Re: leased vehicle excess wear charges

You asked about getting screwed by a lessor.

Geez, give them a couple of billion of your hard-earned dollars and they still want more.

Their assertion of damage is irrelevant. If there is a claim they can make that claim formally and prove it. You left that car with their representative and your responsibility ended there. It seems you did all you needed to do to protect your interest. If they bring a claim or even if they report it as an outstanding debt then they open themselves up to various claims.
