Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to provide an update regarding Ms. [redacted]’s complaint.Since Ms. [redacted]’s initial Revdex.com complaint in November, [redacted] has received five additional credit disputes alleging that inaccurate information or fraudulent activity is being reported. [redacted] has responded to each of these allegations. In response to allegations of fraud, [redacted] requests that the complainant submit all necessary information to complete a fraud investigation: a copy of their government issued identification, social security card, and a police report or notarized affidavit of identity theft. As Ms. [redacted] failed to include the necessary documentation with her complaint, she was sent a letter indicating that there is insufficient information to complete a review of her dispute. Additionally, as [redacted] knows the customer as [redacted], she will need to submit any direct dispute under that name and include her account number until she should choose to update her account information with us.Through additional correspondence with Ms. [redacted] has received the requested documents and confirmed that the person who walked into the DriveTime dealership to purchase and finance the vehicle described is the complainant, Ms. [redacted]. In our review of the customer’s account and documents, we have found that:• There are no inconsistencies in our ability to contact or be contacted by the customer using the phone numbers provided by the customer shortly after sale and the address that the customer provided at the time of sale.• Ms. [redacted] has contacted [redacted] from the phone number listed as her own on the complaint and police report since October 2016. During these conversations, Ms. [redacted] has never alleged fraud. These calls all focused on curing the account balance. • When contacting [redacted], Ms. [redacted] has been able to confirm her demographic information and social security number in order for agents to locate her account.• During the time that the vehicle was out for repossession, we were able to locate the vehicle at Ms. [redacted]’s home address, as provided at time of sale and verified during calls.• Information presented by the customer at time of sale – her name, social security number, pay stubs, and address – indicate that she is the same person as presented in the additional documents requested during the fraud investigation.• Allegations of identity theft on the account began after [redacted] allowed the customer to reinstate her account and informed her that there are no additional modifications to the loan are available.• When [redacted] requested copies of the Ms. [redacted]’s driver’s license, social security card, and a copy a signed affidavit of identity theft or police report, we were provided with illegible documents on several occasion. When we finally received legible copies of her driver’s license and social security card, we found that they were issued to [redacted] Rosetta Hughes. We believe that this is Ms. [redacted]’s new married name.A detailed timeline of events is below.On September 21, 2017, Ms. [redacted] contacted [redacted] to request a payment amount and due date modification. We explained to Ms. [redacted] that she does not qualify for any modifications at this point in her loan and she disconnected the line. Since September 13, 2017, her loan was modified to require principal only payments. In other words, her account does not accrue interest. Since September 13, 2107, Ms. [redacted] has not made a payment. Yet, for over two months, she continues to possess and drive her car.On September 25, 2017, Ms. [redacted] began filing credit dispute complaints with the CRAs. As of January 4, 2018, Ms. [redacted] has filed eleven disputes with the CRAs alleging inaccurate information or fraud. [redacted] responded to the credit bureaus to inform them that all information was accurate as reported.On October 24, 2017, [redacted] received an escalated call from Ms. [redacted] who was upset about how the vehicle repossession was reflected on her credit report. We explained, since the account is in charge off status, it will reflect as such until the loan has been paid. Once the account has been paid in full, it will then be updated to a status of paid-charge off and will reflect as such for seven years.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns.On April 24, 2017, our customer visited www.drivetime.com to research available inventory and obtain a pre-approval for financing.On April 25, 2017, our customer visited our...

DriveTime dealership to discuss purchasing a vehicle. Our customer opted to place a layaway hold on a 2012 Chrysler 200.On April 26, 2017, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract when she purchased a 2012 Chrysler 200 from DriveTime. The Contract was subsequently assigned to Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation. The vehicle came with a 30 day/1,500 mile DriveTime Limited Warranty, administered by SilverRock. Our customer also purchased an additional 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract, also administered by SilverRock. Attached are the Contract and Vehicle Service Contract for your reference.During purchase, our customer had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle and complete the Vehicle Delivery Checklist, attached for your reference. Our customer signed specifically acknowledging scratches on the bumper. Under Important Reminders, it states:“You are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. Any pre-owned vehicle may have minor cosmetic issues…Please ensure you are comfortable with the condition of the vehicle prior to purchasing.”On May 17, 2017, our customer contacted SilverRock to advise the bumper was loose due to a broken clip. SilverRock provided the contact information to an in-network repair facility (INRF). They advised they would need a claim filed with accurate pricing and images of the damage. There is no claim filed regarding these concerns.On June 7, 2017, our customer contacted SilverRock to advise the vehicle was jerking in reverse and not shifting properly. SilverRock encouraged our customer to take the vehicle to an INRF to be diagnosed. They advised the warranty terms and additionally that a repair facility needed to call in and initiate a claim for any needed repairs. SilverRock provided our customer the contact and location information for an INRF.

