We had two Skodas to exchange. It was made easy.

We had two Skodas to exchange. James at Johnsons Erdington was brilliant - explaining what was available , putting a competitive finance packages together and getting us money back on unexpired insurances. The cancellations of the previous direct debits went through smoothly.

I took out the agreement to buy my vehicle as was awaiting a large payment, which had taken way too long to arrive!
Once the money arrived, I called VWFS to repay the loan. The process was easy and was explained to me by the call handler with an email arriving within minutes. I was able to pay the outstanding balance quite easily.

Allow customers to speak to a human to discuss any problems or misunderstandings.
In my case I simply wanted to know why direct debit payments have not been taken from my account. Instead I was told that my request to pay off the whole debt in one payment was accepted ( which I definitely do not want)- this was probably my misunderstanding of your system but it was impossible to speak to someone to resolve the issue.
I have now decided to call my VW retailer to ask him to intervene on my behalf

Thank you for leaving us your review Bruce. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be unable to speak with someone directly when you were simply trying to understand why your Direct Debit payments had stopped. We also appreciate how concerning it would have been when a misunderstanding led you to believe that a request to settle your agreement in full had been processed instead. We're sorry that you were unable to easily resolve the issue and that this led you to seek support through your retailer.
You will receive an email notification from Trustpilot requesting some contact details, as we would appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and put things right. If you would prefer to contact us directly instead, please contact us at 0370 010 2022 or CustomerServices@vwfs.co.uk and we will be happy to assist you.

I have been a loyal customer with…

I have been a loyal customer with Volkswagen Financial Services for over two years, but my recent experience trying to cancel a VW All-in service plan after selling my vehicle has been completely unacceptable.
I notified VWFS in writing with the exact active agreement and warranty policy numbers immediately after selling the car. When the buyer decided not to take over the plan, I sent explicit written instructions to cancel the agreement and stop all Direct Debits. Instead of processing the cancellation, VWFS mistakenly pulled up an expired policy from 2023 that I never referenced, claimed the plan had already matured, and failed to action the cancellation on the active plan.
For four months, VWFS continued to take unauthorized Direct Debit payments from my bank account for a car I no longer owned. I sent multiple emails to their customer service team trying to resolve this and was completely ignored—left in the dark with no response at all.
When they finally responded months later, they had the audacity to claim I never replied to their emails, completely ignoring my timestamped written records. They blamed me for their own administrative errors, refused to refund the unauthorized payments taken after my cancellation notice, and demanded an additional settlement fee.
The sheer lack of communication, internal disorganization, and complete disregard for customer loyalty is shocking. Avoid their service plans unless you want unauthorized bank charges and zero support when you need it. Absolute disaster of a customer service operation.

Thank you for leaving us your review Josef. We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to provide clear instructions to cancel your service plan, only to have payments continue to be taken after you had sold your vehicle. We also understand how disappointing it would have been to receive little communication while trying to resolve the issue and then feel that your concerns had not been fully acknowledged.

Fantastic process from start to finish

Fantastic process from start to finish. Great team made me feel welcome during the time I spent with them. Looking forward to purchasing my next vehicle from the same group. Matthew Saunders Shelton dealt with every request I gave him in a professional and courteous manner.
