To Whom It May Concern:Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the
opportunity to address our customer’s concerns....
On June 27, 2014, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail
Installment Contract with DriveTime when he purchased a 2006 BMW 3 Series. At
time of sale, our customer opted to purchase a Vehicle Service Contract
administered by Aeverex, attached for your review. The Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and a
document entitled “Important Things
You Should Know” were provided
to our customer at the time of sale to explain finance charges and simple
interest; these documents have been attached for your review.At the time of sale, our customer agreed to make 151 bi-weekly payments
of $228.60 and 1 final payment of $225.67, beginning July 25, 2014. Our
customer also agreed to finance a total of $19,418.74 with a 21.919% Annual
Percentage Rate, as outlined on page 1 of the Simple Interest Retail
Installment Contract. DriveTime does not compete on price, nor do we hide it. We encourage our
customers to research all aspects of their purchase prior to sale. We believe a
large number of our customers review inventory online, including vehicle
pricing, before coming to our dealerships. We also post the prices of our
vehicles on our public website and on all vehicles at our dealerships. At the time of sale, our customer had the opportunity to sign and review
the following documents:Simple Interest Retail Installment ContractBuyers GuideRetail Purchase AgreementDriveCare Limited Warranty AgreementWhat you need to know about financing a vehicle with DriveTimeIncluded you will find copies of the abovementioned documents for your
reference.At the time of signing, DriveTime reviews each document with our
customers and ensures they understand the information within. By signing these
documents, they are asserting that they have read and fully understand the
terms enclosed. We encourage our customers to thoroughly review all paperwork
before signing the contract. In addition, we record all of our closings, and a
centralized group typically reviews in excess of 1,000 closings each month to
ensure adherence to our standards, including the disclosure of all terms and
interest rate. If our customers are dissatisfied with their purchase for any reason,
DriveTime also offers a Vehicle Return Program that allows them to return the
vehicle and terminate their Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract within
the first five days of their loan. Please refer to page 1 of the Retail
Purchase Agreement, under “Vehicle Return Program”:“We will give you the
ability to return the Vehicle to DriveTime and terminate this retail
installment contract so long as you return the Vehicle: 1) To the DriveTime
dealership where you purchased it within five calendar days…no later than the
close of business on the fifth calendar day….”On November 30, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and stated he had
plans to pay off the vehicle. DriveTime advised him that the payoff was
$17,486.83, with $10.33 per diem, good until December 10, 2015.On December 2, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and requested a
payoff quote for the loan. DriveTime advised him the current payoff was
$17,507.49 with $10.33 per diem, good until December 13, 2015. Our customer
requested his transaction history and a copy of his contact be sent to him via
email. On December 3, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and stated that he
was previously quoted an amount less than what was stated on December 2, 2015. Currently, DriveTime has made several unsuccessful attempts to contact
our customer to address his concerns and reach an amicable resolution. We
encourage our customer to contact our Customer Relations department for further
assistance. At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request to get
him out of his Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime or
enter into a settlement with him, as DriveTime does not negotiate the price of
the vehicle at time of purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this matter may have
caused. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25.00 credit towards
our customer’s principal balance. We encourage him to contact our Customer
Relations Department at 8[redacted] with any additional questions or concerns. DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

Ms. [redacted]
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.
On August 14, 2015, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.
We understand the importance of building and maintaining a credit score. DriveTime updates the three major credit bureaus on the status of our finance accounts at month’s end. This update may take 30-60 days to reflect on the credit bureaus themselves.
On December 14, 2015, DriveTime mailed our customer a credit rating letter that reflected the current status of her account as reported by DriveTime. At this time, our customer’s account is reflecting correctly to the three major credit bureaus.
DriveTime has made multiple attempts to contact our customer in order to come to an amicable resolution. We encourage our customer to contact our customer relations department at [redacted].
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience may have caused. As a good-will gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25 credit towards our customer’s principal balance.

