vehicle service contract. Included you will find the simple interest retail installment contract and the vehicle service contract for your reference. On on July 12, 2014 our customer sent an authorized third party to pick up her plates. Prior to this, we supplied our customer with temporary tags. On June 17, 2014 our customer took her vehicle to a repair facility for a PCM, coil pack, and spark plug repair. As a courtesy DriveTime covered approximately 70% of the cost of the repairs. On June 19, 2014 we informed our customer that we could offer rental reimbursement up to $25.99 per day as a courtesy though the repairs were non covered components. We have attempted to reach out to our customer on several occasions and have been unsuccessful in reaching her.

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 are giving you lies. I gave them all my contact information and I also e-mailed them with all the problems. They told me they could not respond to e-mails even though they have been sending them to me. If this shows up on my credit I am going to put a lawsuit against them for more than we owe. Someone needs to help me or I am going to my attorney

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns. On March 11, 2015, our customer contacted Aeverex and expressed concerns about a loud noise coming from the vehicle when turning. Aeverex authorized our customer to take the vehicle to an out-of-network repair facility. On March 12, 2015, a repair facility filed a claim with Aeverex for the struts, brake pads, and rotors. Aeverex requested a third-party inspector be sent to the repair facility to verify and document the failures on these parts. On March 13, 2015, the third-party inspector contacted Aeverex and advised there were no failures or abnormalities demonstrated with the struts, brake pads, and rotors at this time. Aeverex approved the diagnostic fee under the terms of the DriveCare Limited Warranty, but all repairs were denied due to no documented failures. Attached is the inspection report for your review. 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...”On April 8, 2015, we spoke with our customer and attempted to address her concerns. We advised our customer that due to a lack of documented mechanical failures, we were unable to approve the repairs on her vehicle. However, we offered our customer payment deferments should she choose to pay out of pocket for these preventative maintenance items.Without any new information, DriveTime is still unable to accommodate our customer’s request for DriveTime to replace the brake pads and struts on the vehicle. If our customer is having further mechanical issues with her vehicle, we encourage her to contact Aeverex at ###-###-####.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

On February 7, 2015, an out-of-network repair facility filed a claim with Aeverex for struts, a tie rod, alignment, a strut mount, front and rear links, and shocks. A third-party inspector was called in to verify the failures on the vehicle.

We encouraged our customer to take the vehicle to a repair facility to have the current issues diagnosed. Once a claim has been filed with Aeverex, we will review options to assist with any non-covered repairs.

his loan · Our customer states DT held off on repairing the vehicle until the limited warranty expired · Our customer states the current engine failure was caused by a lack of maintenance on the vehicle before he purchased it Desired Resolution: · After review of our customer’s estimate, DriveTime has offered a 25/75 split, in which we would pay 25% of the repair costs, and our customer would be responsible for the remaining 75% · We offered our customer six payment deferments, should he pay for his portion of the repairs · Our customer declined this assistance and advised he would continue to pursue the matter
They failed to review the calls and I would like to know how they were able to "CLOSE" the case when I was speaking with a rep yesterday 03-10-16; that they would review the calls since they have not had a chance. I also opened another complaint with the CFPB in regards to this matter and based on the conversation had with a rep on 03-07-16 for illegally placing a Cease and Desist on my account without me requesting one.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to re-address our customer’s concerns.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 September 18, 2015, an out-of-network repair facility updated a claim with Aeverex stating the timing cover gasket, coolant, cross over gasket, body control module, level sensor and reprogramming of the PCM.On October 2, 2015, DriveTime made an exception to the DriveCare Plus Protection Package by covering 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 required our customer to bring her account current as it currently reflected as past due by $361.70. That same day, our customer made a payment of $361.70 to bring the account to a current standing.The next day, a regular scheduled bi-weekly payment of $177.85 became due on the account. Since that time, when the account has fallen delinquent, DriveTime made normal attempts to contact our customer in regard to curing the delinquency balance. On January 15, 2016, we have placed a cease and desist on our customer’s account so no outbound calls can be made to our customer as requested. If our customer would like to discuss the account at all, she would be required to contact DriveTime.Since that time, our customer’s account has remained delinquent. DriveTime had not received any communication from our customer in regard to the delinquency balance. In addition, DriveTime was unable to contact our customer in regard to her account status because the cease and desist remained active on the account per the customer’s request.On March 2, 2016, at 39 days past due, DriveTime placed the vehicle out for recovery. In the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract under the section labeled “default” it states:“You will be in default if you do not make any payment in full when such payment is due…If your only default is that you did not pay a payment on time, we may accelerate this contract only if your default continues for at least 30 days…Additionally, we may take back (repossess) the Vehicle.”The next day, the vehicle was recovered. Our customer contacted DriveTime to inquire about redeeming the vehicle. DriveTime advised our customer that she would be responsible to pay the past due balance and recovery fees in order to redeem the vehicle.On March 4, 2016, our customer paid all fees associated with redeeming the vehicle. At that time, our customer was able to continue her Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime.At this time, we are unable to refund our customer the cost of the recovery fees as the recovery of the vehicle was valid. We are glad to see our customer was able to redeem the vehicle and reinstate her Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract.We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused. We request that the Revdex.com consider this matter as resolved.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

July 29, 2016 Revdex.com Ph. (602) 264-5299 Fax (602) 263-0997 Re: Complaint #[redacted] To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to re-address our customer’s concerns. The DriveTime Champ program is designed to benefit customers who have paid off a car with us and reward them for a second purchase. It allows our customers to trade in their vehicle with typically no money down and a possible lower APR. Our customers qualify for this program when their remaining balance is $4,500 or less and payments have been made on time. The specific benefits presented to any Champ customer depend on their account status and payment history, and the vehicle they are interested in trading into. It is not possible to know what offer can be made to a specific customer until we are able to review those factors. On June 14, 2016, our customer spoke with our dealership about the Champ program. Our representative described the benefits of the program. At that time, our customer owed approximately $6,000.00, had a trade value of approximately $500.00, and had $1,000.00 available to pay towards his remaining balance. These figures together would put his balance at approximately $4,500.00, and qualify him for Champ review. Pursuant to his initial submission to the Revdex.com, our representative contacted our customer to discuss his specific situation. Based on that conversation, and the specific vehicle being considered for purchase, our customer was advised that approximately $2,000.00 would be required to utilize the Champ program to obtain his desired vehicle.

serif;"> Revdex.com Ph. (602) 264-5299 Fax (602) 263-0997 Re: Complaint # [redacted] To Who It May Concern: Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On May 6, 2014, our customer entered into a Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease with DriveTime, when she leased a 2006 Nissan Sentra. While DriveTime originated the Lease and is the Lessor, Bridgecrest Credit Company is the servicer for the Lease. The vehicle came with a Driver’s Seat Limited Warranty, administered by Aeverex. On September 29, 2016, our customer contacted Bridgecrest to report that her vehicle was in a total loss accident on September 27, 2016 and to provide insurance information. On this same day, our customer contacted DriveTime to express her frustration that the vehicle’s blue book value was significantly less than the lease price, and that there was an airbag related recall on the vehicle in May of 2015 that she was not notified of. Recalls are administered by the vehicle manufacturers and their franchisees. We are not allowed to do any recall work and in some cases may not receive manufacturer notices. As a listed lessee, the manufacturer should have sent a notice to our customer. In addition, we also clarify in our customer’s warranty contract that the warranty provides no benefits or coverage towards any cost or other benefit that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has responsibility for, including public recalls or factory service bulletins.
