Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I am once again having a issue with the way that this finance company handles accounts. I have a vehicle loan with this company and it seems that they are more interested in taking car back than assisting customers. I have had this loan and worked very hard to get my account caught up. Once it was caught up I was injured at work and needed to miss payment while waiting for short term payments to start. I called to see if my payment can be deferred to the end of my contract or held for a month until payments started and no one at company was willing to help. The only reply I get from them is that my car will be shut off and picked up.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I am late with my car payment. I called Credit Acceptance Friday XXXX XXXX, XXXX and made a payment arrangement for Friday XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I explained to the repersentative that I had just started woring full time and would get my first check on Friday and I could make the payment. Today I went to drop my daughter off and my car would not start. I called Credit Acceptance and asked if they disable the car and was told they did not. I called 3 times and each time the rep acknowledge that I had a payment arrangement for Friday and asked me if I wanted to make a payment then. I explained why was calling and each time I was told they did not disable the car. The last person I talked to I told her that I had someone to look at it and was assurred it was the realy switch. I was put on hold for about 5 mintues. When the rep returned she said she was trouble shooting but could n't get a response. I was told to have the car towed to the dealer and have them to look at it to see if it was defective. If it was n't I would have to pay for whatever was wrong with the car.

Consumer Complaint: I obtain a auto loan from Credit Acceptance in the year XXXX around XXXX. I was never late on any payments, all my payments were on time. XXXX XXXX my car was impounded by XXXX Police. I contacted Credit Acceptance and informed them of the situation, they informed me to contact their repossession department. When I spoke with them they informed me they will retrieved the vehicle and incorporate the amount into my payments. My payments before the impoundment was {$300.00} after the adjustment my new payments {$450.00} due on the XXXX of each month starting XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I made the full payment of {$450.00} but the rep. informed me that the rearrangement has been broken and now I owe the total {$990.00} or the vehicle will be disable to drive. I informed him that I was one day late due to my pay day on the XXXX of the month not the XXXX. He stated " Well you a day late and a XXXX short '' how are we going to handle this. I requested to speak with a supervisor, I spoke with supervisor and I made the {$450.00} payment and he told me now the arrangement will be every two weeks of {$300.00} until the pass due is current which will be in XXXX. Every since this incident of the payment in XXXX, I have been harassed, spoken to unprofessional to. Once again I have not missed a payment, when I requested my payment history, the repairs one rep. informed me that I must pay due to the repossession, which was incorrect information.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Bought a XXXX XXXX van from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The van was defective- kept breaking down. Had radiator fluid in the transmission ( This is an impossible thing to fix, as I have read ). I GAVE BACK THE VAN. ( it 's been branded as 'repossession ' ) I told them WHY we were giving back the van- it was unusable, it was dangerous, since it had a propensity for breaking down in the middle of the street with no warning, IT WAS UNrepairable. Credit Acceptance took back the van, was told about it- and expects to be paid for the *loan*. Basically, they took back merchandise, resold it, and still expect money for it. They are currently trying to take me to court ... I call that stealing.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have an auto loan with Credit Acceptance Corporation. I advised the company that I am unable to make my payments on the XXXX of each month and needed to change it to later in the month so that I can pay my rent and other bills on time. I was told the due date ca n't be permanently changed but I can request a due date adjustment each month if I need one. I have been adjusting my due dates a day before they are due to ensure payment is receive on the adjusted due date. I recently received a call from the company stating that I have 2 months of late fees for the last two payments I was allowed to adjust. I was advised by the company that even though they allow me to adjust my payments to when I can make them I am still responsible for a late fee if the payment is received after the XXXX of the month. I advised the company that my contract states that if my payment is received after the XXXX a late fee will be assessed. However, the contract does n't state that if my payment is adjusted to a later date with the companies permission that I would still be assessed a late fee. I advised the company that the only reason my payments would be made after the XXXX would be because that is how I am paid by my employer. I also told the company if I am given permission by the company to adjust my due date to a later date that may possibly be after the XXXX of the month depending on how I am paid I should not be assessed a late fee. The company basically blew me off and said " Just make sure you pay on time ''. The only problem with this is if I was allowed to permanently adjust my due date to later date in the month I would n't have to worry about making my payments late. I would also not have to worry about being charged and harassed about a late fee when I was given permission by the company to adjust my payment to a later date. I would like for any late fees to be waived and I would like to permanently adjust my due date to a later date in the month that allows me to pay all of my bills without any issues.
