Kassel customer in need: returning his Fiat 500e is becoming a nightmare!
A man from Kassel has to return his Fiat 500e near Lübeck after the Dürkop car dealership was closed.
Kassel customer in need: returning his Fiat 500e is becoming a nightmare!
In the northern German city of Kassel there is currently a heated dispute over the return of a leased vehicle, which could bring worry lines to the foreheads of many a lessee. Andreas Didzun, a citizen from Kassel, is forced to return his Fiat 500e, which he leased from the Dürkop car dealership. But for Didzun, the return is anything but easy. According to information from HNA.de his leasing contract ends today, October 26, 2025.
The reason for the difficulties is the closure of the Dürkop car dealership, which means that Didzun now has to take his vehicle to a dealer in Wesenberg in Schleswig-Holstein. This route, which is around 360 kilometers long, represents a major challenge for Didzun. He has to master the long journey in his electric car, whose range is only around 200 kilometers. This means that at least two charging breaks are required, which requires time and planning.
Health restrictions make returns difficult
The health restrictions that Didzun suffers from – he has hip arthritis – make the journey anything but easy. For this reason, he has decided not to keep the return date on November 28th at 12 p.m. and instead take legal action. He has already hired a lawyer to request a different return location. The stress surrounding the return of their leased vehicle could be a problem for many lessees leasingkontrolle.de is shown to be a known problem. Excessive billing and incorrect appraisals are common challenges when leasing.
Didzun is not alone in his worries; He learned that other Dürkop customers also had similar difficulties. That's why he's actively looking for other affected people who can contact us at the email address andreasdidzun@googlemail.com. The former Dürkop car dealership in Waldau is now empty and shows no signs of reopening, although company representatives had announced that the car dealership was to be taken over by Autodiscount24 GmbH as of September 1st.
A challenge for lessees
The Didzun case is a powerful reminder of how important it is to carefully select the leasing property and the lessor. It often happens that lessees are confronted with unjustified claims at the end of their contract term or are annoyed by unclear regulations in the small print. This makes it all the more important to find out about your own obligations in good time and, if necessary, to consult an experienced lawyer.
The complexity of the leasing market is in full view here: In addition to the challenges during the term, returns in particular can become an emotional and financial balancing act. Above all, the fear of incorrect invoices and exaggerated demands often gives lessees an uneasy feeling, as is also explained on leasingkontrolle.de.
It remains to be hoped that Didzun will find an amicable solution that will allow him to return the vehicle under reasonable conditions. Finding other affected lessees could help him present himself even more strongly to those responsible.
