Consumer Complaint: I am currently being garnished for a vehicle that I did not purchase. I have made several attempts to find out who purchased this vehicle in my name but was not successful. I reached out to General Sessions Court and the Attorney who was handling this matter and no one returned my calls. It has been very difficult for me to live financially with this garnishment coming out of my pay. According to their records the car was purchase when I was a minor.

Issue: False statements or representation
Subissue: Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you
Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I was served with a lawsuit on Sunday, XX/XX/2018 by the law offices of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX on behalf of Credit Acceptance. I contacted the law office the following Monday in hopes to settle the debt. They stated that they would mail me a financial statement to be returned to them. I asked the representative ( XXXX XXXX ) if they would cancel the hearing until we got this matter resolved. I also asked her would I still need to file an answer with the court with the 15 day period that was stated on the lawsuit and she told me no ( which was not true ). Had I not filed an answer they would have gotten a default judgement against me. Credit Acceptance declined my settlement offer of {$2300.00} and responded with a counteroffer of {$4700.00} on XX/XX/2018. I contacted Credit Acceptance on Monday, XX/XX/2018 to ensure that once the settlement amount is paid that ( 1 ) the lawsuit will be dropped and ( 2 ) this account will be reported to all three credit bureaus as settled in full with {$0.00} due. I have been told by multiple agents with Credit Acceptance that this account will report as settled with a balance of the difference of the total amount due. When an account is settled it is supposed to show a zero balance. I have asked to speak with someone in the credit reporting department and have gotten the runaround several times. I have asked to speak with supervisors and was told I could only leave voicemails because they do not accept calls. I am willing to settle this account for the requested amount but only if it is reported correctly on my credit report. If it is not reported with a zero balance then they can technically come back and sue me for the remaining balance which is not settling an account. Thank you in advance for looking into this matter.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: I have a loan with CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORP. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason I realized that there was a late payment on my credit report. As you can see, I have always had a stellar payment record with this company. I tried contacting both XXXX and CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORP with no successful resolution. XXXX only reporting me late. There was definitely an error on their part. I was never 30-59 days late.

Consumer Complaint: Credit Acceptance Corp reported a vehicle repossession to my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. The company is claiming {$4400.00} is due on the account. I have requested to the company documentation including ( 1 ) a signed agreement with the dealer, ( 2 ) the original bill of sale of the vehicle ( 3 ) a bill of sale following the repossession of the vehicle and subsequent sale of repossessed vehicle ( 4 ) Any documentation pertaining to the purchase of the vehicle and its its repossession.

Consumer Complaint: I did a refinance on my home for a debt consolidation. Within my debts that were paid ; Credit Acceptance was paid {$3100.00} with Check # XXXX dated XX/XX/2017. We had requested a payoff 3 times due to our closing date being pushed back. We obtained one for XXXX, then XXXX and finally the last one on XX/XX/XXXX17 for the {$3100.00} payoff. The intention of this payment was to payoff this loan. Since it was late and was short, the intention is that this payment should have been applied as a principal reduction, NOT payments. Thank you.

Consumer Complaint: i bought used car and car financing center in XXXX said come back in 6 months to refinance if i made my payments on time. when i did, he kept putting me off and then offered me to buy a bigger car. when i did, it broke down ( I now believe that he stopped the car because he did not like the deal ). he gave me my other car back ( I thought while the other car was being fixed ) and would not give me back the bigger car. then the first car that i bought broke down. he took it from the shop i left it at and repaired it without my permission. i reported this to XXXX. there is a starter stopper and GPS in my car that i did not know about or consent to. but yet credit acceptance corporation sent me a copy when i asked for one that is a declaration acknowledging electronic signature that i never saw or signed. my name is forged! the finance company has no problem with this dealer selling cars that are about to break down and then use the warranty to fix the cars instead of fixing the cars first. the dealer did not give a copy of the warranty either. the dealer had me " buy here, pay here '' and paid my payment late when i asked about refinancing. i asked finance company why they take the payments from the dealer. they said that they did not know who wired the payment. the dealer also keeps a key of the car. i am afraid that the car will not make it to the end of my loan and warranty is up soon. i do not know what else they forged my name on! help!
