. We made a payment and set up auto pay biweekly. The auto payments monthly were {$200.00} more than my payment. We recently applied for a home loan only to find out the loan company reported the last 2 years and 2 months of payments late. One auto pay we never missed a payment. I have contacted the company and they told me I'm out of luck. I finally read the reviews on the company and found this happens often and in fact they have had several lawsuits around this matter.

Consumer Complaint: I had a car financed with Credit Acceptance and the engine blew. I called them and and they asked if I wanted to return it but never indicated that it would be considered a repossession. Had I known I would have kept the car even though it wasn't running. I just don't understand they never at any point indicated that it would report negatively on my report. We also agreed on a settlement for which I paid. I don't think that is correct that there was no mention that the account would report bad since they are the ones that recommended turn it in.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Subissue: Fraudulent loan
Consumer Complaint: I was a victim of blatant predatory lending by Credit Acceptance Corporation. They charged me 22.99 % interest for a car loan, which is very high but due to my less than ideal credit and not understanding the contract I signed. Later while working with a Financial Coach at a non-profit we looked at my loan and vehicle. He pulled the XXXX value on the vehicle and we found that the vehicle with a clean retail is only worth {$5700.00}. I paid {$9100.00} for the vehicle and by the time the loan is paid I will have paid {$19000.00}. A lender should not give a secured loan for a vehicle to a customer with less than perfect credit ( or anyone ) with almost a 160 % LTV. The whole transaction is predatory but the aspect of the lender giving a loan for 160 % of what the vehicle is worth is the aspect that seems completely unlawful and undeniably predatory.The loan was signed in XX/XX/XXXX, and we pulled the XXXX value ( bluebook value ) on XX/XX/XXXX only 6 months later. The car would not have depreciated in value very much in those 6-months, especially with an already older vehicle. We used the millage of the car when it was bought in XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: sorry my grammar is not 100 % accurate! Hi & To Whom It May Concern : How are you doing? Im not sure who to bring this up anymore, but I been dealing with the original dealership XXXX XXXX for the last 3-4 months in regards to a vehicle that was never on my possession. As I mentioned, I never took the delivery of the vehicle and its been on principal owner XXXX and XXXX dealership for day one due to mechanical issue. And now my credit report is all ruined because the principal owners never dealt with them on timely manner. Every time I called them, they kept saying that they dont have the money to send back to the bank to remove this from my credit report. Ive called the alleged bank Credit Acceptance several times and they stated in several occasion that once they receive the money from the Dealership that submitted the Credit Application they will go ahead and remove the tradeline from my credit report. Today, I look at my credit report again, it continues to report incorrect on my credit profile. It shows balance {$0.00}, however, its reflecting with derogatory mark, such as comments as settled-less than full balance, other bureau shows account legally paid in full for lass than the full balance, and XXXX reports as settlement accepted on this account or paid account/XXXX balance. As you can see on the pictures, I NEVER made the payment on this account. The dealership made the payment directly to the bank and you can see the check was made by them XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore, this is causing me tremendous stress, and Im overwhelmed with lack of professionalism and blunt errors on my credit report which is costing me thousands in interest rate and fees. Please, I ask again, resolve this from my credit report either CORRECT as Paid NEVER late or remove the entire trade line from my credit report as promised. -- I need the company to remove this tradeline from my credit report as I never made the payment, and never took the delivery of the vehicle. Please delete this tradeline from my credit report.
