I hope that you will help me.
When I leased a Honda Civic in August 1997, I paid a $1,000 of Security deposit.By the time the Lease was mature I received a bunch of letters from Honda, telling that, if I will get another Honda they will return a deposit and waive a disposition fee.
But I choose a Nissan.

When I return my Honda at Route 22 Honda Dealership, A Honda Dealer accepted it in the good condition. And I contacted a Honda
Finance and asked when I will get my Deposit (minus disposition fee) back, I've been told that they will return it after one year. A month later I received a bill from Them for $640.26. It stated that there was $1,360 worth scratches on the car.

It looks like if I would take another Honda as they pushed me to do, there would be No scratches at all. And $1,360.00 is the way too mach for scratches. I went To a car repair shop and asked them to look at the damage report, Honda Finance sent to me, the mechanics in the shop told me all the items in the report are at least four times of the price they would charge.

The car was on the road for three years, and I paid for the wear and tear by my leasing payments.

I spoke with Honda Finance's representatives: When I asked who determines what is excess wear and tear, they told me they have a specialist for that and they also determine the price for fixing a damage, so they can charge what ever they determine and I don't have any control over that.

All they did it was sending a bills and call in demand the money. Any of my attempts to clear the matter took me nowhere.
I am frustrated.

Thank you.