Re: Complaint # [redacted]
Dear Ms. Hill,
When our customer’s accounts become past due, DriveTime makes regular attempts to contact our customers to cure the delinquency balance on the account. Our customers are able to set payment arrangements on the account with a loan advisor. If these arrangements are made and kept, attempts for contact will cease.
On May 29, 2013, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander. Our customer also opted to purchase a 5 year/50,000 mile DriveCare Plus Protection Package, administered by Aeverex. At time of sale, our customer agreed to make 156 bi-weekly payments of $177.85 and one final payment of $176.51, beginning on June 15, 2013. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and DriveCare Plus Protection Package for your reference.
On October 2, 2015, DriveTime made an exception to the DriveCare Plus Protection Package by approving the repairs of the timing cover gasket, coolant housing gasket, cross over gasket and coolant for a total of $3,122.50. At that time, we requested that our customer cure her delinquency balance of $361.70. That same day, our customer made a payment of $361.70, bringing her account current.
The next day, our customer’s regular bi-weekly payment of $177.85 came due. Since that time, when the account has fallen delinquent, DriveTime has made normal attempts to contact our customer in regard to curing her delinquency balance.
At this time, we have placed a cease-and-desist on our customer’s account per her request so no further calls will be placed out to her. If our customer wishes to discuss her account in the future, she will be required to contact DriveTime.
As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25.00 credit to our customer’s principal balance.
Sincerely,
DriveTime Customer Relations
Concern:
· Our customer stated that the...
vehicle was involved in hit and run accident
· Our customer stated that her insurance company needs the vehicle’s inspection report to assist with repairs
· Our customer stated that the dealership was sending her an inspectors report but never did
DESIRED RESOLUTION:
· Our customer would like all the information DT has on the vehicle so provide to her insurance
· Our customer would like DriveTime to pay for the needed repairs
· Our customer would like DriveTime to stop contacting her about referrals
DESIRED OUTCOME: · $25.00 credit to principal balance
· DriveTime contacted our customer and advised her that we would not be able to provide her with the requested documents as this information is proprietary
· DriveTime also advised her that we would not be able to provide her assistance with the needed repairs caused by the accident
I have been to multiple tire places including the DT service department which have stated there is no way those tires could have worn in the manner in one month, 4, 000 miles. Discount Tire in Gastonia NC manager Brad even stated the only way these tires could have worn like this in a months time is if we drove cross country and back. He further stated that upon maked eye the tires do look okay but it is after I spection of inside tire you see that it is buckled. If they claim the tires are checked before I would like to see visual documentation as to what the tread reading was when they were inspected. I am absolutely appauld that DT would sell a vehicle with bad tires and make excuses as to why they are not liable. To the naked eye to inspect the vehicle the tires look fine, but once your own service personnel detect the problem that should be all the reason it should be addressed. Yes I was contacted and I did not agree or accept because I am willimg to take this as far as it needs to go. I can gather multiple statements and am willing to go to small claims court if necessary. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

To Whom It May Concern:
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.
On July 12, 2011, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix. Attached is the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.
On May 24, 2014, our customer was involved in a collision in which the vehicle was deemed a total loss.
On June 2, 2014, our customer’s third party insurance provider contacted DriveTime and requested a 10 day loan payoff quote for our customer’s loan. DriveTime advised them that the payoff was $7,572.24 good until June 6, 2014.
On June 3, 2014, DriveTime received a letter from our customer’s third party insurance provider stating that they would be sending a payoff check in the amount of $4,440.00.
On June 16, 2014, DriveTime received an insurance check in the amount of $4,440.00 and applied towards our customer’s principal balance.
On June 17, 2014, DriveTime offered our customer the opportunity to participate in our Insurance Loss Program and get into another vehicle with us. Our customer opted to not get into another vehicle with DriveTime.
