On December 27, 2014, our customer contacted Aeverex with concerns about a check-engine light on in the vehicle. Aeverex referred him to multiple in-network repair facilities to have the vehicle diagnosed.Later that day, our customer contacted DriveTime with concerns about paying a $100.00...

deductible for repairs that were covered under the terms of the Vehicle Service Contract. We contacted Aeverex and made an exception to waive the deductible for any covered repairs that may be reported in an upcoming claim. However, no claims were ever filed in regard to this matter.In the last year, neither DriveTime nor Aeverex has received any further correspondence from our customer concerning mechanical issues with the vehicle. To date, no claims have ever been filed with Aeverex by a repair facility. If our customer is experiencing mechanical issues with the vehicle, we encourage him to contact Aeverex at ###-###-#### to begin the claims process.On February 1, 2016, we contacted our customer and began working toward an amicable resolution. We encouraged him to take the vehicle to an in-network repair facility for diagnosis and advised that once a claim had been filed with Aeverex, we would review options for possible assistance. Likewise, we encouraged him to send any receipts for previous out-of-pocket repair costs to us for review. Our customer was agreeable to this course of action and advised he would contact us one he had completed the abovementioned steps.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.
On July 18, 2014, we offered our customer the (3) three payment deferment that was originally requested in addition to another (1) one payment deferment. We credit (1) one payment to her account once her July 17, 2014 payment was made. We set a promise to pay for Friday, July 25, 2014.
On July 28, 2014, we reached out to our customer to let her DriveTime’s one payment credit to her account had posted and we were still waiting on her agreed upon payment. Our customer stated she did not have a payment until the August 2, 2014. We reiterated that her July 17, 2014 payment needed to be made in order for the deferment to go through. We advised her that payment needed to be made by August 2, 2014 otherwise the deferment would expire.
On August 6th and 7th, we attempted to reach our customer. We left voicemails asking her to contact us regarding the account status.
On August 7, 2014, we overnighted a No Contact Letter for her to contact us by Monday, August 11, 2014 to go over what was needed. As of August 12, 2014, we have not received any contact.
As of August 12, 2014, our customer has yet to make the July 17, 2014 payment needed to process the 4 payment deferments and the deferment paperwork has now expired.
In a final attempt to assist our customer with a deferment, (2) two payments are now needed since she has missed the additional payment that was due on August 2, 2014. The payments would need to be made by August 14, 2014 to process the deferments resulting in a new due date of August 17, 2014. If we do not receive the (2) two payment by the above date, we will be unable to further assist our customer with deferments.

Motor Vehicle Lease Contract for your reference.At the time of lease, our customer agreed to make a first payment of $236.65 due on February 21, 2015, followed by 64 periodic payments of $236.65 due every other Saturday. The term of our lease program is designed for a specific amount of time, for this reason we are unable to process any modifications through the life of the lease.At the time of lease our customer signed and reviewed the Return Anytime Lease Agreement. On page 3, under section 11 subtitled 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…"In addition, it explains:" If you are in default, after waiting any time the law requires, we may… take (repossess) the vehicle…"Since the start of our customer’s lease agreement, her account has reached past due on eight different occasions, four of which exceeded ten days past due. During this time we have made several attempts to work with our customer and her authorized third party by setting promised payment dates. Many of these arranged payments were not met.As of July 23, 2015, our customer’s account is nine days past due with a past due balance of $295.14. Another payment of $236.65 is set to be due this Saturday, July 25th.At this time we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request. DriveTime’s Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease program allows our customers to return the vehicle and cancel the lease, anytime, with no penalties or refund.

  On November 8, 2014, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when he purchased a 2011 Chevrolet Impala. Our customer opted to purchase a 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract, administered by [redacted]. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.   DriveTime offers a Vehicle Return Program that 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 where they purchased within five calendar days. This is outlined in the Retail Purchase Agreement, which is attached for your review. When our customers’ accounts fall past due, we make daily attempts to contact them to discuss their account. Throughout the life of his loan, our customer’s account has frequently been past due. Since his account first fell past due on December 3, 2014, our records indicate that DriveTime has placed calls out to our customer no more than twice per day.   The [redacted] mini-Miranda notice requirement is limited to third-party debt collectors only. Because DriveTime provides its own loan servicing, the mini-Miranda notice requirement is not applicable to DriveTime’s loan advisors.   At the time of sale, our customer signed a document called “What you need to know when financing a vehicle with DriveTime” that states under “Recalls”: “Used vehicles may be subject to manufacturer recalls to repair, at no cost to you, mechanical or operational problems. Only new car dealers are allowed to do these repairs. You should confirm with a new car dealer that your vehicle does not require recall repairs.” The “What you need to know…” document has been attached for your reference. Our records indicate that our customer has not communicated with [redacted] regarding any of his mechanical concerns. We encourage our customer to contact [redacted] at 888-781-5649 in order to have his mechanical concerns properly addressed.   On May 19, 2015, we contacted our customer and discussed the above information. We encouraged our customer to take his vehicle to an in-network repair facility to have the current issues diagnosed. We advised that once a claim was on file with [redacted], we would review options to assist with any non-covered repairs. We also encouraged our customer to send in receipts for his previous out-of-pocket repair costs so we could review options for potential deferments. However, our customer advised he would continue to pursue matters with the Revdex.com.   At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request for DriveTime to take him out of the vehicle and credit him the money he has paid into the loan. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied $25 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 800-965-8043.   Sincerely,   [redacted]. DriveTime Customer Relations

We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns On July 3, 2015, our customer contacted [redacted] with concerns about a noise when backing the vehicle up. [redacted] referred our customer to an in-network repair facility to have the vehicle diagnosed. On July 6, 2015, an in-network repair facility filed a claim with [redacted] for the accessory drive-belt tensioner, lower ball joints, upper control arms, brake pads, rotors, and brake diagnosis. [redacted] approved all repairs and diagnostic fees in full under the terms of the DriveCare Limited Warranty. On July 10, 2015, DriveTime’s Customer Relations department contacted our customer in response to concerns she had voiced about non-covered repairs that were needed on the vehicle.

