CACC INVESTOR DEADLINE: Bernstein Liebhard Reminds Investors of the Deadline to File a Lead Plaintiff Motion in a Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Credit Acceptance Corporation

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Credit Acceptance Corp. (“Credit Acceptance” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CACC) from November 1, 2019 through August 28, 2020 (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased Credit Acceptance Corporation securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Credit Acceptance Corp. Shareholder Lawsuit or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll free at (877) 779-1414 or [email protected].

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) that the Company was topping off the pools of loans that they packaged and securitized with higher-risk loans; (ii) that Credit Acceptance was making high-interest subprime auto loans to borrowers that the Company knew borrowers would be unable to repay; (iii) that the borrowers were subject to hidden finance charges, resulting in loans exceeding the usury rate ceiling mandated by state law; (iv) that Credit Acceptance took excessive and illegal measures to collect debt from defaulted borrowers; (v) that, as a result, the Company was likely to face regulatory scrutiny and possible penalties from various regulators or lawsuits; and (vi) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendant’s positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and adherence to appropriate laws and regulations were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 28, 2020, the Massachusetts Attorney General (“Mass AG”) filed a lawsuit against Credit Acceptance alleging that the Company has, for years, been making unfair and deceptive automobile loans to thousands of Massachusetts consumers. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Credit Acceptance provided its investors with false and/or misleading information regarding the asset-backed securitizations they offered to investors, and that the Company engaged in unfair debt collection practices as well. In response to the public disclosure of the Mass AG lawsuit, Credit Acceptance’s stock price fell $85.36 per share, or over 18%, to close at $374.07 per share over two trading days ending on September 1, 2020.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 1, 2020. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.

Bipartisan Lawmakers to Appropriators: Follow the House Lead and Protect Wild Horses

Washington D.C., Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, lawmakers in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives sent letters to leadership urging them to ensure the final FY21 spending bill contains a key provision to reform the mismanaged and controversial Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program.

The letters, led by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN), ask Senate and House leadership to ensure that funding for PZP fertility control as an alternative to cruel and costly wild horse roundups is included in any final Fiscal Year 2021 spending deal.

“As a result of the BLM’s mass roundup strategy and removal mismanagement, there are nearly 48,000 animals in short- and long-term holding, and this number will only increase if the BLM continues to rely primarily on a failed system of mass removals. These holding facilities, like the roundups themselves, are often harmful to the health and well-being of these animals, and efforts to remove horses from the range without supplemental fertility control efforts actually increases population growth rates through compensatory reproduction,” Senator Booker states in the Senate letter.

“The humane treatment of these iconic American horses and burros must remain a priority. I’m proud to lead my colleagues in making that case,” said Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) of the House letter.

“Congress must not continue to give the BLM carte blanche to mismanage our nation’s iconic wild horse and burro herds,” said Holly Gann, Director of Government Relations for the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC). “We commend Senator Booker, Representative Cohen, and their colleagues for standing up for fiscally responsible and humane wild horse management that will benefit both the horses and the American taxpayer.”

This summer, the House passed a bipartisan amendment to its FY21 Interior Appropriations bill to require the BLM to spend $11 million dollars, or just over 10%, of its Wild Horse and Burro Program budget to implement proven and humane PZP fertility control to manage wild horse populations across the West. The Senate version of the bill does not contain the language but Senator Booker, Rep. Cohen and their colleagues are pressing for the final spending bill negotiated between the two chambers to include the provision.

The agency has accelerated removals of wild horses and burros from public land and is expanding costly corrals to triple the number of animals in holding facilities at taxpayer expense. Currently, 71% of the BLM’s budget is spent on roundup, removal and warehousing wild horses while less than 1% on safe and humane fertility control vaccines to curb population growth on the range. Under the BLM plan, the costs are expected to rise to $1 billion in just the first five years.

The American Wild Horse Campaign operates the world’s largest wild horse fertility control program in Nevada’s Virginia Range. The program is proving that PZP fertility control is a humane and cost-effective management alternative to roundups. AWHC estimates that the fertility control treatments delivered in the first year of the program will prevent approximately 690 births at a cost of $182,000. In stark contrast, BLM would spend $690,000 to round up those same horses and an astronomical $34.5 million to maintain them in holding facilities for life, resulting in a net cost to taxpayers of $35 million in a single herd area.

Cosigners of the letters include Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Reps. David Schweikert (R-AZ), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Joe Neguse (D-CO), Dina Titus (D-NV), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Peter Defazio (D-OR), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), Deb Haaland (D-NM), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), John Katko (R-NY), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), and Alcee Hastings (D-FL).

AWHC is dedicated to preserving the American wild horse in viable, free-roaming herds for generations to come, as part of our national heritage.

The Saragene test kit approved by the CDSCO uses the Company’s patented CoPrimer™ technology and is based on a test originally designed by Co-Diagnostics, who also recently announced receipt of a CE marking for its Logix Smart™ SARS-CoV-2 (genes RdRp/E) multiplex test. Both the CoSara and Co-Diagnostics test target two gene markers of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, RdRp and E-gene, to identify the presence of the virus, and were designed to meet the needs of those markets where government or regulatory bodies recommend a multi-target coronavirus diagnostic.

Dwight Egan, CEO of Co-Diagnostics, commented “Tests built on our CoPrimer technology have several advantages over other platforms, including the enhanced multiplex capabilities. We believe that the highly specific nature of the new Saragene test which follows World Health Organization guidance will help CoSara be able to play an even more active role in the battle against this pandemic.”

CoSara Director Mohal Sarabhai remarked “Our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has endorsed the hike in number of available RT-PCR tests to keep the COVID-19 positivity rate under 5%. With this clearance in place, CoSara is geared up for this challenge by providing affordable, high quality, ‘Made in India‘ 2-gene multiplex COVID-19 RT-PCR tests across the country.”

CoSara has previously received CDSCO clearance for RT-PCR tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human papillomavirus (HPV) to be manufactured and sold as IVDs in the Indian market.
