Our customer confirmed that on a recent visit to the DriveTime Dealership we vacuumed the vehicle and returned it to her in a satisfactory condition.

Awaiting reimbursement on the rental vehicle - I have submitted one of the two receipts for this. The vehicle can be brought to the transmission shop once the reimbursement is complete - as expressed to Carlos at Drivetime I don't have the funds to continue to rent a vehicle AND make payments on my loan when these issues should have been resolved long before the car was even listed for sale. The lack of concern for safety or financial obligation is saddening to me. The lack of replacement of a vehicle with safety issues is upsetting.

On August 8, 2014, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract when she purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Impala from DriveTime. The Contract was subsequently assigned to DT Acceptance Corporation, now known as Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation (Bridgecrest). Our customer...
agreed to make 125 bi-weekly payments of $170.48 beginning on August 30, 2014, with one final payment of $169.09 on June 15, 2019. Additionally, she elected to purchase a 5-year / 50,000-mile Vehicle Service Contract (VSC), administered by Aeverex. The VSC and Contract are attached for your reference. Bridgecrest offers a variety of loan modifications to our customers including payment extensions/ and deferments as well as due date changes. Prior to submitting for any due date changes, Bridgecrest strides to ensure our customer will be successful in maintaining payments after the modification period. This means our customers must provide new paystubs to validate they are being paid on days alternate to the scheduled due dates. Bridgecrest allows our customer to have one due date change throughout the life of the loan. However, as loan modifications are subject for review, exceptions can be made. Bridgecrest assisted our customer with a due date change in May of 2016 to ensure her pay dates aligned with her payment due dates. Bridgecrest spoke with our customer on January 24, 2017 to discuss the status of the account. She advised us that she is being paid on opposite weeks than her due dates. We explained to her that there could only be one due date change throughout the life of the loan. There were several more conversations between Bridgecrest and our customer throughout 2017. During these phone calls, our customer advised she was being paid on opposite weeks but did not inquire into a due date change. Although it was not requested, our representatives should have been proactive in offering to review for an exception to be made....(continued on attached)

that fail inspection are replaced. However, if a part is functioning at the time of inspection, there is no need to replace it.On December 4, 2015, an in-network repair facility updated a claim with Aeverex for the repair of the interior trim and door latch. Aeverex covered the cost of the door latch repair for a total of $ 287.90 under the Drivers Seat Limited Warranty, but advised the interior trim was a non-covered component. On December 8, 2014, our customer contacted DriveTime in regard to the non-covered components. We advised our customer that we would request a copy of the claim from Aeverex to review for a possible exception to the Drivers Seat Limited Warranty.

On December 21, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime in regard to concerns with the battery of the vehicle.

On December 23, 2015, DriveTime contacted our customer in order to reach an amicable resolution. DriveTime advised our customer to send in receipts for the battery replacement paid out-of-pocket. Once these receipts are received, DriveTime will reimburse our customer for the cost of the battery replacement. As an additional good will gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25.00 credit towards our customer’s payment. Sincerely, DriveTime Customer Relations
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to re-address these concerns.
At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request to release her from the vehicle contract and refund the money put into the loan.
On September 10, 2014, there was an inspector sent out to address the rust concern on the vehicle to see if it was a safety issue.
The inspector found the following:
- All four of the brake calipers and bolts were rusted.
- The front rotors were rusted and the back rotors were rusted to the hub bearing.
- The control arms on the rear suspension were rusted.
- Indicated it looks like there are new brake lines under the vehicle.
The inspector’s opinion for the cause of damage:
- Rusted calipers and rotors
Due to these findings and our customer being in the first 30 days of her loan, [redacted], the vehicle service provider, made an exception to cover the repairs affected by the rust. The repairs included the front rotors, back rotors, and all four brake pads.
On September 16, 2014, the repair facility that completed the work above, called into [redacted] stating the trim on the column was loose. The repair facility tightened it at no cost.
Our customer is stating there was prior water damage to the vehicle, causing the rust issue. We provided our customer with the [redacted] that was clear of any water damage.
In addition, page two (2) of the Buyers Guide document, which our customer signed at the time of purchase provides a list of some major defects that may occur in used motor vehicles, under section "Frame & Body" it states:
"…Frame-cracks, corrective welds, or rusted through."
If any further issues come up with the vehicle, we encourage our customer to contact [redacted] to file a claim.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concernsOn July 1, 2013, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2008 Chevrolet HHR. Our customer opted to purchase a 3 year/36,000 mile DriveCare Plus Protection Package. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract and DriveCare Plus Protection Package for your reference.All DriveTime vehicles are thoroughly inspected prior to sale at our DriveTime inspection centers. Parts that fail inspection are replaced. However, if a part is functioning at the time of inspection, there is no need to replace it. Page one of the Customer Delivery Checklist under Important Reminder, states:"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."On August 2, 2013, Aeverex became the administrator of our customer’s DriveCare Plus Protection Package.On March 10, 2014, a repair facility filed a repair claim with Aeverex. The repair facility reported repairs needed for a battery, HVAC control assembly, and the blend door. Aeverex approved the HVAC control assembly and the diagnostic fee for a total of $386.11.In October of 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.Prior to the time of sale, our customer had a discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcy on her credit report. 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. This update should reflect on our customer’s credit reporting within 30-60 days.On July 31, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime Customer Relations to discuss her concerns. We informed her of the recent update of her credit reporting and encouraged her to take the vehicle to a repair facility to be diagnosed for her mechanical concerns. Once a claim is filed with Aeverex, we can determine if the repairs are covered by the Vehicle Service Contract and review non-covered components for possible assistance.To date, no new repair claim has been filed with Aeverex. Without any new information, DriveTime is unable to accommodate our customer’s request.We have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer to discuss her concerns. On August 10, 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 her.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On April 8, 2013, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when he purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado Pickup. The Simple...
Interest Retail Installment Contract has been attached for your review. DriveTime offers several payment options for our customers’ convenience, including no and low cost options. For example, customers can sign up for recurring ACH (“AutoPay”) at no cost. Our customers are also able to make a payment over the phone, by text, or online with Western Union (“Speedpay”). Both options are processed by a third party vendor who charges a $4.50 convenience fee for every payment made, with the exception of the text-to-pay option. Our customers’ also have the option to make an in-person payment to DriveTime via a third party vendor who charges a convenience fee of $1.50-$2.00, depending on the location of the facility they visit (i.e., WalMart). When our customers opt to make a payment via text, our third party vendor sends our customers a text message to the phone number that was provided to them at the time our customers opted to enroll.
