Paid my final payment on my…

Paid my final payment on my car......over 10k
early to make sure it was received days before. It had cleared but some time after I received a reminder/snotty letter from VW.
They do not check their own systems for payments.
I complained Nov 25 then completely gave up they were obstructive. However did receive a letter at the end of May 26!! (Post mark stamped by VW 21/5/26......letter dated 31/12/25!!!! offering £50 compensation. By the time they remembered to post the letter my time to agree to accept the £50 had long expired.... 5 months!!!!
Contacted Ombudsman and was re offered the £50.
My VW car has been great VW financial services shoddy and unprofessional to say the least.

Wearside Audi

From the moment I walked through the doors of the dealership, everything was explained in a no nonsense manner. All of my questions and queries were answered above what I expected. A very straight forward way of conducting business.

The transaction was delayed on the car collection day due to a clerical error made by the dealership which resulted in a 1 hour delay in very hot weather. Also the apr you charcoal is higher than other manufacturers and nearly led me to opting for another BMW

Failure to show basic customer service

Failure to address a customer by the appropriate name, despite being told several times in writing. Failure to use a person's full name as shown on the ID supplied. A failure to display the basics of customer service in other words.

Too reliant on bots and automated messages

Had to send same documents time and time again and kept getting an automated message back asking for more documents!
Couldn’t speak to anyone

VWFS - avoid and go elsewhere.

VWFS lost the settlement payment when I traded in my Q5 for a different brand. It took over 4 weeks, 8 phone calls and considerable stress to resolve. Initially they blamed the other retailer, then had zero interest in looking for the missing money when they knew it was their fault. Every time I called, the agent gave a different story. You should judge a company on what happens when things go wrong, and VWFS have failed miserably. Still waiting for a call from their complaints team - I won’t be buying anything from VW or Audi until I get an apology. Disgraceful, untrustworthy and no customer focus whatsoever.
