Consumer Complaint: I went directly to the credit bureaus to dispute an account with Credit Acceptance. They sent me a letter back stating that they refused to investigate my file. And the reason was : that they said it came from a credit repair company. They just didn't want to investigate my file. That's horrible.

Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: I am financing a vehicle and I agreed to do an auto-pay so that the company charges my account the {$390.00} every month. I am in the market to buy a house and a credit specialist asked me, " Why I'm not making my car payments ''? My car company did not process certain payments and instead of contacting me about it, they just threw it on to my credit. Even though this is an error on their part, I was told that even if I pay the amounts that they did not process, they can not remove it from my credit.
