We had a lease vehicle -m Peugeot Boxer Van - which we paid maintenance on. It had come to the end of its contract but we asked to continue for a further 6-12 moths which the lease company agreed to . In September 2025 it broke down on the M25. We contacted the lease company who arranged for it to be towed to an authorised garage for repair. 2 days later they said they had terminated the contract as the vehicle was being defleeted as a non-runner as it was not economically viable to repair. They advised for us to remove all belongings and leave the keys with the garage and they would arrange for it to be toed away. A month later we received an invoice for damages to the vehicle. As it had taken over a month for them to invoice us and no mention of any charges we queried this as being a non-runner why would they need to repair any damage. They had no proof that the damage was caused by us as it could easily have been caused when being towed, in the garage being assessed or being finally towed away. I have formally complained but they are adamant the invoice stands.
Any suggestions please?
Many thanks
