Where Credit Acceptance and Kentucky meet

The lender controls sending. Kentucky controls what it can use and where it must arrive.

  1. 01Start with Kentucky

    Ask the county clerk whether it will send the request and get the exact lender instructions before the title is mailed.

  2. 02Open the Credit Acceptance request

    Contact the new state's motor vehicle department. Credit Acceptance says that if the department needs the original title, get a request form or letter on the department's letterhead that includes the office's address and phone number.

  3. 03Use the official channel

    Send the department's request to Credit Acceptance's Title Department by fax at 866-436-4890 or by mail to Credit Acceptance Corporation, Attn: Title Department, 25505 West 12 Mile Rd., Southfield, MI 48034. In Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, and New York the customer already receives the title from the state.

  4. 04Track state receipt

    Record lender sending and Kentucky receipt separately. Keep the old-state record open until replacement proof is ready.
