Sixt have overcharged me administrative…
Sixt have overcharged me administrative fees. The story goes like this. I was in Italy using a Sixt car. I accidentally got fined. Sixt informed me I got fined. I was also informed directly by the Italian government that I was fined. I paid the fine. But Sixt also charged me something above 36 EURO just for informing me that I was fined, something I already knew via the Italian government. I thought that this was unfair and expensive, so I decided not to pay. So far I agree that there is an argument that I should have paid, but I did not, that was my decision at the time. I found the fee for just sending me a notification that I was fined was too high. What happened later is the problem. Sixt started accumulating a bunch of late-payment fees on my account over the years without telling me. When I say a bunch of fees I mean that from 36 EUR the fees went all the way up to EUR289! 800% increase! This includes charging me for "Reminder Fees" which reminders I have never received. I have proven to Sixt I never received the reminders and Sixt also could not prove that they sent such reminders. They could only prove they sent the original notification, but not the reminder. It was from the date of the phantom and alleged reminder that they started accumulating fees like crazy without even daring to inform me in any way. In the end, today, I decided to pay the entire bill, because they were going to take me to court in a foreign land and I do not have the means to pay for foreign lawyers to present my version of events. STAY AWAY I have all emails and evidence to prove all of the above.
