Dear Ms. [redacted],

On March...

22, 2014, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime, when she purchased a 2008 [redacted] Series. Our customer also purchased a 5 year/50,000 mile vehicle service contract, administered by [redacted]. Included you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and the [redacted] Protection Plan Vehicle Coverage agreement for your reference.
All DriveTime vehicles are thoroughly inspected prior to sale at our DriveTime inspection centers. The vehicle met DriveTime and Department of Transportation standards.
On May 22, 2014, our customer contacted [redacted] regarding issues with the vehicle not starting, transmission issues, and warning lights coming on. [redacted] referred our customer to the nearest repair facility and advised him there would be a $100.00 deductible.
Later that day, the repair facility contacted [redacted] recommending the replacement of the crank sensor. The crank sensor was denied as a non-covered component per the limited warranty.
On June 20, 2014, our customer contacted DriveTime regarding the crank sensor not being covered. We offered our customer a payment deferment to assist with the out of pocket cost to complete the repairs. Our customer declined our offer and requested to exchange vehicles. We advised our customer that exchanging vehicles would not be an option at this time.
On June 30, 2014, we contacted our customer regarding and came to an amicable resolution.
At this time, DriveTime has agreed to split the cost of the repairs with our customer a one-time goodwill exception.
As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25 credit to our customer’s principal balance.

Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference. DriveTime temporarily ceased credit reporting to all three major credit bureau agencies. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customer.

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.This is not acceptable $25 for 4 1/2 months of headache being pulled over 3 times. Being lies to repeatedly by drivetime in mechanicsville ,va. It's now been 13 days since customer relations said they would have an answer and have my plates to me. I want the last 3 months of my payments which equals $1461.00 credit to my account. I am a mitary spouse and cannot get on base thus asking a friend for theist 4 months this has been a huge inconvenience. I feel this amount is small considering the constant lying and rudeness of this company. Best regards[redacted]

Complaint #[redacted]To Whom It
May Concern: Thank you for bringing
this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our
customer’s concerns. On November 22,
2014, our customer entered...

into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract
with DriveTime when she purchased a 2011 Honda Accord. Attached you will
find the Simple Interest
Retail Installment Contract for your reference. In a simple
interest loan, interest is charged per day on the financed balance remaining.
Each payment made would first apply towards the amount of daily interest. Any
additional amount paid would then be applied to the principal balance of the
loan. At the time of purchase our customer had the opportunity to sign and
review his Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract. On page three under
subsection Finance Charges it states:            “This
is a simple interest Contract. The finance charges you pay will depend on how
you make your payments. Your actual finance charges may be more than the
disclosed Finance Charges if you make your payments late or in less than the
scheduled amount.”On July 9, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and stated that she
would like to change her payment due dates to the 8th of every month.
DriveTime advised our customer that this could only be done once throughout the
life of the loan. Our customer understood. On July 27, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and stated that she
would like to modify her payment due dates. Our customer stated that her pay
checks post after her payment due dates. Our customer was advised that
DriveTime would submit the due date modification request. Our customer was
advised to follow up with DriveTime to complete the process. Our customer did
not make any attempts to follow up with DriveTime in regards to this matter.On August 10, 2015, DriveTime contacted our customer and advised her of
the status of the account. Our customer advised DriveTime that she had
submitted a request to have her due dates changed. Our customer was advised the
request was not completed. Our customer understood. On September 3, 2015, DriveTime contacted our customer and advised her
of the status of her account. DriveTime advised our customer that due date
change request was not completed. Our customer understood. On September 4, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime and stated that
she would like to modify her payment due dates. At this time, our customer was
mistakenly advised that she was not eligible for a due date modification. Our
customer was not satisfied with this response and ended the call.On October 12, 2015, DriveTime contacted our customer and advised her
of the status of the account. Our customer stated that she gets paid on the 9th of every month and would prefer her payments to be due on the 10th of every month. Our customer was advised that her account information would be
forwarded to a supervisor to review for modification eligibility. On November 6, 2015, DriveTime contacted our customer to address her
concerns and reach an amicable resolution. Our customer was advised that
DriveTime would process the due date modification request.. Our customer was
advised that she would be hearing from DriveTime once the request was processed
and the required disclosure was available to be read. Our customer understood
and expressed satisfaction with this resolution. On November 10, 2015, our customer’s modification was complete. Our
customer’s new due date is the 10th of every month, beginning
December 10, 2015. We apologize for
any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused. As a goodwill
gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25.00 credit towards the principal balance of
the vehicle. If our customer has any additional concerns, we encourage her to

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.
I was told, on July 3, 2014, by a member of the management team at Drive Time ([redacted]) that the title for this vehicle was ordered "about three weeks ago", then I'm told the title was just ordered (after I filed my complaint). I was told that the title "should arrive" by Friday, July, 18, 2014. I have given them three business days (Fri, Sat and Mon) and still nothing. I talked to the Manager ([redacted]) on Sat, July 12, 2014, because I had a problem with my account. He told me that he would check into the problem and call me back on Monday, July 14 and I never heard back from him. Throughout this entire process, other than my salesperson, ([redacted]) who I might add has been extremely professional and the Manager [redacted], (who was also extremely  professional) who works at the Drive Time [redacted], Texas location (talked to him when I couldn't get any direct answers from anyone at the [redacted] locale) this experience with Drive Time, [redacted], has been a nightmare. The vehicle should have never been sold to me without a Title and if the person/persons responsible for checking in inventory had followed protocol, I wouldn't be in this mess. If it was up to me, I would return the vehicle and buy one from the [redacted] location. Other than [redacted], I can't seem to trust anyone else (especially management) at the [redacted] locale.
Regards,
[redacted]

