On May 21, 2015, our customer inquired as to why she was not notified that him insurance had lapsed. Our customer indicated that he believed the insurance was included in his loan payment The retail contract and certificate of insurance clearly provide that the insurance is separate and are not included in the loan paymentWhile insurance payments are setup on the same payment frequency as our customer’s car payments as a convenience for our customers, the payments due are made separatelyThe customer is responsible for maintaining their own insurance. In the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract under “Vehicle Insurance”: “You must insure yourself and us for the term of this Contract against loss of or damage of the Vehicle with a policy in the Buyer’s name…You agree that is the insurance proceeds do not cover the amounts you still owe us, you will pay the difference.”In the Simple Interest Retail Installment contract under “Liability Insurance Required”:“You understand that state law requires you to purchase and maintain liability insuranceWe do not provide liability insurance for you and it is not included in your contract.” On May 27, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime’s Total Loss Department to inquire about how to file a claim due to an accidentOur customer was advised that his original insurance had expired and he would have to file a claim with her primary insurance carrier if applicable Our customer indicated he did not have primary insuranceOur customer also inquired into reinstatement of his previous insurance since it was his understanding that his insurance was included in his payment Our customer was informed that *** is unable to reinstate the previous insurance policyWe also confirmed with the dealership that they understand that the insurance is not included in the payment and that they are not representing that to our customers However, in an attempt to provide assistance, DriveTime advised our customer that we will need to inspect the vehicle for the amount of damagesDriveTime’s Total Loss Department advised that after appraisal, the Gap Addendum would apply to the vehicle if it is deemed as a total lossThis will not cover the total loss but will reduce his loan balance by the amount of his loan that exceeds the fair market value of his vehicle. At this time, DriveTime is working with our customer to obtain the vehicle for inspection of collision damage. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused.

I totally understand that there will be wear and tear on the vehicle, that is not the problem, the problem is I have had the car less then a year and all these problems have come up and the fact that my tire almost fell off the vehicle with my young children in the car, I have also been sending email and calling DriveTime for over months to ask for assistance with this and the only time they respond is when I took my problem to a public forum and then to the Revdex.com, why does it take for me to go through all this for them to finally respond, sounds like they are guilty to me, otherwise they would have responded to my very first email months ago, or the one I sent months ago or the one I sent months ago, or maybe they could have responded to the calls I made to them about the problems with the vehicle, instead I had to take my problem with the car to facebook, then to other social media sites and complaint boards and finally the Revdex.com for DriveTime to respond, this company is a sham, they should not be allowed to sell a car for $16,that is only worth $2,500, they should not be allowed to sell cars that are faulty like mine and the thousands of other customers that I see have complained, this company should not be allowed to do business at allI took this car into Midas to find out what was wrong and Midas comes back with a $1,repair quote, when I presented that to DriveTime they said they would pay $of the labor and I would pay $for the parts, when I asked how they came up with a total bill of $compared to my quote at the same repair facility they went through, my cost was $1,297,
For full response, please see attached. On November 4, 2017, a payment was made for $However, this was not enough to satisfy the account delinquency as it was still days past due. On November 18, 2017, another payment came due and was not
satisfied. On December 1, 2017, at days past due, our customer’s account moved from an active to a charge off status and the vehicle was assigned for recoveryThe vehicle was successfully recovered December 5, Later this day, our customer contacted Bridgecrest to inquire what would be needed to reinstate the account and retake the vehicleWe explained she would need to satisfy at least $1,to reinstateNo further action has been taken at this time. At this time, DriveTime had made several unsuccessful attempts to reach our customer to discuss her concernsIn an attempt to reach an amicable resolution, DriveTime would be willing to release the title to our customer and update her trade line to a status of “Paid-Charge Off” once she satisfies the past due payments on the account ($1,738.00) required to reinstate the vehicleShould our customer wish to take advantage of this offer, we request she remit payment by January 7,
