No. If the lessor somehow messed up, you can hold them responsible. You should call an officer (president or vice-president) of the company and make your complaint known. Let them know you will take legal action if they do not return your car (if it was taken from you) and/or reinstate your lease immediately. Also demand an apology letter explaining that it was their fault in case this appears on your report at a later date. Failing such, hire an attorney to immediately take action to protect your good name and credit history.
