Servicing Specialist I

American Credit Acceptance • Meridian, ID

23h • Onsite

About The Position

At American Credit Acceptance, our mission is to help emerging credit consumers obtain affordable, reliable transportation. For many of our customers, their vehicle isn’t optional — it’s how they get to work, care for family, and move forward. When customers fall behind, that’s where you come in. As a Servicing Specialist, you’ll serve as a key point of connection between our company and our customers. You’ll have real conversations about finances, negotiate solutions, and help customers take the right next step — all while protecting the performance of the portfolio you manage. This is not a script-reading role. It’s a performance-driven position that requires resilience, sound judgment, and the ability to balance empathy with accountability. We hire at three levels (I–III) based on experience. Candidates with prior collections experience are strongly encouraged to apply. We also welcome professionals from customer service, sales, or other roles that required handling objections, meeting goals, and navigating difficult conversations.

• You can stay calm and professional during challenging conversations
• You balance empathy with firmness

Responsibilities
