Item 1.  Financial Statements

         This Report on Form 10-Q is being filed in respect of UACSC 1996-C Auto
Trust  as  issuer  of  securities  registered  in  Registration   Statement  No.
333-06929-01  on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as  amended(declared
effective on July 18,  1996).  Because UACSC 1996-C Auto Trust has simply issued
Certificates  representing  fractional undivided interests in the Trust's assets
consisting of a specific  portfolio of retail  installment sale contracts in new
and used automobiles and light trucks, and because Registrant UAC Securitization
Corporation  is not a  Guarantor  of any of the  payments  due from the Trust to
Certificateholders  that are required to be made  monthly,  there is included in
response to this item only the regular  monthly report form which the Trustee is
required  to  include  with  each  monthly   distribution  of  trust  assets  to
Certificateholders setting forth for the prior calendar month, and cumulatively,
all of the relevant financial information required by Certificateholders.

         Accordingly, the UACSC 1996-C AUTO TRUST MONTHLY SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE
REPORT for the months ending  October 31, 1996,  November 30, 1996, and December
31, 1996, are included herewith, as exhibits 99-1, 99-2, and 99-3, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         The Trust  conducts no business  other than  receiving  payments on the
receivables and making payments to  Certificateholders  and to Union  Acceptance
Corporation as Servicer as the Registrant with respect to their interests in the
Trust assets.  The  traditional  form of income  statement and balance sheet and
comparative  presentation for prior periods would add no relevant information to
that supplied in the required monthly reports and would not be material.

         Because of the narrowly proscribed and limited activities of the Trust,
the information  called for by Item 303 of Regulation S-K would not add relevant
information  to that  provided  in the  Monthly  Service's  Certificate  Reports
attached hereto in response to Item 1.

                                    PART II.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

         There are no  reports  on Form 8-K to be  included  for this  reporting
period. The following exhibits are included in this form 10-Q:

          Exhibit 99-1 Servicer's Certificate Report of October 31, 1996
          Exhibit 99-2 Servicer's Certificate Report of November 30, 1996
          Exhibit 99-3 Servicer's Certificate Report of December 31, 1996
