Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. This was the first time that it was stated that the maturity date or length of the loan would also change. Previous phone conversations with DT Representatives had led me to understand that there would be no change to the loan, in length or amount. I do appreciate your looking into this. As soon as I am able to get the settlement with the insurance carrier liable for the accident, the payment(s) will be forwarded to DT. Unfortunately for me, this was the "easy" part of the whole process - clarifying the monies due to DT. Thank you again for your time.Regards,*** ***

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
As per my original complaint made regarding DriveTime was to assure me that there will be no derogatory reporting towards any credit report & that the loan is reflected paid with satisfactory ratings with all major credit reporting agenciesThis request was to be confirmed in a letter from DriveTime reflecting completion, which I have not yet received. I have concerns that this issue would not be completed due to reviews I have read online from customers with credit reporting issuesI do not want to have this matter outstanding for future complications.Since DriveTime was kind of enough to provide their statement of events regarding the loan status and this information would be on file I would like to comment that the statement is not accurateThe following is additional and/or corrected information.March 3, 2015, I was informed that I would no longer be required to make payments toward the loan since my auto insurance submitted the settlement check & Gap Insurance would cover the remaining balance.On a letter dated April 7, from the Gap Administrator information was received stating that the Gap Benefits will not be applied toward the loan because of the vehicle service contract refund. DriveTime was cc with the letter from the Gap Administrator.May 7, 2015, I contacted DriveTime Customer Service concerned about the status of the loan & received no answer why other than a run around. I called the Gap Administrator who provided me with the necessary information which I provided to the DriveTime Customer Service. DriveTime was to look into the matter & take care of the loan.May 26, after a disturbing conversation with DriveTime Customer Service I made the first contact with Customer Relations. Customer Relations verified the information & stated that there will be a refund which would be overnighted via *** with receipt by May 28th.May 28, called DriveTime Customer Relations & left message. They were to call back that day with a status update.May 29, received call back from DriveTime Customer Relations verifying that the refund would be overnighted & received no later than June 2nd. Check was received on June 3rd via ** *** ***June 10, DriveTime made contact requesting my authorization for correcting credit reporting. Authorization was provided June 11thSeriously all I want is to have this matter finalized in order that I can consider it completed.I do want to thank the Revdex.com for being an ongoing support and for protecting the consumers' rights

While I thank you for you response, I find it unacceptableI received a call however there were no solutions provided for my current situation and I also stated that on the phone with the representative that I spoke withYour response is just a mere reiteration of what I had written beforeI don't need you to confirm that the car cannot be refinanced from you as I am well aware of thatSecondly your champ program is not beneficial to me as I have according to you guys to pay off the vehicle so hi would have to pay another for a unreliable defective vehicleThirdly, as I stated in my previous correspondence in my previous correspondence NO ONE will refinance the vehicle because it's been upside down from the very day that is was presented to meIn order for this vehicle to be refinanced it would have to be under miles. so once again I am pleading for a real resolution to my problem and not a run around as I fell like I am getting from youIt seems as you are saying to well whatever just deal with it and that is unacceptableIs this how you treat your customersYou are telling me there is no recourse? Once again I am seeking a real response as to how you can assistYou either take back the vehicle with no affect to my credit or you provide a next vehicle that is better or provide a lower interest rate

They are failing to report that this was pointed out before buying car & was agreed to be fixedI then went ahead with purchase & followed up days after purchase where I was told it just had to be signed off on by upper managementI had not driven the car over the mileage or owned to long on second dayI was told by salesman & underwriting at location that since it was pointed out prior to sale even though it was cosmetic they would take care of itIf they did not agree then why bother discussing & sending me to shop???? They are being dishonestThen as a gesture the 25.00??? I have yet to see this & why do that if your not guiltyI am sure the grill was impacted by something to damage that is why I pointed it out to them prior to sale
