English Leasing - Bad Leasing Company Review from Cosgrove, England
Awful customer service - avoid at all costs!
Sale Policy Review
Ok till you have a problem!!
After contacting citizens advice and writing to the owner, he agreed to fix the faults we both mutually agreed on with no problems at all. I picked my car up earlier and am happy with the result.
Im not saying whether or not I would recommend as I have obviously had this problem, but it was fixed, so im on the fence! Just felt I had to add this on to my other comment.
Ripped off and lied to
Avoid English Leasing Ltd!
English Leasings Ltd-Complete sham of a company!
I recently bought a car from English Leasings Lmtd who supposedly do a full check on all vehicles and service them before selling- Stated on the website as the following; 'All our vehicles undergo rigorous preparation and servicing and are backed by a comprehensive warranty'.
Their list of incompacies is huge, but i will try to outline all the failings if possible.
I bought the car for 8 Grand, not a light sum to pay and with that i expected a good quality and standard of service-i was wrong.
Pleasant and courteous staff greeted and meeted until i signed over the deposit and collected the car a week later-then the troubles began.
They offered to transfer my number plate so i signed the relevant forms as was told i'd be contacted when it was sorted. Initially, i found several faults with the car like it had an engine light on, broken headlights and the CD player did not work-i was told this was not part of the guarentee and i could pay them to fix it or get it done independently-not quite the moto on their website.
6 months down the line and i was kindly informed by DVLA after my enquiries into why my number plate transfer was taking so long that not only did i not own the number plate anymore, i also didn't own the car i had purchased and was driving it with an illegal plate on.
I contacted English Leasings and they were shocked, stunned but utterly uninterested in helping me and kept saying they'd sort it. Two months later, still nothing.
In the mean time i had visited a solicitor to try to substantiate my case and get my number plate back, but yet again English Leasings, were not interested In the end i had to find the details of the person who had bought my car and she trustingly signed it back over to me so that i could get my number plate back and then transfer it onto my new car from English Leasings.
I also had to contact the previous owner (again after visiting the DVLA to request information) to try and sort out the issue of driving with a replica number plate on and no tax disc!
As you can imagine, this was not an easy task, and one which English Leasings could not care less about. They also lost my tax disc which meant i had to pay for a replacement and encounter endless trips to the DVLA to try and explain the mess i was in.
The DVLA man advised me never to do business with such an irresponsible and untrustworthy firm again.
Strangely enough, my car (which was fine when i part exchanged it to English Leasings) also had a broken CD player when i contacted the new owner. After getting them fixed, we both found out that two CDs had been shoved into the CD player, which i can only assume is another scam to make more money out of you.
Eventually, over 10 months later i now legally own the new car, have my private plate back and a tax disc, working headlights and CD but to my own, rather than with the help of English Leasings. Do not buy, rent or part exchange with this company, whilst they may appear to be sophisticated on the outside, they are irresponsible and reckless, they have not apologised, refunded or even returned my recent phone calls......and if it was left to them, i'd still have no car, no number plate and probably a criminal record for driving with duplicate plates (which they knew, but forgot to tell me). Be warned and be very carefull.

Horrendous company,Rip you off and have a the worst customer relations I've ever come across.Do not buy a car from these crooks. I've had nothing but trouble with my car I've purchased from them and they are not helping with the problems with the car at all.
This guy rob needs locking up for selling these dodgy cars,putting people's life's at risk..stay away from 150cars at all costs,I repeat stay away from 150 cars.
I too have had tremendous problems with Rob. I bought a car from him which had problems as soon as I drove it away.
I've been locked in battles ever since. His attitude is rude, patronising and argumentative. At this stage he has my car and my £4000.
He's refusing to refund me but happy for me to pick up the dodgy car. Looks as though we are going to court.
Could not agree more. Purchased a second hand car.
Was told tyres would be replaced as almost illegal. They put old ones one. Took to tyre place and was told the tyres they put on were nearly legal. So that was their first lie.
Tried to speak to owner ( never available). Total rip off merchants.
Would not recommend to anyone. Once they have your money they couldn't care less
We also bought a car from here and had problems with car & owners! Deffo would not recommend!!
Were any of the problems rectified? Did anyone get their money back or take then to court? I'm in the process of trying both.
