The payment dates cannot be changed as they are based on the original contract that was signed.

No. You are required to make each payment on the due date specified in your contract with us. Payments received after the due date will be considered past due. If unforeseen circumstances prevent you from making payments on time, please notify us as soon as possible.

Once a payment is submitted, you will receive an on-screen confirmation. If you would like, you can print the confirmation receipt.

Once a payment is submitted, it will be posted to your Credit Acceptance account. However, this does not mean that the payment has been processed with your financial institution or card issuer. Payments are usually processed within 2 business days, but you will need to confirm with your financial institution or card issuer that the money has been withdrawn from your account.

You can request a payoff quote online at any time through your Customer Portal account (click here for more information).
You can also request a payoff quote by calling 1-800-634-1506 and using the automated phone system to get your payoff. The system is available 24 hours a day. You can also talk to a Credit Acceptance representative between 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. EST.

1. Open the account in the customer portal.
2. Click Request Payoff Quote under the vehicle payment information.  
    
   1. Select the Payoff Quote Good Through Date.
      Note: You can select a date up to 21 days in the future
      
       
   2. Select if you want the payoff quote to include the rebate associated with the cancelation of an unexpired Vehicle Service Contract (VSC).
      Note: If the coverage term for your VSC contract has expired, this screen will not appear
      
      
       
   3. Enter the mileage amount from the vehicle’s odometer.
      • We will alert you with one of the following screens if there is an apparent error in the mileage entered or if the VSC has expired
   4. Choose whether Credit Acceptance has consent to cancel the unexpired VSC when your vehicle is paid off.
      • Third parties are not given the option to cancel VSC and will only be able to enter the vehicle mileage amount.
      Note: The VSC must be canceled in order for you to receive any available rebate for any remaining portion of the VSC. If you do not provide consent to cancel, you will have to call Credit Acceptance when you pay off your vehicle in order to cancel the VSC contract and receive any available rebate.
      
      
      
      Note: If you entered the mileage in error, update the mileage to the correct amount or call Credit Acceptance to continue the payoff request
      
      
      
       
   5. Review the terms and conditions for more information about the details of the quote.
      Note: If you have GAP coverage through Wynn’s Plus, the payoff quote will automatically include any rebate for that product
       
   6. If there is a 3rd Party VSC and/or GAP contract on your account, an additional Request Payoff Quote button will appear. This is because payoff quotes including rebates for 3rd Party Ancillary Products must be calculated by our Operations Support department. Operations Support will calculate the quote and send it to you via the delivery method selected in the next step within 1 business day. If you wish to receive a payoff quote including these rebates, click this button.
      
      
       
   7. Select the delivery method for a copy of your payoff quote.
      
      

Payoff quotes are only available for some accounts.  Please contact Credit Acceptance at 1-800-634-1506 for further information if you are not able to get a quote online. 

Contact Credit Acceptance at 1-800-634-1506 to get more detailed information related to these differences.

If you opted to receive a PDF version of your quote in a Customer Portal message when you requested the payoff quote, then you can access a copy of the payoff quote in your messages in the Customer Portal. Otherwise, Contact Credit Acceptance at 1-800-634-1506 to confirm payoff information of a previously requested quote that was requested through the portal. For an updated payoff, re-run the quote in the portal.

Yes, but a separate request will need to be made for a quote with these rebate amounts included. Payoff quotes including rebates for 3rd Party Ancillary Products must be calculated by our Operations Support department and will be sent to you via your chosen delivery method within 1 business day.

Yes, you are able to run a payoff quote (see the question “How do I run a payoff quote?”).

• Text Alerts are text messages sent by Credit Acceptance to a customer’s mobile device
• The messages customers may receive include standard monthly payment reminders, payment promise reminders, AutoPay payment reminders, and requests to call Credit Acceptance

You may have already agreed to receive text alerts at the time you purchased and financed your vehicle, or when you created a Customer Portal account.

If you want to ensure that you’ve agreed to receive Text Alerts, use the Customer Portal:

1. Log in to the Customer Portal
2. Navigate to the Profile page
    
3. Select “Phone Preferences”
4. Check the circle under “Text”  next to the phone number you would like to sign up for text alerts
    
5. Click “Update Preferences”

If you do not have a Customer Portal Account:

1. Go to CreditAcceptance.com
2. Click the “Not Enrolled? Sign up now.” link

• Credit Acceptance does not charge for text alerts, but standard mobile phone carrier fees for text messaging may apply
• Check with your mobile phone carrier if you aren’t sure what fees apply when you send and receive text messages

• The outbound text alerts contain a 5 digit short code (878-24) at the top of the text in the place of an outbound phone number
• The 5 digit code is used to facilitate sending text messages and identifies Credit Acceptance as the sender

Every mobile carrier has different rate plans for text messaging and data services access. You may be charged per use, or pay a flat rate for unlimited usage each month. You may also incur different fees for text messaging and data services access. You should contact your mobile provider directly if you are not sure what fees you may be charged to use text and browse the web.

• Standard monthly payment reminders

• Payment promise reminders

• AutoPay reminders

• And/or requests to call Credit Acceptance

Remember, even if you have agreed to receive text alerts, you still may not receive one or either of the text alerts above, depending on the status of your account.

Credit Acceptance may send text alerts at various times throughout the day and month, during the same hours that we make outbound calls to customers.

You can revoke consent to be contacted by responding to a text message received from the Company with one of the following commands:

• Text STOP to stop all text messages
  o    Note that texting STOP only stops text alerts.  It does not, for example, cancel AutoPay arrangements or cause Credit Acceptance to take any other action.
• Text STOP ALL to stop all calls and text messages to that phone number

You can opt out of Text Alerts in three ways:

We accept the following limited responses:

• Reply HELP and you will receive a message providing a link to our FAQs about Text Alerts
• Reply STOP to opt out of text alerts to the mobile phone number
• Reply STOP ALL to opt out of text alerts and phone calls to the mobile phone number