For full response, please see attached.  On September 28, 2017, we contacted our customer to further discuss her concerns. She explained she is still experiencing a noise concern and we encouraged her to return the vehicle to the in-network repair facility and allow them the opportunity to...

warranty the work which has been completed. Additionally, we explained should any further repairs be needed, we would be willing to review all options of assistance once a current claim is initiated. Our customer confirmed she would be returning to the repair facility on September 29, 2017. We will continue to remain in contact with her to ensure an amicable resolution is reached.

An in-network repair facility is America Service Excellence (ASE) certified, meets insurance requirements, has pre-negotiated pricing, and have submitted all...

necessary paperwork to receive payment for services rendered with DriveTime. We recommend utilizing an in-network repair facility for repairs as it generally simplifies the process for our customer, may help expedite completion of repairs, and could provide better pricing for DriveTime customers in comparison to an out-of-network facility. Additionally, diagnostic and deductible fees may be higher at an out-of-network repair facility. If there are no in-network repair facilities within a reasonable distance of our customer, we are able to explore the option of taking the vehicle to an out-of-network repair facility at no added cost to our customer.As a customer service gesture, DriveTime is willing to waive the diagnostic fee at an in- network repair facility. Once completed, we will review options of possible assistance. On April 5, 2017, DriveTime and our customer had a conversation during which our customer agreed to have the vehicle diagnosed at an in-network repair facility. Should the in-network repair facility deem they are unable to provide assistance with the needed repairs or diagnosis, DriveTime agreed to review options of having the vehicle diagnosed at an out- of-network repair facility.DriveTime has not been able to reach our customer, since receiving his recent response, to further discuss his concerns. We understand he is unable to take the vehicle in at this time but we are more than willing to review options of assistance once our customer is able to have an updated diagnostic done.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Relations department at (800) 965- 8043.Thank you, Danielle C.

Dear Ms. Hill, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to re- address our customer’s concerns.   The actions described in our customer’s correspondence regarding our dealership and SilverRock staff is not in keeping with DriveTime’s set standards of service and support. We will be reviewing all interactions with our customer to address this matter internally.   On March 10, 2017, DriveTime contacted our customer and apologized for the experience she has had thus far. We explained, DriveTime offered her family transportation assistance while all needed repairs were completed on her husband’s vehicle under the terms of the Vehicle Service Contract.   Additionally, DriveTime offered to extend the Vehicle Return Period for her husband to ensure they are satisfied with their purchase. Our customer also expressed concerns relating to the pricing on the vehicle she purchased. She requested we change the price of the vehicle to match the price of the vehicle she had originally made a vehicle reservation for. We advised we would be unable to honor this request as pricing varies by vehicle selected and she agreed to the financing terms on the Contract. Our customer understood and the call was ended.   Inspection records are proprietary information retained by DriveTime. At the time of sale and after a test drive, we allow our customer to inspect the vehicle and have our customer acknowledge a “Customer Delivery Checklist”. Attached you will find the Customer Delivery Checklist for your review.

On January 18, 2016, at 21 days past due, DriveTime exercised their contractual right to secure the vehicle and assigned the vehicle to be recovered due to non-payment. Later that day, the vehicle was recovered. Our customer contacted DriveTime and was informed that her delinquency balance of...

$329.11, recovery fees of $300.00, and a recovery agent fee of $125.00 would need to be paid in order to reinstate her lease. That same day, a payment of $629.11 was made toward our customer’s account, bringing it current. DriveTime authorized the release of the vehicle, and a side note was created for the $300.00 recovery fee. However, the funds were not immediately applied to this side note. On January 25, 2016, our customer’s regular periodic payment of $193.07 came due. That same day, she made an online payment of $81.51. As our customer’s recovery fee payment had not yet been manually applied to the side note, her payment of $81.51 was distributed to the $300.00 recovery fee balance, leaving our customer with a remaining side note balance of $218.49. On January 28, 2016, DriveTime manually reallocated the $629.11 our customer paid to reinstate her lease. $218.49 was applied toward the remaining recovery fee balance, and $410.62 was applied toward our customer’s payments. This paid off our customer’s side note and left her with a remaining past due balance of $111.96. We recognize this process has caused our customer legitimate confusion. Given that, DriveTime has applied a goodwill credit of $139.81 toward her payments, bringing her account current.

