Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: DriveTime (MD)

On XX/XX/XXXX I toched base with XXXX from DriveTime to discuss what considerations goes into determining my final interest rate on my new vehicle loan after having my other trade deadline deleted because of the issues I was having with my prior vehicle. After explaining what had happened it was brought to my attention that my credit score went down in the span of 6 plus months which is not unheard of and can take some responsibility for that of course but as a company trying to take care of its paying customer is where they are lacking severely. I'm being punished because of my lack of knowledge of lending so if you are looking at it from my prospective because of my lack of knowledge of how lending works and their unwillingness to help me get out of my vehicle at the time I had to try other avenues to try to get out of set vehicle with out hurting my credit which is my whole goal in the first place and after they offered me to buy my earlier vehicle back steps I had taken before actually hurt me. SO from my point of view they bought a vehicle back that should have never been sold to anyone in the general public and made out yet again because of mistakes I had taken not knowing any better they are now making over {$500.00} over the life of the loan when I had actually financed {$100.00} less then my prior vehicle. In the past 6 months to a year I have accomplished nothing but heartache and credit going down because of the miscommunication between both me and XXXX/DriveTime. How is any of this far. I have on record them stating the reimbursement check they sent to me promised to be to me at a certain time wasn't to deliberately make me slip up and make a late payment which I haven't. The lack of help I have been given this far is amazing they are still able to do business but like other responses on record they are covered by letter of the law or so it seems. I know the CFPB cant act as a governing body but should be able to set something right. I plead with You I have done everything correctly and can admit my faults in my case. I haven't done anything to cause harm or ill will towards XXXX/DriveTime but seems like I have too because the system is broken. Alot of consumers are unaware of the CFPB and am surprised I am still having to summit complaints about company that has been fined by you in the past for doing the same questionable business decisions. What am I to do? I have 145 bi weekly payments to make to them make it living XXXX like it has been for me this past 6 plus months. I would stopped filing complaints if they just did one thing they had promised me they would do which at this point they have failed horribly. For Example :  When I was offered reimbursement check and was lied to about its actual arrival time. Do you now how it feels to be a grown adult and being assumed and treated like Im less than nothing? Can you put price on that? An eye for an eye!!! Treat me like kid I'll act like one.