DriveTime’s Insurance Loss Program allows our customers to enter in to a new loan and have the balance on the totaled loan waived and reported as paid in full. To qualify for this program our customer must meet the following criteria:

Drive time is incorrect my insurance coverage was valid and had not been canceled, the rep. stated that the insurance was one day late for payment not canceled!!!! Insurance company have grace periods and they are in place for their customers, drive time was very premature in their actions. I will have my insurance company to email me the supporting documents ASAP!! So that we may resolve this issues for wrongful repo.
That same day, our customer contacted DriveTime with warranty concerns. She stated that she was currently no longer eligible for...
warranty coverage due to driving over the allotted mileage and inquired about options for repair assistance. If this is in fact the case, our customer has driven the vehicle over 50,000 miles in slightly more than 18 months.
In her complaint, our customer also indicates she is a sales person and is using the vehicle to travel the state of Mississippi for her job. The Retail Installment Contract is clear that the vehicle is not to be used for business purposes.
Furthermore, our customer stated that the vehicle was currently at the repair facility and had been diagnosed for a catalytic convertor. We encouraged her to provide us with the diagnosis, and any repair expense receipts she wished for us to review.
On page 1 of the Vehicle Service Contract, it specifies the coverage as follows:
“This coverage terminates upon the following, which occurs first: (1) when the mileage of Your Vehicle, as measured from the current odometer, reached the Miles limit identified in Term of Contract (50,000 Miles)…”
At this time, we are currently unable to determine our customer’s odometer mileage and therefore cannot determine her eligibility for coverage per the Vehicle Service Contract.
DriveTime has made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer and further address her concerns. Attempts to reach her have been unsuccessful but will continue in an attempt to reach an amicable resolution. On June 29, 2016, we sent a letter via certified mail to our customer’s address on file. The purpose of this letter is to inform our customer of our attempts to reach out to her.
Please see the attached PDF for the full response.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns. On July 19, 2014, our customer purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Impala from DriveTime that was mistakenly listed as a 2011 Chevrolet Impala on the Simple Interest Retail Contract that she signed. On August 8, 2014, our customer contacted DriveTime with concerns about her vehicle being listed as a 2011 instead of a 2008. We advised our customer to return to the dealership to re-contract into a loan with the correct information for her vehicle. Our customer was also given the option to transfer into a different vehicle if she so desired. On August 16, 2014, the contract was amended, and our customer entered into a second Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime for the same 2008 Chevrolet Impala, now correctly listed on all documentation. The principal balance on the new loan was lowered to reflect the correct price for our customer’s vehicle. Our customer also purchased a 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract administered by Aeverex. On August 19, 2014, our customer contacted DriveTime and advised that she was unhappy with the terms of the new contract. We advised her she was within the first five days of her loan, and per the terms of her contract, she had the option to utilize the Vehicle Return Program and return her vehicle.DriveTime offers a Vehicle Return Program, which gives our customers the ability to return their vehicles to DriveTime and terminate their Simple Interest Retail Installment Contracts. To participate in the vehicle return program, our customers must return their vehicles to the dealership within five calendar days.On September 12, 2014, DriveTime credited our customer’s account one payment as a goodwill gesture, due to the issues at the time of sale. Our customer has not contacted DriveTime with any further complaints since that time. At the time of sale, our customer was provided with an [redacted] Vehicle History Report. The [redacted] Vehicle History Report may indicate a prior accident record, a rental or government vehicle, if the vehicle was registered in a storm area, and/or any theft records. If any of these items were applicable, they would be noted in the Vehicle Information section on the [redacted] History report. Per this report, our customer’s vehicle had not been in any reported accidents prior to purchase.A document entitled “What You Need to Know about Financing a Vehicle with DriveTime,” was also given to and signed by our customer at the time of sale; this document has been included for your review. In the section entitled “Title History Report – Unreported Information,” it is stated:“You have received and reviewed your title history report…. AutoCheck gets information from government and private businesses. We give this report to you as a courtesy. Use or damage information about the vehicle not listed on the report given to you may appear on reports created by other private businesses (for example, CarFax)…. You should research the vehicle thoroughly before purchasing and fill out the AutoCheck Buyback Protection Registration Form after purchasing.”On March 24, 2015, we pulled a new [redacted] Vehicle History Report for our customer’s vehicle. At this time, the report still reflects that the vehicle has not been in any reported accidents.That same day, we contacted our customer and attempted to address her concerns. Our customer stated she did not wish to speak to DriveTime further and advised she would continue to pursue this matter with the Revdex.com. If our customer is having any current mechanical issues with her vehicle, we encourage her to contact Aeverex at ###-###-####.Without any new information, DriveTime is still unable to accommodate our customer’s request to be compensated $5,175 for what she has paid into her loan thus far. