service and support. DriveTime strives to make each customer’s experience both rewarding and pleasant while ensuring that every customer is treated with the utmost respect. On September 7, 2013, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2010 Jeep Patriot. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference. On September 29, 2013, our customer enrolled in Auto Pay. DriveTime’s Auto Pay option allows our customers to have their payments automatically withdrawn on specified dates in order to avoid late payments or fees. In order to cease this automatic withdrawal, DriveTime must be notified 48 hours prior to the next scheduled payment. On June 3, 2015, a $200 referral credit was applied to our customer’s account. DriveTime offers a Loyalty Program that offers a credit of $200 to be applied to our customer’s account. This credit applies towards the account after the referred customer makes their first payment on their new loan. On June 7, 2015, our customer’s regular payment of $200.48 was drafted from her account due to her enrollment in Auto Pay. On June 8, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime’s corporate offices to ask about the payment withdrawal. Our customer informed us that a referral credit of $200 should have applied to her account to cover her payment. We informed our customer that in order for the previously applied referral credit to take place of her automatic payment, she would have needed to cancel her Auto Pay. We advised our customer that Auto Pay must be cancelled 2 days prior to scheduled payments in order to prevent the automatic withdrawal. Our customer stated she was not informed of this process and the $200.48 that was withdrawn caused her to overdraft her account by $199.48. On June 10, 2015, the payment was returned due to insufficient funds resulting from a stopped payment. We have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer to discuss her concerns. On June 15, 2015, 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. We encourage our customer to contact our Customer Relations department at ###-###-####, so that we may come to an amicable resolution.

concerns.On August 08, 2015,

our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with

DriveTime when she purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. Our customer opted to

purchase a 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract (VSC), administered by

Aeverex. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract

and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.All DriveTime

vehicles are thoroughly inspected prior to sale at our DriveTime inspection

centers. Parts that fail inspection are replaced. However, if a part is

functioning at the time of inspection, there is no need to replace it. On September 2,

2015, our customer called in to Aeverex and stated that the check engine light

had come on, the brake pedal was making noise, and that the vehicle hesitates

when going. Aeverex advised our customer to take the vehicle into an in-network

repair facility for diagnostic. On October 16,

2015, an in-network repair facility called in a claim to Aeverex for the repairs

of the hydraulic booster and engine mounts. Aeverex advised the in-network

repair facility that these components were non-covered under the Vehicle

Service Contract. On that same day,

our customer contacted DriveTime and stated that the vehicle was in need of

repairs that are non-covered under the Vehicle Service Contract. DriveTime

advised our customer that we would request an estimate from Aeverex for these

concerns and review for a possible exception to the Vehicle Service Contract. On October 20, 2015,

DriveTime made a one-time exception to the Vehicle Service Contract to cover

the cost of repairs of the hydraulic booster and engine mounts for a total of

$1,025.35. At this time, all

repairs that have been called in to Aeverex have been approved for our

customer. We encourage our customer to obtain an updated diagnostic from an

in-network repair facility if she is experiencing additional mechanical

concerns. Once an updated claim is received, DriveTime would like to review additional

concerns for possible assistance. DriveTime has made

multiple attempts to contact our customer to reach an amicable resolution but

we have not been able to make contact. We encourage our customer to contact

caused. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a credit to our customer’s

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.

On July 22, 2014, our customer entered into a simple interest retail installment contract when she purchased a 2008 Pontiac G5. Our customer elected to purchase a 3...

year/36,000 mile vehicle service contract. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.

DriveTime does not compete on price, nor do we hide it. We encourage our customers to research all aspects of their purchase. Our customer had the opportunity to sign and review the following documents:

? Buyer’s Guide

? Retail Purchase Agreement

? Protection Plan Vehicle Coverage

? What you need to know about financing a vehicle with Drivetime

? Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract

Attached you will find a copy of the above referenced documents for your review.

DriveTime’s vehicle pricing is subject to several factors. Included in the total price of the vehicle are the following benefits:

? Multi-point inspection

? 3 year/36,000 mile limited warranty

? Rental reimbursement up to $25.99 per calendar day + applicable tax, on warranty-covered repairs

? Roadside assistance, up to $75 per incident

? GPS device providing anti-theft services

? GAP Coverage

At the time of purchase, our customer signed and reviewed "What you need to know about financing a vehicle with DriveTime." On page one under subtitle "Financial", it states:

"Your contract is a ‘simple interest’ contract. That means a "finance charge" (interest) is charged each day on the amount you financed with us. When you make a payment, your payment pays interest and then it pays/reduce the amount financed.