Page one of the included Vehicle 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 leasing."

On page 3 of the Contract, subtitled "Early Lease Termination" it states: "You may terminate (end) this Lese early. To do so, you must return the Vehicle to us and pay us the amount due at early end…" In addition, under "Amount Due at Early End" it states: "You will owe us the sum of the following amounts upon early end of the Lease: (a) Any excess mileage charge… (d) Any unpaid periodic payments then due… (f) Any other amounts you owe other than future periodic payments under this Lease including any unpaid late charges or other amounts due …" At the time of lease, our customer signed and reviewed the Return Anytime Lease Agreement.

3, 2015, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2008 Subaru Forester. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.   DriveTime offers our customers a payment option called Text to Pay. Text to Pay sends our customers a text message reminding them of their scheduled payments. Our customers have the option to initiate a payment withdrawal from a previously determined payment method via the Text to Pay message. Our Text to Pay messaging system is initiated by a scheduled payment and will not send a text message if a payment has already been received.   On October 16, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime advising that she had not received a Text to Pay reminder for her normally scheduled amount. Our customer’s account only required a partial payment due to a credit that had been applied. DriveTime advised our customer the Text to Pay system could only initiate payment in the scheduled amount and advised the customer she would have to complete her payment using another method. After expressing her concerns of the fees associated with the other methods of payment, DriveTime agreed to make a one-time exception to waive the Western Union processing fee of $4.50 to complete the transaction over the phone. In order for DriveTime to waive the fee, we had to process the payment for the total amount owed of $25.32. Western Union then collected the normal fee of $4.50 to process the payment. Only after the payment over the phone was completed was DriveTime able to submit a credit to the customer’s account for the $4.50 fee that was charged by Western Union.   On October 19, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime, as her account credit had not yet posted for the $4.50. DriveTime advised our customer the credit may take a few business days to process however, her account was in good standing and would show paid in full once the credit posted. Our customer expressed concerns about her payment being reported as late. DriveTime advised our customer her payment was not late and we would not report it as late.   On October 20, 2015, our customer’s credit of $4.50 applied to her account, bringing the account current.   At this time, we have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer to discuss her concerns. On October 23, 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. We encourage our customer to contact our Customer Relations Department at 800-965-8043, to discuss her concerns.   We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has applied a $25.00 credit to our customer principal balance.   DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

Re: Complaint # [redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted], Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. The actions described in our customer's correspondence are clearly not in keeping with DriveTime's set...

standards of service and support.  DriveTime strives to make each customer’s experience both rewarding and pleasant while ensuring that every customer is treated with the utmost respect.On April 2, 2014, our customer entered into a Motor Vehicle Periodic Renewal Lease with DriveTime when she leased a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Included you will find the Motor Vehicle Periodic Renewal Lease for your reference.  At time of lease, our customer agreed to make 64 bi-weekly payments of $234.30 beginning April 14, 2014. Our customer elected to take advantage of the Auto Pay service, allowing her payments to be withdrawn automatically from her bank account. With the Auto Pay service, our customer’s accounts receive a $12 credit for each reoccurring payment made in this manner. Our customer’s normal payment is $234.30, however with the $12 credit, the total amount due is $222.30.On May 12, 2014, our customers payments increased to an amount of $235.39 due bi-weekly. The reason for this increase was a tax adjustment charged by the county in which she resides. Our customer bi-weekly payment increased by $1.09 while the Auto Pay deduction remained constant. On page 3, under section “Registration, Parking Tickets and Taxes” in the Motor Vehicle Periodic Renewal Lease it states:“You must pay when due or reimburse us if we pay for all government charges, fees and taxes (other than our income taxes) whether assessed on you, us, or the Vehicle… You must pay personal property taxes, or similar taxes assessed on the vehicle, whether you are billed for them by the government or whether we pay them and bill you for them or include the amount of such taxes as part of your periodic payment.”Since our customer’s bi-weekly payment increased by $1.09 per bi-weekly installment and the amount deducted from the Auto Pay service remained constant, our customer’s account became delinquent. We have attached a copy of our customer’s payment ledger for your reference. DriveTime has attempted to contact our customer multiple times in order to reach an amicable resolution. We encourage our customer to contact our Customer Relations Department at ###-###-####.  As goodwill gesture, we have credited our customer’s account $25.79 to waive the current delinquency balance of the account. DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.
