I have an auto loan through Credit Acceptance, and they were relatively easy to go through. The only problem I have, is that the interest rates are a tad high; however, with my current credit rating, it's to be expected. In a few months I'll refinance, but for now, I'm glad they've accepted my application.
I purchased a SUV and Credit Acceptance became my creditor, 10/22/2010. On 10/22/12 I wanted to use my car as a trade in to purchase my current SUV , it turns out not even the finance company had a copy of the title and wouldn't show me proof that they were thee actual owners of the vehical once the car was financed. I ended up having to keep the car and paying two car notes two insurances. I then stop paying the car note on my 1st vehical and set up an escrow account and demand my title. 5 months went by and next thing I know Credit Acceptance went to where my car was stored which was strange bcus they never were told where it was at. I get a letter in the mail 11/2013 stating they repo my SUV and I could retain it IF I paid them .(STILL NO TITLE) I paid them 2500 remaining balance and then was told I can make arraignment to pickup my SUV. I called set an appointment just to find out my car was 2 hrs away from my location . When I got to the location to pick my vehical up they wanted me to sign for it before I saw my vehical. I was shown pictures of it when it was brought In but never say it since they had it. My SUV was damaged with a cost of repairs of $5500 and they lost the key to my vehical and tried to sell me a key from their on site lock smith for $150 , I declined the offer. I called AAA towing company to towe my SUV wasn't drivable. When the tow guy went to the lot to get my car he came back to me and said it will be awhile because they are digging my car out of a snow hill, not only did they strong arm to get the balance that was owed on the loan by repo the vehical and still refused to give me the title until after a month of me paying the balance in full, my car was damaged, they let my windows down and allowed the snow to fill thee insides of the car and had my car underneath a snow him which means they were shoveling the snow and just piled the snow onto my vehical while it was parked on their lot. I eventually bought another body for my SUV because the damages were horrible and out of the 4 years I had the SUV I drove it mainly 2-3 months out the year bcus it was sold to me with many problems resorting to replacing electrical system, gas tank and lines, heating and cooling system, new transmission, new engine, basically I bought a lemon and when I paid for all the repairs that were done ONLY at the Superior GMC dealership they wanted the car back but I declined their offer to buy back .They can't be trusted and they may not even have the title of your car in their possession and give you a hard time when your trying to use the vehical as a trade in. I really believe they was trying to block me from doing business with someone else.

I was bought with my wife to used car on 2013, was Saturn Vue 2004.The lender was Credit Acceptance
I was paying the loan during the last for years, I finished my debt with the car and the company say me, you have a new debt for $ 2250 aditional in interest !!!
They retake possession of my car and send me a letter, show me that my new debt is $ 2750 more additional charges for interest, parking and keeping my personal things.
I call them and try to explain the situation and offer a negotiation of the balace I offer 1250 and pay off the balance, they dont want part of interest, the value of the car today 1000 to 2000 no more, is an stupid company.
And finally they send me a letter final notice .... and they say ... they will sell my car
Horrible!
Do not finance your next vehicle with this company, complete rip off!
Never had a problem
im 6 months into my 3yr loan. have made payments on time. no problems so far. ive seen alot of negative comments on here. Ive see people talk about the car being repoed. smh come on if you cant make a payment what do you think is going to happen. only complaint is intrest is carzy high. they seem to report payments with differnt information and are usally way behind.....
I don't understand the hate for CAC
I had always paid cash for pretty much everything. A car lot had a truck I liked and Credit Acceptance was their lender. Down payment wasn't bad, payments weren't bad and a year later my credit was almost non-existent to 740. Their customer service was always friendly and helpful. I can't say how they react to late payments as I had mine taken directly out of my bank account. I found something I liked better and traded in my truck and tacked the negative equity onto the new car (almost a wash as I got the car for the right price so I didn't break it off in myself). They are a good jump-off point if you need something to drive and want to establish credit. Can't say a bad thing about them.
Absolutely Horrific!!!
WARNING: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE ARE SCAMMERS!!! They prey on desperate people who have bad credit. Yes, you will get approved but they have accidently repoed my car, have RUDE customer service after accidently taking my vehicle. Not only arte their interest rates high, they also like to hit people with misc. fees. They tell you that ou have monthly payments but your payments are weekly. For that reason they can take your car even if it is a few days late. The customer service reps are ghetto and can barely speak proper english. Supervisor are unprofessional and they try their best to belittle people. Whatever you do, do not sign a contract with these people. Its not a real company. They are more like loan sharks.
They gave me a chance to get a decent car when no one else would. I had to put a big down payment on it, but it was because I was extremely irresponsible with my credit. The dealership I got the car from was pretty good and I am still driving the same car 12 years later. I am grateful I was able to get something with my crappy credit and paid the car off in 3 years.
awful company will never get a loan from them again.
scam company!!!!!!
those of you thinking of using credit acceptance.. DONT DO IT. We have been makig our payments on time every month for over 1 1/2 yrs (half of our contract of 3 yrs) Jay called to see what the balance was that we owed, THEY TOLD US THAT DUE TO IT BEING A "NEW YEAR" MORE INTEREST OF 110% KICKED IN AND NOW WE OWE THE ENTIRE -ENTIRE- AMOUNT AGAIN. we went from owing about 6,000 to 13000! who does that?! They literally keep you in debt... this is absolutely ridiculous. Now its going to look bad on us even though we have paid them!
DO NOT USE CREDIT ACCEPTANCE. They will scam you into debt for a vehicle not even worth a 3rd of the price.
I have a 2007 toyota rav 4 its worth 6,000 if you buy it.. this company wanted 12,000 after interest.. so we made payments of 480 a month. Got down to half the amount and all of a sudden its up to 13000 because we didnt pay it off completely fast enough. They said it was in the contract (probbably fine print). so they scam you out of a vehicle and money!! In all they basically wanted 24,000 for a car worth 6,000! All because your credit is bad, yet they set you up to fail so you never pay them off which obviously makes your credit worse.
Do not do it!!!!
I understand most reviews are negative, but I image all these reviewers are using a sub-prime lender for a reason. I was in a terrible way after a divorce, the crappy car I kept in the deal died, needed a new car NOW to get to work, and they came through with a loan (yes, it was 19% interet, but my credit was a mess) which got me back on the road. I always paid a little extra one week early every month, refinanced with another lender after a year and never had a problem. I made my first payment 2 days late (my fault) and they did call multiple times the very first day it was late, so they are agressive, but after that since payments were on time, I never heard from them again. Why would they bother me as long as they got their money?
Seriously people - you are going to Credit Acceptance Corp for a reason. They are taking a huge risk with you. Just pay them on time and accept them for what they are.
My only real complaint is they don't have ANY online cusotmer portal. Seriously. It's 2017. Come on!
PREDATOR
THEY are a predator company that takes advantage of the poor.