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this matter may have caused.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.THEY SOLD ME A HORRIBLE CAR!! It leaks , I have a HOLE IN THE FLOOR BOARD AND NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS!! In THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I WILL BE SHOPPING FOR 3 CARS and THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT A CUSTOMER!??!??!???!?!?? REALLY!!! THEY WILL HEAR FROM MY LAWYER IF THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THIS FURTHER!!! THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE!!!Regards,[redacted]
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I don't understand how a company can't address the issues within a complaint but rather repeat themselves with the same answers and won't do a proper investigation to find out what happened with a customer's complaints. They aren't trying to address the issues or complaints that I have and that is proof in the answers they have continue to give and the refusal to do an investigation and admit there were mistakes made on the behalf. Since my initial complaint they have yet to do a thorough investigation but rather give a scripted answer and with the last answer they felt it wasn't even worth their time to give a complete answer because if I only missed a payment from August 2014 to December 2014 in the amount of 179.74 how do I owe 435.48? If the amount I owe now is smaller than the amount they stated on the last answer and the days was fewer how do I owe a smaller amount but the amount of days has increased. Drivetime continues to try and manipulate and say things that aren't true and yet fail to address any concerns or issues that I have and as a company I would thing they have more integrity and honor and would value their customers and try and address any and all issues they may have. Drivetime has yet to address the issues of the amount of money they say I owe, they have refused to do an investigation into whether I was given information regarding my account, and they refuse to admit that there were some mistakes made and as a company they need to correct those so that it does not damage me or my husband credit. At the time I made a due date change and there was a change why did I not receive an updated payment schedule or was told that information? If I was behind on my payments why would it take almost a year to give me this information and when I asked how was that possible I was never given information that made sense or added up with the amounts? Why is Drivetime not able to answer questions about how they came up with the amounts or where my money was applied to? If my payment is 203 and Drive time says I owe 179 how is that possible when it doesn't add up and drive time can't answer the question or explain how it got to that amount? I'm not looking for a handout but a fair and justice investigation and no damage to my credit. I don't want a handout but rather some answers to my questions and concerns and no damage to me or my husbands credit. I don't accept their offer of a deferment because it doesn't address my issues and doesn't hold Drivetime responsible for anything. If I as a customer have to be responsible shouldn't Drivetime be held to the same standards? If I as a customer have concerns and questions shouldn't Drivetime as a company address those issues rather than refusing to do an investigation and give a 25 dollar credit as if that addresses the issues when it doesn't? If I was told that I had missed a payment I could have made that payment if it was truly owed since it was 10 months ago and I would not have any risk to me or my husband credit? If I had missed another payment why wasn't I told that I had missed two payments when these events occurred? Why did it take for Drivetime to say that I missed payments and that I was 30 days late after I questioned the amounts and how they came to these figures? Drivetime needs to do what is right and that is a thorough investigation. I am not looking for a handout but a fair and just investigation instead of some scripted answers that don't address the problem or situation the a customer has concern's about. I don't accept Drivetime response because they aren't addressing the issue but rather is trying to make be accountable for something that isn't my fault but rather theirs. How does Drivetime get 10 days to address a complaint and I only get 3 and they give the same answer to each answer or complaint that is presented to them? I would like to be treated fair with respect to my complaint and would like Drivetime to do justice in regards to this complaint because I don't feel they aren't addressing the issues but rather just giving an answer or an offer so that the Revdex.com can say they made an offer and I refused it and how is that fair? Can Driveitme explain how they got to these numbers and where my money went? Can Drivetime do an investigation that is fair and just and not just give an answer so Revdex.com can side with them.