Please see the attached PDF for the full response In order for a proper assessment of coverage to be made, a repair facility must perform a diagnostic test to determine what repairs are needed. The repair facility would then need to contact Aeverex to file a repair claim. Once a repair facility files a claim with Aeverex regarding the repairs needed, Aeverex can assess if the repairs are covered under our customer’s Vehicle Service Contract. Likewise, some repair facilities will not immediately know the cause of the concerns that arise. This is because some mechanical concerns can be caused by a number of different issues. Since our correspondence on September 14, our customer has elected not to return to the OEM to have the approved repairs completed and an electrical diagnosis. On September 19, 2016, we spoke with our customer to address his concerns. We encouraged him to return to the OEM for further diagnosis of the vehicle and for a claim to be filed with Aeverex. In addition, we advised that we would request an itemized estimate from Aeverex for any non-covered components for review, and the option for possible assistance. As our customer is adamant that the OEM is aware of the electrical issues and has not reported them to Aeverex, DriveTime has taken the initiative to request for Aeverex to contact the OEM regarding the specifics of our customer’s electrical concerns. To DriveTime’s knowledge, all mechanical issues demonstrated by the vehicle and diagnosed by the repair facility have been approved by Aeverex. Should the OEM determine that the vehicle has severe electrical issues as our customer stated in his complaint, DriveTime is willing to re-assess any assistance available once a claim is filed with Aeverex. At this time, a repair facility has not confirmed nor indicated additional repair concerns.

Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference. On October 28, 2015, our customer contacted Aeverex with multiple vehicle concerns. Aeverex authorized the use of an out-of-network repair facility as an exception due to our customer’s low mileage at the time. On November 25, 2015, out-of-network repair facility filed a claim with Aeverex for the battery, an oil change, oil pan, rear upper control arm. As none of these items were covered under the Vehicle Service Contract, Aeverex denied the claim. Our customer contacted DriveTime for possible assistance. On November 30, 2015, the in network repair facility called Aeverex to add battery protection pads, oil pan bolts, sunroof assembly, and cross member. On December 3, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime to discuss the repair concerns. At that time a Customer Relations agent advised that after review we would make a one-time exception to cover the repair of the cross member for $965.00. Our customer would be responsible for the remaining repairs. …CONTINUED IN FULL RESPONSE

On September 23,...

2011, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract when she purchased a 2008 [redacted]. Included you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.
On June 25, 2014, our customer informed us her vehicle had been involved in an accident and was deemed a total loss by her insurance company.
Our customer’s insurance company has relinquished a check for the fair market value of her vehicle in exchange for the vehicle’s title. After the check was applied, the remaining balance of our customer’s loan was $2,391.37.
On July 8, DriveTime contacted our customer to address her concerns. We informed her as a one-time courtesy, DriveTime would delete trade-line reporting to the three (3) major credit agencies. Drivetime also waived the delinquency balance of $2,391.37. Our customer agrees this course of action adequately addresses her issues, and we have come to an amicable resolution. Our customer was emailed the necessary documents, which detail the steps DriveTime has taken in regards to her credit reporting.
As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has mailed our customer a $25 [redacted] gift card to her address on file.

Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.We have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer. On February 16, 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 him. We encourage our customer to contact DriveTime at ###-###-####, to address his concerns.We have also reviewed our customers account and have found the following:- On June 11, 2014, DriveTime received notice that our customer’s vehicle was impounded. This impound was due to his girlfriend parking on a private property. Our customer was responsible to pay $2,154 to redeem his vehicle. This redemption fee equated from the impound company charges along with DriveTime’s recovery fees. Our customer paid the amount required and redeemed his vehicle.- The most recent impound from the police occurred on December 19, 2015, with our customer’s girlfriend who has had possession of the vehicle in another state.- Due to an arrest, our customer and DriveTime were not notified that the vehicle had been impounded. Therefore, up until February 2015, our customer was stating that the vehicle had been stolen or lost and wanted us to locate it. We advised our customer that if he provides a police report we could send the GPS location of the vehicle to the police.- Once the vehicle was located at an impound lot, DriveTime recovered it to prevent further storage fees. Our customer is responsible to pay $1,842.87 to redeem his vehicle. The redemption deadline is February 21, 2015.Our customer is stating DriveTime turned off the GPS tracking device to run a $2,000 bill as ransom. Our customer has the Skylink service to log-on and locate the vehicle at anytime. If our customers want DriveTime to locate the vehicle, a police report is needed and that location would then be sent to the police. The impounds and charges that occurred over the past year were valid and arose due to a third party having possession of the vehicle. Our customer is still responsible for the account balance regardless of any agreements made with a third party to take possession of the vehicle and payments. We are unable to accommodate our customer’s request to refund the amount he has paid into the loan due to the issues stemming from domestic matters.As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has mailed a $25 American Express to our customers’ address on file.
