Got an offer email

[Tenebrae]

One of the people put a future date for the completion, and another posted today as completion.
Hoping to hear back from them about the process indeed.

Those of you who uploaded your paperwork that has been notarized are you doing anything to make it easier to read ?
Some one suggested shading it with a pencil or is it easy enough to read ?

The Notary herself shaded the raised seal with a pencil when I explained to her that I needed to scan it into a pdf and upload it. The seal is readable in the pdf.

If the notary has the option of an ink seal, have them use that instead. Don't understand why people still use the raised seals (and especially, why they use them exclusively).

I just received the email that my offer has been accepted. I can schedule an appointment for a buyback. Here's the LOL: been waiting for this day for a long time (like many of you)....now am having surgery tomorrow that can't wait. IRONY. But also perspective. It's just a car. My health and well being are in a whole different league. Peace, all. Good luck to you wherever your new cars take you.

My sense is that once you get to this point, it moves relatively quickly.

 

[Dr. D]

Probably because it's back in VW's house. This verification process is being done by an outside company, with what appears little oversight from vw.

 

[galoot]

I submitted all doc on Sept 17th. Been in the accepted faze forever. Wonder when I'll see something

I had my first one rejected... The notary ink smudged the raised seal but it wasn't legible enough to suit them. Had to reprint and get notarized again... Went to my local dealer and their notary had an ink seal. Re uploaded... Hope it is accepted soon...

Anyone financed outside vw received an offer yet?

 

[McDaniken]

Sent my offer sheet back Sunday. Got acceptance today. Said next step is to set up appt to turn the car in. Looks like the turn around will be quick once you get to this point.

 

[McDaniken]

Also, my notary used an ink stamp and the embossed stamp. Don't know if the embossed would have worked by itself or not.

Notary issue / question

Has anyone noticed that the page to be notarized does note have the date for the Notary Expiration? Most, if not all documents, ask or have a place for the date the Notary's commission expires.

Maybe VW and/or the Third Party didn't realize this?? Anyone having their documents rejected because of this?

 

[DanB36]

Most, if not all documents, ask or have a place for the date the Notary's commission expires.

True, and it's always struck me as pointless and redundant, because the notary's seal pretty much always includes that information.

 

[BuyMeBackSoon]

Original notary embossed seals didn't have the expiration date so that info is just a carryover from the old days. Would have been too expensive to require notary to get a new embossing plate every expiation term. I must be old if I remember useless trivia.

 

[DanB36]

Ah, yes, that would make sense--embossing seals are a fair bit more expensive than rubber stamps. The only place I've seen embossing notary seals used is with the military, and those notary commissions don't expire anyway. Most acknowledgements that I've seen recently don't have a line for that, though. The official California acknowledgement doesn't either.

Just got offer email minutes ago. Heading to my bank with the Mrs at 4pm to sign before a notary.

Whewwwww. One more milestone closer to payday...

What's the official date on your letter?

 

[golfless]

Good question...11/3/16. Either there was a systems issue like others commented on this forum or they processed a batch of letters on the same day and are working through the widgets to get them out.

Same as mine.

So about 2 weeks ago I was told by one rep that my docs were accepted, what my offer was, and to expect a letter in the mail with a final offer. I called the hotline with a separate question and was told I wouldn't be getting an letter, but should expect an email within 10 business days of acceptance. Is there a set pattern for the final offer or should I be on the lookout for both? Also, is the general concerns us to scan everything or just the 2 signed pages

Congrats to all who got their offer, and hope for those who haven't to hear real soon. The uncertainty is a little annoying

 

[DanB36]

General consensus seems to be to scan everything. If you've checked the box in the claims portal for email communication, expect the email. I don't recall seeing anyone say they've gotten a letter via snail mail.

I'll double check and see what I put. Is it an invite to log into portal, meaning that periodically logging in to claims site will show you the same thing as the email?

I submitted my paperwork (notarized, etc.) last week and this morning received instructions to turn my car in. I had to provide today's odometer reading so that they will calculate what the mileage should be on my turn-in date. They said the offer could be recalculated and buy-back delayed if the mileage exceeded that. My appointment is Friday, Dec. 2, which was the first date available to me.

Docs uploaded 10/12
Docs accepted 10/25 (same day as settlement signed off)
Offer received 11/11

I did some analysis of the spreadsheet yesterday. It was limited in scope to my situation with a non-financed car.

• For those who were marked as paid off and had documents accepted prior to 10/25, almost 2/3rds had been accepted as of yesterday.
• For those who were marked as paid off and had documents accepted after 10/25, there were only a trickle accepted as of yesterday.

My conclusion was that they are, in general and for those who are paid off, processing in order of document acceptance. I'd say that my offer letter provides some additional evidence that this is the case.


FWIW, if you want to give VW credit for the 5 business days of startup after the settlement agreement, my offer is -barely- within the 10 business day limit.


Tasks for today.....

1. update spreadsheet
2. accept and notarize offer
3. scan all 7 pages and get that into a single pdf
4. upload
5. return to "wait" mode

November looks iffy for a return, but I think December should be possible.
