Lease company beware
I recently responded to an advert for a lease vehicle, was given the quote which looked great. Small print does state upon signing the quote ( order form ) you are bound by the term of cancellation fees.
Good deal so no reason to want to cancel at this stage. Next step is you get approved for finance, you are in fact approved before even knowing who the finance company are and before seeing the proposal form. Now this is the part where you all need to be extra vigilant, in fact knowing what I know now i would run a mile , dig a trench around me and erect a razor wired electric fence before ever going near Global vans.
The proposal form at quick glance looks okay, but you really do need to go through it letter by letter and number by number, read it several times if you have to, baring in mind here you have already been approved anyway so one would not expect anything untoward. Wrong, you see Global vans never ask for your financial situation, they base their ‘proposal’ form , which I would guess is sent to the finance company before you see it and approved before you sign it on false income, made up fabricated income. Global vans it would appear pluck a number from thin air and add it to your apparent trading business to get you finance. If that isn’t bad enough Global vans then sneakily sell you an unregulated contract. They make no reference to contracts being unregulated and clearly very happy to lie to a finance company to make a sale. Be warned and be vigilant of this company.
