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. DriveTime’s approval process is subject to several factors: down payment, income level, proof of residence, etc. We encourage all our customers to thoroughly review all contract paperwork before signing the contract. On January 16, 2015, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2009 Mazda 6. Our customer opted to purchase a 5 year/50,000 mile Vehicle Service Contract, administered by [redacted]. At the time of sale, she signed an Optional Products Disclosure stating she understood the Vehicle Service Contract was optional at an additional price. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract, Vehicle Service Contract, and Optional Products Disclosure for your reference. On page one of the Customer Delivery Checklist under Important Reminder, it is stated:“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.”At the time of sale, our customer signed and dated the Customer Delivery Checklist. Attached you will find this document for your review. On March 4, 2015, our customer contacted [redacted] regarding a no-start issue with the vehicle. [redacted] referred our customer to an in-network repair facility to have the vehicle diagnosed. On March 7, 2015, an in-network repair facility filed a claim with [redacted] for an engine replacement. All repairs and diagnostic fees were approved in full under the terms of the Vehicle Service Contract (VSC). Our customer was responsible for a $100 deductible, since she was outside the initial 30 day and 1,500 mile limited warranty. On April 7, 2015, our customer contacted [redacted] with concerns about transmission issues and the vehicle jerking while in operation. [redacted] referred our customer to an in-network repair facility to have the vehicle diagnosed, and as a goodwill gesture, they agreed to waive the deductible if the repairs were covered under the VSC. To date, no further claims have been filed with [redacted]. On April 21, 2015, we contacted the authorized third party on our customer’s account and addressed his concerns. We are currently working towards an amicable resolution. The authorized third party has agreed to take the vehicle to a repair facility for further diagnosis.

Aeverex referred our customer to an in-network repair facility to have the vehicle diagnosed. On June 22, 2015, our customer contacted DriveTime stating that she had concerns with the transmission and brakes on her vehicle. We advised to have the vehicle taken to an in-network repair facility to have adiagnostic performed. Once a claim in on file, DriveTime would be able to review for possible assistance. On June 29, 2015, our customer contacted Aeverex stating that the in-network repair facility she took the vehicle was unable to diagnose the vehicle. Aeverex provided our customer another in-network repair facility that would be able to diagnose the vehicle in her area. On July 11, 2015, our customer contacted Aeverex stating that she was experiencing concerns with the brakes of the vehicle. Aeverex advised her that this is a non-covered component under the Limited Vehicle ServiceContract. Our customer was informed that they would need approval for exception from DriveTime to cover these repairs once a claim was updated. On July 14, 2015, DriveTime received an updated estimate from Aeverex with our customer’s brake concerns. The repair facility advised that the brake pads and rotors need to be replaced to address the noise concern. At this time, DriveTime will not be making an exception to cover these repairs since these items are considered maintenance items and our customer has driven the vehicle 9,910 miles since purchase. As a good will gesture, DriveTime has applied a $50.00 credit to our customer’s principal balance for the diagnostic cost of the above claim.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

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 read drivetimes response and I must disagree. They failed to mention that I did call to get their team at the dealership where I purchased the car the location of the car at the time it clonked out on me and I assumed the guy on the phone wrote it down and followed up on 7/8/14 when I made that call. It would have cost me 160$ for a tow truck, 100$ for the mechanic to look at it and diagnosed the problem which at that point I was already out of 75$ replacing coolant, 100$ changing two tires, and between that making car payments. sorry but reembursing me 75$ out of 260$ it would cost me to move and diagnose the car was not good business. they should say Mr. [redacted] we are sorry failed to provide you with a bad car. We at drive will give you your down payment in full for having to go through what you went through in 3 months of buying that car. I almost lost my life that day that car clonked out on the highway and I was lucky to be alive to write this complaint. my life is worth a lot more to me than 1000$ but its a good start to rectify the wrong that this company did to me and apparently so many others. My partner called the mechanic they wanted me to send my car to and the mechanic said that he gets 2 alternators a week from drivetime customers. sorry but that doesnt sound like good business.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concerns. On April 17, 2015, we contacted our customer and advised her that if she brought her account only one payment ($433.54) past due, we would make an exception to approve her non-covered thermostat, coolant, ignition coil, and tire pressure sensor repairs ($657.95). Due to the amount of time our customer had been in the loan (one year and four months) and the number of miles the vehicle had been operated since the time of purchase (16,640), and because DriveTime does not typically assist with physical damage, our customer remained responsible for the non-covered door panel and seat panel repairs ($598.33). We advised our customer that if she were to pay this amount out-of-pocket and provide us with paid receipts, we would defer her final past due payment to the end of her loan as an option for further assistance. The same day, we educated our customer on the process for cancelling the Vehicle Service Contract (VSC). As DriveTime is unable to process this cancellation, our customer was instructed to contact Aeverex and was informed that they would assist her with cancelling the VSC. This is the process for cancelling the GAP Coverage, as well. At the time that we sold the SkyLink GPS service to our customer, it was not a refundable product.  The pro-rated refund for the VSC optional product was applied to the principal balance of our customer’s DriveTime account on May 21, 2015. An additional refund for the VSC was applied to the principal balance of her account on June 19, 2015. On May 4, 2015, we contacted our customer regarding the above repair contract. Our customer made a payment of $532.08, bringing her account only one payment past due, and per the above agreement, DriveTime made the exception to approve the thermostat, coolant, ignition coil, and tire pressure sensor repairs through Aeverex. We advised our customer to send us the paid receipts for the additional non-covered repairs for which she was still responsible. Upon receiving these receipts, we advised we would defer one payment to the end of our customer’s loan, provided her account was only one payment past due at the time. When our customer’s account balance was not brought current, loan advisors made regular attempts to contact her and cure account delinquency. While our customer spoke with loan advisors on several occasions, no payment arrangements were ever made on her account. On June 26, 2015, at 82 days past due, DriveTime exercised their contractual right to secure the vehicle and assigned the vehicle to be recovered. Please refer to the section in the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract labeled “Default”: “You will be in default if any one of the following occurs…You fail to make any payment due under this Contract, including any down payment, in full when such payment is due….If you are in default…we may take back (repossess) the Vehicle.”That same day, the vehicle was recovered. The remaining GAP Coverage will be refunded to our customer’s account and will reduce her principal balance.   At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request for DriveTime to reimburse her for her hardship. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused.DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. On January 31, 2015, our customer entered into a Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Contract when he leased a 2005 Kia Sedona. Included you will find the Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease...

