Handback Check

How do I dispute Leasys end of lease charges?

A Leasys bill lists every panel separately, and in one decision the ombudsman went through 23 lines one at a time. Check each line against its photograph, and check your service record: Leasys charged £200 for each of three missed services. The one charge removed was a £65 wheel line the photo did not show.

How Leasys handles returns

Leasys assesses returned vehicles against the BVRLA standard. Because each panel, wheel and item is its own line, a single return can carry twenty or more charges.