Revdex.com:
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.
While in Arizona it maybe legal but this is [redacted], on all payments any amount OVER the payment is to go directly to the PRINCIPAL balance. DriveTime has repeatedly failed to do so. Also, all INSTALLMENT companies fall under a different statute in [redacted] and fall under the PayDay Loan Law. They failed to advertise they are an installment company and have charged in EXCESS amount for a car that is NOT anywhere near the price of purchase. If they company would have complied with said laws and performed said maintenance as they claimed they do, I would have chose to not purchase a vehicle.  Pending civil litigation is in process if a resolution is not granted up to and including arbitration and criminal intent/fraud for the Installment agreement.  At this time [redacted] the person who responded has been repeated requested to direct a person of legal background or his superior, both of which he has denied to do so.  As is my right and the law I am representing myself, and his so called Legal dept would be required to respond to me, of which was denied by [redacted] for failing to properly follow directive and protocol.

On May 8, 2012, our customer entered into a simple interest retail installment contract when she purchased a 2002 GMC Envoy. The vehicle came with a 3 year/ 36,000 mile limited...

warranty. Included you will find the simple interest retail installment contract and the limited warranty agreement for your reference.
On October 9, 2013, a repair facility contacted us and recommended a starter repair. The repair facility informed us this is the second time the starter would be replaced. Our customer previously authorized and paid to replace the starter. The part was covered under the manufacturer warranty. The limited warranty covered the labor cost.
On July 18, 2014, a separate repair facility contacted us and recommended a starter repair. The started was approved under the limited warranty; however, our customer was responsible for a $250 co-pay. Later that day, our customer contacted us requesting we waive the $250 co-pay. We informed our customer the co-pay could not be waived due the amount of time and miles (7,424) driven since the last repair. Our customer informed us the mileage was incorrect. We confirmed with the repair facility that the mileage was correct.
On August 19, 2014, our customer contacted us requesting a reimbursement of $250 for the co-pay. She stated the starter had been replaced four times. Later that day, we reached out to the manufacturer to confirm the part was still under warranty. The part supplier representative informed us they would need the original part along with a copy of the purchase receipt.
On August 20, 2014, we contacted our customer and explained we are unable to obtain the original part or copy of receipt from the repair facility. We advised our customer we would be unable to refund her $250 co-pay.
On September 9, 2014, we spoke with our customer and came to an amicable resolution. As a one-time courtesy, we agreed to credit our customer’s account $125.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On July 01, 2013, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2008 Chevrolet HHR. Attached you will find the...

Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference. Prior to the time of sale, our customer had a discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcy on her credit report. In October 2014, DriveTime temporarily ceased and purged all credit reporting to all three major credit bureau agencies. This cease was due to required system enhancements taking place in the manner DriveTime reports to the credit bureaus.At DriveTime, we strive to ensure all of our credit reporting is up-to-date and accurate. After a recent extensive review, we determined that there were serious questions about the ability to report bankruptcy accounts accurately. As a result, we were unable to report accounts with previously filed bankruptcies to ensure no inaccurate reporting occurs. The change was also required to ensure DriveTime complies with Fair Credit Reporting Act guidelines. At this time, DriveTime has found a resolution to accurately report accounts that have had a previous discharged bankruptcy. We have recently updated our customer’s credit reporting with all three major credit bureaus. Our customer should be able to see the updates on her credit reporting within 30-60 days. Attached is the credit rating letter that our customer can provide to potential creditors. We strongly encourage our customer to keep a copy for her records. As a good-will gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25 credit towards our customer’s account. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at ###-###-####. Sincerely, [redacted]. DriveTime Customer Relations Department

For full response, please see attached. Bridgecrest and DriveTime made several attempts to assist our customer beyond the contract terms including offers to pay for repairs, loan modifications, and payment options. Additionally, on multiple occasions, we advised our customer the mechanical condition of the vehicle is not related to the status of his loan and does not release him from the responsibility of making payments. Our customer informed us he would not make any further payments towards the loan and requested we recover the vehicle. This is a repossession and is reported as such. Our customer did not fulfill his contractual obligation; therefore, we are unable to satisfy his request to delete the trade line from our reporting to the credit bureaus.   As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to reiterate our prior offer of assistance. The past due balance is $1,757, however, we would accept a reduced amount of $1,379 to reinstate the loan and return the vehicle to our customer. Should our customer choose to take advantage of this offer, we encourage him to contact us at ([redacted]) [redacted] to discuss all reinstatement options. If we do not hear from our customer by August 25, 2017, we will proceed with the sale of the vehicle and he will be responsible for the remaining deficiency balance.