Contract for your reference. At the time of lease, our customer agreed to make 64 bi-weekly payments of $206.55, beginning February 20, 2015. Additionally, our customer agreed to make four side note bi-weekly payments of $100, beginning February 20, 2015. On March 18, 2015, a payment amount of $100 was reversed due to insufficient funds. On March 26, 2015, we informed our customer of the reversed payment of $100 on his account and stated that there is a zero day grace period with our lease accounts. Our customer informed us he would make the $100 payment on March 27, 2015. On April 1, 2015, the vehicle was recovered for default. Please refer to page 3 of the Cancel Anytime Lease, section 11 Default, Repossession, and Other Remedies. "You fail to pay any periodic payment when due or any other amount you owe under this Lease when we ask you for it… Take (repossess) the Vehicle wherever we find it and enter any property where the Vehicle may be to do so…" Later that day, our customer faxed in running bank statements as he states there was $100 available in his bank account. We informed our customer the insufficient funds reversal was correct and he would need to speak with his financial institution if there is further disputes. We informed our customer he will need to pay the past due amount of $100.55 and the repossession fee of $300 directly to DriveTime within 48 hours if he would like to redeem his vehicle. We also informed our customer an additional amount of $125 would be owed directly to the repossession agent. We have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact our customer to discuss his concerns. On April 14, 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 our Customer Relations department at ###-###-####, to discuss his concerns. At this time, we are unable to accommodate our customer’s request. DriveTime would be willing to waive the past due amount of $100.55 if our customer pays the repossession fee of $300 and the additional payment that has come due of $307.10. Our customer has until Monday, April 20, 2015 to redeem his vehicle. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has sent our customer a $25 American Express gift card. DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by calling us at ###-###-####. Sincerely, DriveTime Customer Relations

2017, at 122 days past due with no payment received since February 3, 2017, Bridgecrest exercised its contractual right to set the vehicle for recovery. The vehicle was reported as recovered on April 27, 2017.  At this time, we have determined we are accurately reporting our customer’s trade line to the credit bureaus and are unable to honor our customer’s request to have it deleted. On October 18, 2017, we were able to contact our customer to discuss the aforementioned events. However, our customer disputed this information and immediately ended the call before any resolution could be achieved.

