Thank you for bringing this matter to our attentionWe appreciate the opportunity to re-address our customer’s concerns We thank our customer for bring this to our attentionThe account holder actually entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract when he purchased a Mini Cooper from DriveTime At this time, DriveTime has received a photographed copy of the CarFax reportHowever, it is not legibleWe have attempted to reach out to the authorized third party (ATP) to request a clearer picture of the CarFax reportWe will continue our efforts to reach and work with the ATP and the account holder, to come to an amicable resolution

I did receive a call from Carlos at Drivetime regarding my complaint to the Revdex.comHe informed me that the person that deleted the day late mark did so by mistake so they then put it back onHe informed me that it was against the law to remove a day late from your credit report (If so the person that did it before broke the law) I know this to be untrue, I am asking for a good will adjustment to my credit reportIt is not fair to my wife and I that we paid all this money for the car and worked so hard building our credit up just to have this one day late mark on our credit ruin years of hard workI do not want this on my credit report for the next yearsYou can plainly see that I did in fact trade the Altima in and that I was in constant contact with both DT and the other dealership until the payoff was receivedI am being punished for the dealership taking so long to pay off my car and that is extremely unfairTo make it worse I dealt with this exact issue in the past to the point of calling the corporate office to have it removed to which they agreed and removed it now they say "Sorry it was a mistake" Mistake or not it was deleted and should have been left deletedEven if I have to call everyday until I speak to the CEO of the company I will not rest until this negative mark is removedI am asking that DT puts themselves in my shoesWork hard for years to better your credit score paying 20% interest and $27,on a car plus working hard to make sure that all other bills are paid on time so that you can better your credit for a better future for yourself and your family, When you finally get to where you want to be it is all ruined because of simple late payment that was 100% beyond your controlHow would that make you feel? I truly appreciate DT for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to purchase a car when no other dealers would, I just ask that they now do the right thing
