ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this report is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Item 1.01.

On June 29, 2005, the registrant, Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. ("CPS"), and
its wholly owned subsidiary CPS Receivables Corp. ("Subsidiary") entered into a
series of agreements under which Subsidiary purchased from CPS, and sold to CPS
Auto Receivables Trust 2005-B, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust")
approximately $91.4 million of subprime automotive receivables (the "Initial
Receivables"). Subsidiary also committed to purchase and to sell to the Trust,
and CPS committed to sell to Receivables, an additional $46.1 million of similar
automotive receivables (the "Subsequent Receivables").

CPS disclaims any implication that the agreements relating to such transactions
are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of CPS's business.

ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

The information contained in CPS's press release dated June 30, 2005, filed
with this report as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by this reference.

CPS, Subsidiary, the Trust and others on June 29, 2005 entered into a
series of agreements that, among other things, created long-term obligations
that are material to CPS, Subsidiary and the Trust. Under these agreements (i)
CPS sold the Initial Receivables to Subsidiary, and committed to sell the
Subsequent Receivables to Subsidiary not later than July 31, 2005, (ii)
Subsidiary sold the Initial Receivables to the Trust, and committed to sell the
Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, (iii) the Trust pledged the Initial
Receivables, and committed to pledge the Subsequent Receivables, to Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. ("Wells"), as indenture trustee for benefit of the holders of the
Notes (as defined below), and for benefit of the Insurer (as defined below),
(iv) the Trust issued and sold $130.6 million of asset-backed notes, in two
classes (such notes collectively, the "Notes"), (v) a portion of the proceeds
from the sale of the Notes was pledged to the Trustee for benefit of the holders
of the Notes, to be used to fund the purchase price of the Subsequent
Receivables, (vi) an insurance company, Financial Security Assurance Inc. (the
"Insurer"), issued a policy (the "Policy") guaranteeing payment of principal and
interest on the Notes, and (vii) a cash deposit (the "Reserve Account") in the
amount of 3.00% of the aggregate balance of the Initial Receivables was pledged
for the benefit of the Insurer.

Security for the repayment of the Notes consists of the Initial Receivables and,
when and if sold, the Subsequent Receivables (together, the "Receivables"), and
the rights to payments relating to the Receivables. The Receivables were
originated or purchased by CPS and CPS will act as the servicer of the
Receivables. Credit enhancement for the Notes consists of
over-collateralization, the Reserve Account, the Policy, which guarantees the
obligations of the Trust to pay interest on, and repay the principal balance of,
the Notes, and a first-loss reinsurance policy. Wells will act as collateral
agent and trustee on behalf of the secured parties, and is the backup servicer.


                                       2


The Notes are obligations only of the Trust, and not of Subsidiary nor of CPS.
Nevertheless, the Notes are properly treated as long-term debt obligations of
CPS. The sale and issuance of the Notes, treated as secured financings for
accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other purposes,
including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of the Trust or
Subsidiary are available to pay other creditors of CPS or its affiliates.

Upon completion of the anticipated July 2005 sale of the Subsequent Receivables
to the Trust, the Trust will hold a fixed pool of amortizing assets. The Trust
is obligated to pay principal and interest on the Notes on a monthly basis.
Interest is payable at fixed rates on the outstanding principal balance of each
of the two classes of the Notes, and principal is payable by reference to the
aggregate principal balance of the Receivables (adjusted for chargeoffs and
prepayments, among other things) and agreed required over-collateralization.

At such time as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables
is less than 10% of the initial aggregate balance of $137.5 million, CPS will
have the option to purchase the trust estate at fair market value, provided that
such purchase price is sufficient to cause the Notes to be redeemed and paid in
full, and to cause other obligations of the Trust to be met.

If an event of default were to occur under the agreements, the Insurer would
have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, and the required amount
of the Reserve Account would increase to an amount equal to the outstanding
aggregate principal balance of the Notes. Such increase would have the effect of
redirecting to the Reserve Account the cash proceeds of the Receivables that
otherwise would be released to Subsidiary, until such time, if any, as the
Reserve Account reached the increased required level. Events of default include
pool performance ratios, in addition to such events as failure to make required
payments on the Notes, breaches of warranties, representations or covenants
under any of the agreements or specified bankruptcy-related events. In addition,
if the Receivables (pledged as security for the Notes) were to experience net
loss ratios, delinquency ratios, or default rates that are higher than specified
levels, the existence of such a "trigger event" would also increase the Reserve
Account requirements, though to a lesser extent, which would also have the
effect of redirecting to the Reserve Account certain cash proceeds of the
Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary.

IRVINE, Calif. - June 30, 2005 - Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:

issuing $130.6 million of Notes backed by automotive receivables.

In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $130,625,000 of
Notes backed by automotive receivables originated by Consumer Portfolio
Services. The Notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2005-B, consist of two

Investors Services and were based on the structure of the transaction, CPS's
experience as a servicer and a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by
Financial Security Assurance Inc.

The weighted average effective coupon on the Class A-1 and A-2 Notes is approximately 4.23%. The 2005-B transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit and first loss protection in the aggregate amount of 10.50% of the original receivable pool balance, plus a subordinated interest. That enhancement level is to be supplemented by accelerated payment of principal on the Notes to reach a combined level of 21.25% of the then-outstanding receivable pool balance. The transaction utilized a pre-funding structure, in which CPS sold approximately $91.4 million of receivables on the 29th and plans to sell approximately $46.1 million of additional receivables during July 2005. This further sale is intended to provide CPS with financing for receivables originated primarily in the month of June. The transaction was a private offering of securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities law. All of such securities having been sold, this announcement of their sale appears as a matter of record only. ABOUT CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. Consumer Portfolio Services purchases, sells and services retail installment sales contracts originated predominantly by franchised dealers for new and late model used cars. The company finances automobile purchases through dealers under contract across the United States. - ------------------ CONTACT: Consumer Portfolio Services Inc., Irvine Charles E.
