The single worst leasing company I have…
The single worst leasing company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, and unfortunately, I'm stuck with them until the end of my contract.
Since they bought out Drive Electric, where my original lease was taken out, everything has gone downhill. Poor communication, worse customer service, defensive and passive-aggressive communication to escalated complaints... the list goes on!
Whilst going through an insurance claim, they bottlenecked the process by waiting over a month to provide vehicle value figures, and kept blaming the insurers (who were excellent communicators and transparent the whole time). When I escalated this, I was told it was not unreasonable to take 30 days to provide figures or not to keep a customer updated on progress.
Recently, I tried to book a service in advance. Knowing my busy schedule, I gave plenty of notice and had it planned... they decided it needed doing sooner for some reason, so it got far too complicated. They ended up booking a service without giving me any dates or information, and then a mobile agent just turned up out of the blue, expecting to service the car.
Replacement vehicle orders? A complex bureaucratic nightmare akin to buying and completing on a house purchase, with similar protracted and constantly moving dates to when you get the keys!
I have dealt with a number of lease companies over the years, but this one has assured me that purchasing my next vehcile myself is teh best way forward.
