Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I bought a car XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) from ( XXXX XXXX ) a dealership in Maryland , the car was financed by CREDIT ACCEPTANCE. I asked for the price of the car but was not told. The dealer only told me my monthly payment. He said the total Im financing was {$17000.00}. With a monthly payment of {$530.00} which was scheduled for a spilt pay of XXXX every two weeks. First I was told I will not pay until after a month, which my account was debited only one week after, this took my bank account to overdraft. This was the first fraudulent action From CREDIT ACCEPTANCE. I called to question this action, this was when I was told that my balance is {$29000.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I object and they said there was nothing I could do about it. That I already signed up for it. I told the associate that I never signed a single paper. Everything was done on their computer, it was late at night, I couldnt read the whole long text. I just trusted the auto giant associate who was explaining to me. Since XX/XX/XXXX Ive been making this rigorous payment and Im earlier this year I was out of job for one month which made me had a past due and I got into my car one morning and my car has been shot down. This was the first time I found out that CREDIT ACDEPTANCE had a tracker on my car without my consent. I called them and it was remotely turned on after I made a payment that morning. I missed my job and was totally messed up. This year alone my car has been turned down 4 times. My grieve right now is that I was told as at purchase that I will be eligible for refinancing as at purchase. I called them XX/XX/XXXX that I want to refinance and they said I cant that they dont do refinancing. This was absolutely different from what I was told upon signing. So Ive been paying XXXX XXXX monthly on this car without the opportunity of refinancing. They stock me up with this killing rate and with all this rigor, Ive been assulted and embarrassed by credit acceptance associate on several occasions. Theyve taken so much aggressive action on my turning down my car without notice or warning. Today XXXX of XXXX, Ive been seeing call from credit acceptance the whole day but couldnt pick up because I was at work. At the 5th time of calling me consecutively I was forced to pick up. And this lady was very rude, disrespectful and uncultured to me. Ask me to be quiet 4times in the conversation. I tried to pour out my concern to her but she never listen. She called me saying I have past due and my car will be turned down. I explained to her that I just made a payment as scheduled for me to pay on the XXXX XXXX which was a day before this day. She said a new bill has rolled over and I said Im aware but Im telling you I just made a payment yesterday. How do you call me to threaten me to turn down my car if I dont pay today when I just paid {$300.00} yesterday. All effort to convince her was abortive because she will not listen. I like to emphasis that this will not be the first time Ive been harrassed by credit acceptance associate. And I demand a review of my payment or cancelation without charge or report on my credit
