Levine (“Mr. Levine”) and Lauren B. Leichtman (“Ms. Leichtman” and, together with the Partnership, the General Partner, Capital Corp. and Mr. Levine, the “Reporting Persons”), hereby file this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

This Amendment amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by or on behalf of the Reporting Persons with the Commission on July 9, 2008 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 26, 2008 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on July 28, 2009 (“Amendment No. 2”), and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 23, 2010 (“Amendment No. 3”). The Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 is referred to herein as the “Amended Schedule 13D”.

The Amended Schedule 13D and this Amendment relate to the common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”) of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., a California corporation (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment is being filed pursuant to a Joint Reporting Agreement dated July 9, 2008, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Schedule 13D, among and on behalf of the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D. The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13D. All Rule citations used in this Amendment are to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of such Item:

On June 15, 2011, in accordance with the Certificate of Determination, the Partnership’s 1,870 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock having a price of $852 per share automatically converted at a conversion price of $0.852 per share into an aggregate of 1,870,000 shares of Common Stock upon the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock casting votes approving such conversion at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on June 15, 2011.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

In addition, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board under the Investor Rights Agreement as described in Items 4 above and 6 below, of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Bradley.