28, 2015, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when she purchased a 2005 Lexus ES 330. Attached you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract for your reference.   At the time of purchase, our customer agreed to provide a down payment of $1000, in which she provided a personal check. At the time of sale, we informed our customer in the event that a customer’s personal check is returned due to insufficient funds, it is DriveTime’s policy to terminate the contract immediately and recover the vehicle.   On September 17, 2015, DriveTime received notification that the personal check provided by our customer for her initial down payment was returned due to insufficient funds. Between September 17 and September 24, DriveTime attempted to contact our customer and advise her of the status of her account.   On September 28, 2015, our customer’s first payment due on the loan returned due to insufficient funds. DriveTime continued efforts to contact our customer to inform her of the status of the account. We were unable to reach our customer at the contact numbers she provided just thirty days previously at the time of sale.  It has been our experience that NSF’s on down payments and first payments are indications not only of potential credit issues but potential fraud.     On October 5, 2015, DriveTime exercised our contractual right to place the customer’s vehicle out for recovery due to the status of her account. Please refer to page 3 of the Simple interest Retail Installment Contract under the section Default:   “You will be in default if any one of the following occurs (except as may be prohibited by law); 1. You fail to make any payment due under this Contract, including  any down payment, in full when such payment is due.;”   On the same day, DriveTime contacted our customer and advised her the vehicle would be recovered due to the personal check being returned as insufficient funds for her initial down payment. Our customer advised she wished to make payment arrangement on the account; however, DriveTime informed our customer that payment arrangements were not an option at this time. During our conversation with our customer, the call was disconnected.   On October 21, 2015, approximately two weeks later, we contacted our customer to address her concerns. We advised our customer that DriveTime would not be providing payment arrangements. We advised her, as previously stated, it is DriveTime’s policy to recover our customer’s vehicle in the event that a personal check is returned for an initial down payment. We also advised our customer DriveTime would not be reporting her repossession to any of the three major credit bureaus, as we would be deleting her trade lines, and she was not responsible for any deficiency under her contract or other obligations to DriveTime. We advised her she was welcome to reapply with DriveTime after a six-month period. During our conversation with our customer, the call was disconnected.   We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this matter may have caused. At this time, DriveTime is unable to accommodate our customer’s request. Our customer did not provide a trade in and both her down payment and first payment were NSF.  Our customer never paid any funds to us in connection with the purchase and financing of her vehicle.  Our customer will be able to reapply to finance a vehicle with DriveTime in a six-month period. As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has mailed a $25.00 [redacted] gift card to our customer’s address on file.   DriveTime thanks the Revdex.com for their ongoing support.

our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract with DriveTime when he purchased a 2014 Dodge Avenger. Attached you will find a copy of the Contract for your review. The Contract was subsequently assigned to DT Acceptance Corporation, now known as Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation. During the contracting process on May 12, 2016, DriveTime required a proof of income from our customer to ensure income was sufficient to maintain loan payments. Our customer provided us with a Proof of Income letter from his employer showing a hire date of April 20, 2016. Under the terms of the Retail Installment Contract, we notify the customer that we may perform after sale verification of the information provided to us by the customer. On June 22, 2016, DriveTime contacted our customer’s employer as part of the verification process. The employer stated that our customer is not employed with them and has never been employed with their company. Additionally, they informed us that the manager who signed our customer’s Proof of Income letter is no longer employed with them. On or around June 23, 2016, DriveTime spoke with our customer to inform him of the after sale verification concerns. DriveTime instructed our customer to provide Proof of Income from the employer, such as a paycheck stub. DriveTime made clear to our customer that if he was unable to provide this documentation, then we would need the vehicle returned to the dealership. Our customer stated that he would not provide any additional documentation and also would not return the vehicle. On July 21, 2016, DriveTime recovered the vehicle. FULL RESPONSE ATTACHED

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 am not accepting the the initial business response because there was a verbal statement in there too. As I said before I worked with 4 seperate people. On 2 different occassions. They didnt waste any time on cashing a check before I even received a car. I put a lot of money down for them to just take it in less than 30 days with no warning. Its a scam. They didnt even give me a chance to pay my payment, which I thought was my first payment. I still had 30 day tags on my car. If they have tried to contact me then they should leave a message. The only message I have received from them was to come get my title. THE MONDAY BEFORE THEY TOOK MY CAR!!!! Also, they tried to change my insurance policy without my permission?? Seriously? What kind of shady stuff is that?? They take people that are in hard times that are struggling and sucker them, then screw them over. I have contacted them again! And requesting my belongings back. They said the leasing department was closed that day. Thats just strange to me. They probably took my car, cleaned it out, took my blelongings sold them or whatever and sold my car to another person. I had some very important stuff in there. All they would tell me is that my car was in Cincinnati. Kind of hard to get your belongings when your car is 45 minutes away with no car,  but Drive Time is 5 minutes away. This is a dirty business. I cant even believe I bought into it. I am a single mother struggling to get ahead and this happens. SHAME ON THEM. NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL!! I WAS GOING TO PAY MY PAYMENT THAT FRIDAY. BUT NOT WHEN YOU TELL ME I NEED $1000 TO GET IT BACK!! I just gave them $1000. and if they said I was behind then it would have been around $500 not $700. Businesses like this are why people can never get ahead!! DISGUSTING!!Regards,[redacted]

Drivetime are LIARS.     I reported brake and transmission problems from the time I test drove the vehicle.     Upon selling it to me they told me that it PASSED all inspections.     It's not my FAULT for their NEGLIGENCE and selling lemons.     Further action has been taken.