On May 27, 2015, we contacted our customer and explained how her account became past due over the life of the loan.

Our customer was offered payment deferments for her past due amount which she declined. Our customer’s account is still eligible for payment extensions but is no longer eligible for a due date change. June 9, 2015, we contacted our customer and reiterated the reasons account became past due. Our customer requested DriveTime to pull phone calls for the months of January and February of 2015. Our customer stated that during that time a DriveTime employee provided her misinformation regarding her account. At this time, DriveTime is unable to locate the phone calls that transpired on January 28, 2015 and on February 10, 2015. As of June 10, 2015, our customer’s account has accrued a delinquent balance of $531.66 at 32 days past due. This balance includes the two $5.00 late fees that were assessed. Our customer is responsible for payment of the past due balance owed on the account. In order to avoid negative impacts on her credit, our customer will need to keep the account below 31 days past due by the end of each month. At this time, DriveTime is willing to offer our customer a three (3) payment deferment on her account, to assist with her past due balance. If our customer would like to accept, she will need to contact the Customer Relations Department at ###-###-####, to proceed. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25 credit to our customer’s principal balance. DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at ###-###-####. Sincerely, [redacted] DriveTime Customer Relations

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to re-address our customers’ concerns.
At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customers’ request. Our customers have driven 48,741 miles in approximately a year.
On February 28, a third party inspector stated the engine was very low on oil due to a long-term oil leak form the timing cover or oil pan gasket.
Due to the mileage driven, Aeverex has requested oil change receipts. Page two of "DriveTime’s DriveCare Limited Warranty" agreement, under "gasoline engine" states:
"…DriveTime reserves the right to request maintenance records before approval of warranty claims."
Our customers have submitted repair receipts; however, the receipts do not pertain to oil changes.
In order for the repair facility to further diagnose the vehicle, Aeverex has requested our customers authorize the removal of the oil pan. Page three of "DriveTime’s DriveCare Limited Warranty" agreement, under "warranty co-payment" states:
"…If the repair vendor is unable to diagnose the problem in the first hour of labor but ultimately determines the repair is covered under DRIVECARE PLUS, DriveTime will pay for the additional diagnosis time. If the diagnosed repair is not covered under DRIVECARE PLUS, Customer will pay all additional diagnosis labor costs at the regular repair vendor rate."
We encourage our customers to submit receipts for any out of pocket expenses for possible payment assistance.
DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at [redacted].

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On June 27, 2014, our customer entered into a Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Contract for a 2007 Mercury Monterey. Our customer signed a contract agreeing to make 64...
bi-weekly payments of $218.92 beginning on July 12, 2014. Included you will find the Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease for your reference. On July 12, 2014, a payment was due for $218.92. Our customer did not make the payment as scheduled. On July 19 , 2014, DriveTime activated a buzzer within the vehicle as a courtesy to alert our customer of the past due balance. The buzzer is a device that activates upon ignition, which emits a noise to alert our customers when they are in default of the lease agreement. On July 26, 2014, a payment was due for $218.92 making our customer $437.84 past due. On August 1, 2014, DriveTime recovered its collateral due to non-payment. On August 6, 2014, DriveTime contacted our customer to clarify the normal collection processes. Our customer acknowledged our processes and had no further questions. At this time, DriveTime is unable to accommodate our customer’s request of a full refund. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25 credit to our customer’s outstanding balance.
