Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 18, 2005, Credit Acceptance Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it had received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") denied the Company’s request for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market and determined to delist the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Market effective with the open of business on Wednesday, July 20, 2005. The Panel’s decision was based on the Company’s failure to comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), which requires the filing of quarterly and annual reports with the Nasdaq. On June 24, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing a change in accounting methodology for its loan portfolio and the Company’s pending restatement of its previously reported financial results. On June 29, 2005, the Company submitted a request to the Panel for an extension of time to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its required 2005 filings. Previously, on May 27, 2005, the Panel had granted an extension through June 30, 2005.

At this time, the Company does not intend to appeal the Panel’s decision. The Company intends to reapply for listing on the Nasdaq National Market as soon as possible after it has completed the process of restating its financial statements and has become current with its periodic reports.

The press release, dated July 18, 2005, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