If you pay late, your contract continues to charge interest. When you make your payment late more of your payment has to go to pay the extra interest. This means less of your payment goes to pay/reduce the amount financed and it can take longer to pay off your contract with us. We strongly encourage you to make your payments on time!"

Attached you will find the "What you need to know about financing a vehicle with DriveTime" for your reference.

At the time of sale, our customer purchased a vehicle service contract. We encourage our customer to review page 3 of 9 of the "Protection Plan Vehicle Coverage" contract. Under section Covered Parts, it outlines the coverages for both the 36 month /36,000 mile coverage and the 60 month/50,000 mile coverage. Attached you will find the Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.

On September 16, 2014, we contacted our customer to address her concerns. We advised our customer we need a claim on file to review for assistance. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime offered to cover the first hour of diagnostic time at the original equipment manufacturer.

At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer request to cancel her contract. Any non-covered repairs can be review for possible assistance.

As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has credited our customer’s principal balance $25.00.

DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at [redacted]- [redacted].

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns On December 1 and 2, 2014, our customer contacted Aeverex with concerns about a knocking noise while driving and air conditioner issues. Aeverex referred our customer to an in-network repair facility to have the vehicle diagnosed.On December 3, 2014, an in-network repair facility called a claim into Aeverex for a suspension diagnosis, alignment, and HVAC diagnosis. The suspension diagnosis was approved in full under the terms of the DriveCare Limited Warranty; however, the alignment and HVAC diagnosis were not covered. Aeverex made an exception to approve the alignment, but the HVAC diagnosis was not approved.On April 29, 2015, our customer contacted Aeverex and advised she was still having the same issues with an odor coming from the air conditioner from the first 30 days of the loan. Aeverex advised our customer that there was no coverage for odor in the vehicle under the terms of the DriveCare Limited Warranty.On May 1, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime stating there was a ventilation issue with the vehicle that was making her sick. Our customer stated she did not have the funds to get the vehicle fixed and was considering voluntarily surrendering the vehicle.On May 7, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and advised she would be voluntarily surrendering the vehicle the next day due to the ventilation issues with the vehicle. We advised our customer to send us documentation of the issues with the vehicle so we could review options to assist.On May 18, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and advised she would be returning the vehicle because it had no heat or air conditioning, and she no longer wanted it. We advised our customer of the process for voluntary surrender and the ramifications a voluntary repossession would have on her credit. Later that day, our customer returned the vehicle to the DriveTime dealership where she purchased.All DriveTime vehicles are thoroughly inspected at our DriveTime inspection centers prior to sale. Parts that fail inspection are replaced. However, if a part is functioning at the time of inspection, there is no need to replace it.On the Customer Delivery Checklist under “Important Reminder,” it is stated: “Our focus of the multi-point inspection is primarily the safety and reliability of your vehicle…Please insure you are comfortable with the condition of the vehicle prior to purchasing.” Additionally, on the Customer Delivery Checklist under “Maintenance Items,” it is stated: “…These maintenance items are subject to replacement only upon failure of the component...” Without any new information, DriveTime is still unable to accommodate our customer’s request to be reimbursed all the funds she has paid into the loan. As an alternative form of assistance, should our customer be willing to enter into a Full Settlement and Release of Claims with DriveTime, DriveTime is willing to waive the deficiency balance on her account and delete her trade line from her credit reporting.

Re: Complaint # [redacted]

Dear Ms. [redacted],

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.

All DriveTime vehicles are thoroughly inspected prior to sale at our DriveTime inspection centers. Parts that fail inspection are replaced. However, if a part is functioning at the time of inspection, there is no need to replace it. When we sell a vehicle to our customers, we provide all keys for the vehicle that were provided when we originally purchased the vehicle. DriveTime is unable to create additional keys prior to sale as this must be performed by the original equipment manufacturer.

