How do I dispute Volvo Car UK end of lease charges?
Both Volvo Car UK decisions we have read were upheld. Most of a £9,605 bill was withdrawn because the inspection evidence did not support it, and a £1,240 bill came down to £900 after Volvo waived £275 and the ombudsman removed a £65 wheel charge. Ask for the evidence behind every line before you discuss the total.
