Dear Keira,I hope this email finds you well.During my visit in December, I formally requested the information outlined below. As I have not yet received a response, I would be grateful if you could now provide the outstanding documentation and supporting evidence:• A copy of the insurance documentation used to cover your loan vehicles.• The full agreement documentation that I signed in relation to the loan vehicle. The documents currently in my possession make no reference to a £500 excess for windscreen or glass damage.• High-definition photographic evidence of the vehicle prior to the commencement of the loan, clearly confirming that it is the same vehicle provided to me and evidencing its condition at handover.• High-definition photographic evidence of the vehicle at the point of return, clearly confirming that it is the same vehicle that was loaned to me.For the avoidance of doubt, the £500 payment was made under protest. We felt under considerable pressure to make this payment in order to secure the return of our own vehicle. I consider this to be inconsistent with the requirements of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which requires contractual terms to be fair, transparent, and not imposed through undue pressure. This payment was made notwithstanding my firm belief that the alleged windscreen damage was not attributable to me. I raised the presence of the crack at the time of returning the loan vehicle, as I was disappointed to have been provided with a vehicle that appeared to have a visible defect at the outset.While I do not dispute that a cracked windscreen may constitute “damage” in general terms, the agreement I signed makes no specific reference to windscreen or glass damage, nor does it evidence that the vehicle was free from defects at the point of handover. In the absence of clear disclosure, a signed condition report, or dated photographic evidence demonstrating that the windscreen was undamaged at the outset, I do not accept liability for the charge applied, which, as stated, was paid under protest solely to secure the return of my own vehicle.By way of context, on a previous occasion I was loaned a vehicle that was not clean and had scratches that only became apparent once I had returned home. My service advisor at the time, Ryan Moran, was unaware of these defects and requested that I provide photographic evidence, which I subsequently did. In light of this prior experience, I was concerned that the present situation may be similar and that not all defects are consistently identified or recorded by your camera inspection system.I would also note that this situation could have been avoided had the replacement of the high-voltage heater been appropriately progressed with my warranty provider while my vehicle was with you for service in November. My vehicle remained in your possession for over a week, during which time I was advised that the required part was in stock but that authorisation from the warranty provider was required. No such authorisation was sought at that time, and I was therefore required to leave without the work being completed. Following several subsequent telephone calls to progress the authorisation, I eventually spoke with you directly. During that call, while I was on hold, you contacted the warranty provider and obtained authorisation within approximately 20 minutes. The vehicle was then booked in for the repair, and a loan vehicle was arranged. This sequence of events has been both frustrating and disappointing, particularly given that the matter could have been resolved during my vehicle’s initial period in your care, thereby avoiding the need for additional visits, further inconvenience, and the subsequent dispute that has arisen.I look forward to receiving a substantive written response from you, or from one of the other listed contacts, together with the documentation and evidence requested above.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Yours sincerely,Sarah StockleyMrs Sarah StockleyJourneys End

I registered a complaint in December and I have had no contact and also no responses to my emails from the dealership. Honestly, I can’t believe the whole experience. It’s a joke. Can someone contact me to discuss my complaint.

I am disgusted with the treatment I have had from your JLR Buckinghamshire dealership. I can give a full timeline of events for my complaint directly to the complaint handler when assigned. This is in relation to the treatment from the sales team and aftercare/service team. Please contact me ASAP to discuss as no one from the dealership is responding to my emails and when I call direct they are impossible to deal with, promise call backs and don’t call back.
