Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 16, 2007, AmeriCredit Corp. announced that AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. ("AmeriCredit"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AmeriCredit Corp., has entered into an amendment with Barclays Bank PLC concerning AmeriCredit's $500 million Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility. The Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility is a revolving warehouse line of credit under which AmeriCredit may finance automobile retail installment sale contract receivables that meet certain eligibility requirements and under which AmeriCredit services the receivables. Under this facility, AmeriCredit sells eligible receivables to a special purpose subsidiary, which in turn pledges the receivables as collateral for its borrowings under the facility. The amendment extended the commitment termination date from August 16, 2007 through August 14, 2008. The amendment also provides for improved advance rates on upcoming borrowings based upon the cumulative net losses of securitizations when called. A copy of the press release and the amendment are filed herewith as exhibits to this Form 8-K.        
Affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC have also performed investment banking and advisory services for AmeriCredit from time to time to which they have received customary fees and expenses.
