End of contract charges for a lease car

Had my lease car from PSA collected on 19th July by Manheim. Inspector looked over the car and got me to sign off on a £48 charge for a scrape on the rear bumper (more than fair, I was expecting it to be more). It does say on the paperwork that the car will undergo a second inspection and there could be more charges.

Has anyone undergone this process? What was your experience? I really thought I'd have received an invoice by now, I just want the whole process over with now rather than waiting about to see what the final bill will be!

    A quick google indicates the bvrla guidance was updated last year to state that all charges need to be advised no later than four weeks after collection.

    If I were you I'd contact them after the 4 weeks, saying you just want the matter closed and confirming the charges you've been advised of and offer to pay them immediately.

  • Thank you bigadaj! I couldn't find anything online!
