Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: I filed a dispute through XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to receive physical verification of my original instrument of indebtedness via certified US mail on XX/XX/2018. I received an electronic response from XXXX XX/XX/18 through my credit monitoring account that this account has been updated without sending me any physical verification. Credit Acceptance has placed erroneous late payments, an inaccurate account status, and an inaccurate loan balance on my XXXX credit report. XXXX has asked me electronically " why I want to dispute this account '' electronically when I specifically told them I want all correspondence to be by US mail. The question also makes no sense as I already told them why I was disputing this in the letter that I sent : " According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( hereafter referred to as " FCRA '' ), Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. Therefore, I am demanding to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract, or MPN with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. Please also remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. ''

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Billing problem
Consumer Complaint: Good afternoon, I am writing because Credit Acceptance Corp has called me before XXXX XXXX on a Sunday morning to inquire about payment. I had previously instructed Credit Acceptance Corp to refrain from calling and they decided to do it anyway at XXXX XXXX approximately this Sunday morning. I informed Credit Acceptance Corp to contact me in writing and not my cell phone in the past. I reminded the woman today and she said she was going to keep calling and calling she did. After blocking out her number, she called from yet a different number. This is harassment and today is Sunday and they are calling outside of business hours. Based on my understanding of the telephone/bill collection rules, the company could be fined {$1000.00} each time for willfully violating collection laws via telephone. She called me from the following phone numbers : XXXX at XXXX XXXX CST and at XXXX XXXX CST. She called me from XXXX at XXXX XXXX and called me at XXXX at XXXX XXXX and at XXXX XXXX. I paid my XXXX bill one week in advance and I understand that the bill is due on the XXXX of the month and haven't paid it yet, however, that does not give them an excuse to call outside of business hours and call when I've requested everything in writing.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Problem with the interest rate
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I lost my job for more than 6 months with a young child, which caused my previous car to be repossessed. Therefore, when I got a job, it was far and I had to settle for a second chance auto loan lender, Credit Acceptance. I was told that I would be able to refinance the car to lower the interest rate but this never happened. No lender would refinance my vehicle because it has negative equity. I have had my car appraised, and it was estimated at being worth {$3500.00}, with me owing Credit Acceptance roughly {$14000.00}. No auto loan lender will refinance my current loan nor allow for a trade in with such a high loan balance. Essentially, i am stuck in this loan with a car that is fallen to pieces. The car does not shift gears properly without me using a screw driver, I am having transmission issues which have caused me roughly $ 2K to date, every time I have paid for my car door to be fixed it breaks again so I have roll down my window to open the door from the outside. My monthly payment is {$540.00} on this XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have asked Credit Acceptance to lower my interest to rate or lower my buyout so another auto lender can approve me to get another car and so that my roll over amount is lower. I have gone to 5 dealerships who have stated I am stuck in this loan and they can only assist me if my outstanding loan amount was roughly 50 % less. I think it is beyond ridiculous that second chance auto lenders are taking advantage of consumers who fall on rough times, where they have no programs to reduce interests or car appraisal for extreme cases such as myself. Additionally, they have poor customer service, where their customer service reps are beyond disrespectful and they call constantly when you have already agreed to a payment plan with another rep. I have also asked to speak to their legal department to try to come to a conclusion and they never called me back.

Consumer Complaint: They have 2 auto loans on my credit report that I did not open, and I did not authorize. I have not had auto loans with them. I did their fraud packet, and jumped through all the hoops they told me to jump through. Now they just completely ignore me. This has to be addressed, and this has to be taken care of.
