On March 25, 2020, analyst Citron Research published a report in which Citron first highlighted the steep upward trend in subprime auto loan delinquencies.

Citron further called into question the accuracy of the reported book value of CACC's loans.
On April 20, 2020, after the markets closed, the Company disclosed that it would not timely file its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2020. In one day, the price of CACC shares fell $40.71 per share, or over 13%.
