Consumer complaint received 2025-09-24 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I financed a vehicle through

Credit Acceptance for {$13000.00} at 22.99 % APR, with a total finance charge of {$11000.00}. Since then, I have paid over {$20000.00} toward this account, yet the company still claimed I owed a remaining balance of {$6500.00} at the time of repossession. This remaining balance is largely the result of approximately {$1200.00} in late fees and ongoing high-interest charges. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I lost my job due to COVID-19 and requested a hardship accommodation. My request was denied, even though my account was current through XX/XX/XXXX. Despite my financial hardship, I continued making payments throughout XXXX, including {$700.00} in XXXX, {$1000.00} in XXXX, and {$600.00} in XXXX, until my savings were exhausted. 

My credit reports also show several unknown months during XXXX, which is incomplete and inaccurate reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The CARES Act ( XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) required lenders to report accounts as current if accommodations were granted, but Credit Acceptance denied relief and reported me delinquent.

Given my substantial overpayment, the denial of COVID relief, and the excessive late fees that inflated my balance, I dispute any claim of a deficiency balance and believe this account is being managed unfairly.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
