Sixt extorted money from me. Stay away from these crooks
I rented a car from Sixt Italy and returned it with no problems at the end of the rental period. But 3.5 years later, I get a surprise letter from eCollect, a debt collection agency in Germany, demanding I pay €180 for an unpaid €35 admin fee they never told me about in the first place. Over the following 9 months Sixt and eCollect refused my attempts to speak to them, whilst increasing the amount due and threating legal action at the same time (it is after all cheaper to send parrot fashion emails than it is to hear somebody out properly). To put an end to things and achieve peace of mind, I had no other option but to pay the inflated bill (a figure they also refused to substantiate) My experiences with them, and many of the comments here, make it clear that Sixt and eCollect employ a calculated, well oiled playbook to extort money from people by exploiting their nerves and using the leverage large businesses have relative to individuals. Stay away from these awful criminals
