| Description of the problem | I am working with the fca re-purchase program from the consent order dated july 2015, and the fca program is offering dealer trade value as fair market value of the vehicle. Dealer trade has never been used as a fair market value for anything i have ever seen. When an insurance company pays for the value of your car they give you fair market sales price. They do not and can not use the dealer trade in value as fair market value. They are also offering 10% premium based on the re-purchase price. The consent order clearly states that the 10% premium is to be based on purchase price and it further spells out that purchase price is the price the vehicle was sold the first time to someone for other than resale. Basically the price it was first sold from a dealer. I have worked with the fca since october 2nd 2015 and have been told that i have no recourse with them on how they make their offers. I could not get them to give me a written offer unless i accepted their offer. I am now trying again to get a written offer. When i received a call yesterday from trista at the fca my file had been deleted and they would have to enter me in again. She did tell me that her manager and anyone that could make a decision had looked at the disputes and they would not make any changes. She said that if i did not like that decision i would need to contact the nhtsa or whoever else i thought might be able to help. The fca is offering $22k for my truck with the 10% premium. I have included the fair purchase price run from kbb that i submitted to them back on october 3, 2015. My trucks msrp was approximately $53k. I called the nhtsa yesterday and was advised that i needed to make an official complaint. If i have used the wrong compliant section please direct me to the appropriate one. Thanks,..
