Worst Experience in Netherlands
Worst Experience in Netherlands
So where do I start!
One of my most unpleasant experiences so far in the Netherlands was a decision to get a bike from this company while mine was in the repairs.
I'll try to keep it short, so I don't spam you with a massive text.
- Without insurance you will definitely pay for every small scratch on the bike, luckily I took it otherwise they would put a 60 euro price on a scratched seat and 150 for some bike issues, that were already there.
- Bike doesn't have any security, if someone really wants to steal it, or steal your battery they can easily do that, keys or locks are generic.
- They have separate links for all the payments, meaning if you pay together for many payments at same time, it might not work. The system is made in such a way so it doesn't pay off your previous bills and you never get a full bill or a proper invoice from this company.
- Staff in the shop cannot tell you about the price to pay, the phone is busy, and their support on email refuses to give you the exact sum unless you take Consumer Protection in your emails to find out how much you need to pay.
- Customer service has snarky employees who respond to questions like angsty teenagers, and try to force more of your payments to debt collectors.
- Overpriced and intentionally made in such a way to put you into debt, or lose money.
- Their system keeps sending me warnings even tho I have paid all their bills.
- Bike quality is very low, breaks didn't work for me and I nearly got hit by a car, fell, and broke my arm a week after I rented this ****.
- You can take this bike for weekly payments, but here is a thing, you have to give them one month's notice before giving this bike away, putting you into payment even if you aren't using the bike.
- If you want to give this bike away, you cannot just drop it, you have to book an appointment, but did I mention the security part?
-After my payment didn't go through [and I didn't know, bad system remember] they put me in to debt collectors, charged additional 40 euro Incasso costs.
-They made the wrong invoice and didn't retract their collectors notice, to give me time to pay for everything, especially with proof that one of my payments didn't go through.
-Debt collectors didn't contact me until I called them to find out what is happening, and AFTER I paid the bill for E-Bike.
I highly recommend avoiding this company, read other negative reviews, and just consider other options for a temporary bike rental.
