Company demands over 8,000 euros for terminating old BMW lease
A client who leased a nearly 20-year-old BMW for 308 euros per month stopped paying after 1.5 months. The lessor repossessed the car and demanded over 8,000 euros for contract termination and damages; the client refused and the case went to court.
According to Apollo.lv, a dispute has arisen between a car leasing company and a client. The client entered into an 18-month lease for a nearly 20-year-old BMW with a monthly payment of 308 euros. After about a month and a half, the client stopped making payments. The lessor responded by repossessing the vehicle.
Subsequently, the company calculated losses, including early termination of the lease and alleged damages, and issued an invoice exceeding 8,000 euros. The client refused to pay, leading the company to take the matter to court.
Apollo.lv seeks to clarify whether the lessor is entitled to demand an amount exceeding the car's value. The article notes such cases are not uncommon and encourages readers to understand consumer rights in such situations.
This case remains unresolved, with the court set to determine whether the company's claim is justified. It serves as a reminder to carefully review contracts before signing.