On February 24, 2015, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when he purchased a 2006 BMW X Series. Our customer also purchased a 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract, administrated by Aeverex. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.

DriveTime has made several attempts to contact our customer to reach an amicable resolution. We encourage our customer to contact our customer relations department at [redacted]

At this time, DriveTime is willing to make a one-time goodwill exception to cover the cost of the key FOB replacement at the Original Equipment Manufacturer up to $400.00 in cost. In order to take advantage of this offer, our customer must contact our customer relations department at [redacted]

As an additional good-will gesture, DriveTime applied a $25.00 credit to our customer’s principal balance.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this matter may have caused. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at [redacted]
Sincerely,

DriveTime Customer Relations
Tell us why here...

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 am filing another complaint about Drivetime.I complained about the repairs I had to do on my vehicle costing me $567.00 and another $140 for issues that should not have been done on a 5 year old vehicle. and I was directed to an [redacted] in Customer Relations at drivetime. He seemed nice and acted as if he wanted to help me solved the problem of the repairs. He had me to fax in the receipts and he would work on getting credits applied for the repairs. After a week went by, [redacted] had not called back. So I called him. Did not think much about it at first but 2nd and 3rd day went by, [redacted] had not called back and that was thru this weekend. Now, here today it is Tuesady night and [redacted] has not called me. I demanded to speak to a [redacted] today, who said he was trying to reach me. No one has ringed my phone. I am so upset with Drivetime. This [redacted] man, said I had to make 3 payments totaling $545.00 for him to credit to get a $263.00 credit to my account...REALLY??!!!! What is this!!!! My repairs came out to well over $700 and they wanna give me a $263 credit but I gotta pay $545 and then another $181 that is due the following day. I need some resolution by someone who can help me with my account. [redacted] has not called me back and I have left him numerous messages !

Can I get my credit of $567 for ball and joint and $140 for the muffler system replacemt.

Regards,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns.Standard mail typically takes 7-14 business days to be delivered after it is sent. [redacted] may have sent a check on January 14, 2015; however DriveTime did not receive the check until February 4, 2015, fifteen business days following. The date a loan is paid off is dependent on the date the check is received.At the time of purchase, our customer signed and reviewed the "Important Things You Should Know" document. On page two, under subsection Payments it states:"Your payments are due on the due date. There is no grace period."Without any new information, DriveTime is still unable to accommodate our customer’s request to remove the late mark from her credit.Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at ###-###-####.Sincerely,[redacted]DriveTimeCustomer Relations

Re: Complaint # [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted],
Thank you for bringing this matter to...

our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On February 21, 2015, our customer entered into a Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Contract with DriveTime when she leased a 2007 Ford Explorer. Attached is the Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Contract for your reference.
At the time of lease, our customer reviewed and signed the Return Anytime Lease document. On page 3, Subtitle Default, Repossession, and Other Remedies, it states:
"The following are events of default: (a)You fail to pay any periodic payment when due or any other amount you owe under this Lease when we ask you for it…(c)You do not maintain required insurance."
Our customer agreed to make one initial payment of $233.27, due on March 7, 2015, followed by 59 periodic payments of $223.51 every other Saturday, to complete the terms of her lease agreement.
At the time of lease, our customers are required to obtain and provide proof insurance prior to leasing the vehicle. It is our customers’ responsibility to obtain the proper insurance for the vehicle and to ensure they are comfortable with their insurance carrier. Attached is our customer’s proof of insurance for your reference.
On April 18, 2015, a payment of $233.27 became due on our customer’s account.
On April 21, 2015, DriveTime’s Lease Customer Service received a call from our customer. Our customer made mention of a current family emergency and promised to pay $497.31 on April 30, 2015. This payment would account for her past due payment and her next scheduled payment.
On April 30, 2015, we received no payment for the promised amount of $497.31. The broken promise was noted on our customer’s account.
On May 2, 2015, a second payment of $233.27 became due, making our customer’s account $466.54 past due.

On May 17, 2015, at fifteen days and $474.77 past due, the vehicle was recovered for default. Page 3 of the Return Anytime Lease, section 11, Default, Repossession, and Other Remedies states:
"If you are in default, after waiting any time the law requires, we may… Take (repossess) the Vehicle wherever we find it and enter any property where the Vehicle may be to do so."
