Consumer Narrative
I financed a XXXX XXXX through credit acceptance with XXXX miles back in 2016. The car sales price was around {$10000.00} of the car lot at a payment of approximately {$500.00} a month. What I didnt understand was how high the interest rate was on the loan its somewhere about around 25 %. I payed on the vehicle for two years straight no late payments and fell on hard times and I did not understand the terms that were given when the loan was originated and the vehicle was repossessed. They then auctioned off the vehicle for {$2000.00} and got an order to garnish my wages for {$12000.00}. That more then what the car was worth when I bought it. The vehicle also needed a new transmission and which was a {$3000.00} repair and made it it impossible to drive. I then had to pay for an attorney to stop the garnishment and had to pay {$200.00} a month. I cant afford {$200.00} a month because I still need transportation.
