It's time to get in the driver's seat

Whether you've had bad credit from a few bumps in the road on your financial journey or are a first-time car buyer with no credit, neither should stop you from getting approval to purchase a vehicle.

The Credit Acceptance program gives enrolled car dealers the ability to say 'YES' to every customer, regardless of your credit history. And, since we report to the three major credit bureaus, you can improve your credit with on-time car payments!

    When I got my first car, unfortunately I got into an accident with that car which caused me to file bankruptcy. Being able to get past all of this with bankruptcy, I'm thankful. And I'm more so thankful because Credit Acceptance allowed me to do that.

    Early in life when I was 18 I got offered a lot of credit cards, and I didn't really understand the importance of credit and the role it would play in my life today and ultimately destroyed my credit. The work that Credit Acceptance does is truly making a big impact on people's lives. It definitely made a big impact on mine.

    We needed a new car for our family, but didn’t believe anyone would give us credit. It meant a lot when Credit Acceptance gave us an approval for a reliable vehicle. Credit Acceptance treated us respectfully and with understanding to help us improve our financial (and emotional) situation.

    When we got approved it had a positive impact for me. It was nice to know Credit Acceptance was willing to take a chance on us, and I really appreciate it.

    Nobody really understands the struggle until you have to personally go through it. If it wasn't for Credit Acceptance, I can't say that I would be where I am today.

    I was happy to be financed. After a period of time and by making on-time payments, my credit score, it went up, and now it's at almost 700. I realize I'm blessed, and I am thankful for Credit Acceptance.

    After graduating high school, I knew I needed some type of transportation to get to and from college. I had no idea what a credit report was, or what my credit score was. I don't think I'd have what I have if it wasn't for Credit Acceptance offering me that hand. Thank you, Credit Acceptance, for giving people with no beginning a start.
