What Is Credit Acceptance Repo?
This is the aggressive recovery of vehicles from customers who purchase vehicles from car dealers upon the agreement to pay instalmentally within an agreed stipulated date of each month of the year. This act is carried out by the Credit Acceptance Corporation, a corporation that car dealers work with about customers that purchase vehicles based on installment payments.
After the recovery of a vehicle from a default client, Credit Acceptance Repo takes upon itself to sell it to another buyer, and peradventure the money from the sold-out vehicle is lower compared to the amount left to balance up the initial amount of the vehicle as at when it was first sold to the default buyer, the defaulted client would be charged to court to be compelled by the law to balance up the payment of the actual price of the vehicle, and oftentimes the total amount recovered from the default client is beyond the actual price of the vehicle, hence, Credit Acceptance Repos are often torn on the flesh of defaulted clients, even, ready to stiff-neck defaulting clients for a long period; to the extent of hampering other sources of loans to the default client, foiling other installment payment opportunity to other commodities to their defaulted customers.
How Does A Customer get freed from Credit Acceptance Repo’s Clutch?
To get off the hook or avoid the traffic that comes with being a victim of Credit Acceptance Repo, a client can decide to sell off the purchased vehicle to balance up the payment, rather than ending up to aftermath be swallowed up by a big shark he or she cannot fight.
Another instance which is very advisable and the best of it all is the customer suing the Credit Acceptance Repo Corporation. There are corporate bodies out there who are looking forward to defending customers from the big chiseled teeth of the Credit Acceptance Repo corporation. They can go as far as suing the corporation, even helping victimized default clients to recover all the money they already spent while paying instalmentally on the purchase of the vehicle, and this is due to the possibility of strong allegations raised against vehicles dealers through the Credit Acceptance Repo, of selling out low-quality vehicles to their clients, thus, inconveniencing the clients, as the vehicle depreciates in its function or completely breaks down in a very little period after purchase, yet callous enough to confront and frustrates the client on the platform of default.
How Do Credit Acceptance Repo Always Access their defaulted customers?
The answer ‘is a GPS device, an electronic device attached to a surface of an object, or some time on a human body, in other to monitor the movement and activities of the subject (object or human).
Of course, It is only rational for car dealers to carry out this exercise on the vehicle purchased by their clients on installment payment. This is obviously to avoid the risk of running into loss rather than gain which is the sole aim of the business, as a client who purchases a vehicle on this ground can be mischievous enough to sell the car to another buyer or move entirely to another location far from where he or she had purchased the car on installment ground with the ploy not to pay the remaining balance or fulfill the terms and conditions of the transaction.
In most cases, the car dealers instruct their clients to insert the GPS device on the car sold, which aside from the intention of monitoring the client’s locations, most especially when it’s almost due for the customer to make the installment payment, it also helps car owners to track/ocate their vehicle when stolen, or even disable the vehicle ignition when deeming it.
In America, there have been several cases of complaint from customers who had had dealings with Credit Acceptance Corporation for infringement on their privacy, as well as hampering their freedom through the tracking device, as it’s alleged that this corporation often disables the ignition of their vehicle while on motion, or find out when they are about to make use of it. These actions from the Credit Acceptance through the car dealers have several times caused danger to the lives and properties of citizens who could not meet up with their installment payment, as their ignition is automatically switched-off while running from looming crisis, or in the case of going to their workplace where they make the money for their installment payment.
