An update on Leasing Safely at Bussey Vehicle Leasing
We have core staff keeping the leasing business running, working remotely but accessible to you when needed. Our website still has new offers beings added and you can of course research and compare our deals online. If you have a car or van deal in mind please call, email or chat to us online for us to quote you specific to your needs. Applications for finance and all paperwork can be completed online or digitally and where vehicles and delivery are available this will be arranged in line with our safe working practices led by the latest government guidance.
Even though our physical sales operations are not open, we can arrange unaccompanied test drives in Ford or Peugeot product.
I have already ordered a new vehicle, when will it be delivered?
Nearly all manufacturers closed factories and distribution networks in March that will of course impact on delivery times, especially on factory orders. Vehicles in stock will be in some cases available for key workers but most will be delayed until lockdown measures change. We will keep you up to date as much as possible as things change. If you are replacing a vehicle on lease with us already then we can offer extensions at no increased monthly cost until the situation changes.
My lease is coming up, what options do I have?
You can hand your vehicle at one of our service sites in Norwich where it will have an inspection to normal BVRLA Wear & Tear return standards. Our service team will be following social distancing measures other protocols to keep both you and them safe. We can offer an extension to your lease term on a rolling basis and we can offer the vehicle for purchase in some circumstances. Please make contact to discuss your options.
I have been affected by Covid-19 and cannot afford my lease payments?
The Finance and Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced a package of measures to directly support consumers (not business) facing payment difficulties directly due to Covid-19. The FCA expects us to offer assistance that meets the consumers’ needs who are having temporary difficulties meeting leasing payments. If consumers are experiencing temporary financial difficulties due to coronavirus, the FCA also expects us to not take steps to end the agreement or repossess the vehicle. Please make contact to discuss your particular circumstances.
