Arval lease car charges
Options
Monday I was handed back my lease car with arval. An assessor arrived as planned.My wife was present at the time of inspection of the car,she was then asked to go back in the house while he carried out the inspection when she was asked to go back in the house while he carried out the inspection.
The car is on a 65 plate Nissan pulsar. Today I received a bill for £2300 for damages to the car all body work.
Could anyone give me some advice on how I should approach the lease company. The car has general wear the odd scratch hear and there

You can polish a turd with enough effort.
You cannot upload pictures here, use tinypic or imgbb or many other image hosts. Any that are NOT photobucket.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

It's a 3yo car - it should be pretty damn immaculate if you've taken even moderate care of it. Two grand of damage is not "general wear".The car is on a 65 plate Nissan pulsar. Today I received a bill for £2300 for damages to the car all body work.

Fair wear and tear is an industry-standard definition, set by the industry body, the BVRLA, and you agreed to abide by it when you took the car.

please tellme you took lots of pictures of the car inside and out and also close up ones aswell so you have proof that the car was in good nick on the day it was returned
some not all do try it on in the hopes that you will you pay the cheeky barstools“People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

she declined that she agreed with the charges.She then went on to sign another form to say that she was not happy with the findings.0

rat race yes mate a lot of photos where taken of the vehicle. Obviously there is wear and tear to the vehicle the assessor was a little harsh on us.0

That's a long list of panels... Frankly, there's not much you missed... The charge for each panel is not ridiculous, though. The standard for what is chargeable is in the BVRLA wear and tear guide - and that's what you agreed to abide by. They've sent you photos through. Do those photos show damage that fits the BVRLA guide?0
