We have performed the procedures enumerated below, on certain information with respect to attributes of the vehicle loans to be pooled for securitization related to the Class A, Class B, and Class C Asset-Backed Notes to be issued by the Credit Acceptance Auto Loan Trust 2021-4 (“Subject Matter”). Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for the data file accurately representing the information included in the underlying asset documents and the disclosed assumptions and methodologies.
The Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting specified parties in evaluating the Subject Matter. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. Additionally, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes.
Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures enumerated below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures we performed and our findings are as follows.
1.The Company provided an electronic file (the “Data File”) with information for certain vehicle loans, which the Company represented was as of the close of business on August 31, 2021.
2.Grant Thornton selected one hundred vehicle loans on a random basis from the Data File. The sample of loans is listed in Exhibit A. For each of the selected loans we compared the following information, designated by Wells Fargo, to the related retail installment contract and in instances where consumers changed their address subsequent to the origination of their loan, we agreed the state of the consumer to other Company records.
a.Loan number
b.Original amount financed
c.First payment date (scheduled)
d.Original term to maturity
e.Monthly payment
f.Interest rate
g.State
h.Compared the Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) on the contract to the VIN on the title document (actual title, title application, VINtek, or acceptable proof of lien, as applicable)
GT.COM Grant Thornton LLP is the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL). GTIL and each of its member firms are separate legal entities and are not a worldwide partnership.
We defined the term “compare” as meaning we compared to the information shown in the Data File and found it to be in agreement. Such information was deemed to be in agreement if differences were attributable to rounding. The term “rounding” was defined as meaning amounts and percentages that were within $1 and 0.1%, respectively. We noted no exceptions.
We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Subject Matter. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
Our agreed-upon procedures engagement was not conducted for the purpose of the following:
•Addressing the conformity of the origination of the assets to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria, or other requirements
