Our Service

From our website/email shots we will show different cars from a number of different leasing companies that you may want to lease. If you then pass on your details to us indicating that you would like to potentially lease a vehicle, then we will pass on your details to the leasing company.  As part of this procedure extra checks such as, a credit check may be carried out on you. The leasing company will also send you an agreement which you will normally have to sign (unless they accept electronic signatures), agreeing to their terms and conditions before a contract exists between you and them.

We will also try and keep in contact with you as part of our Treating Customers Fairly Policy, notifying you of special offers, regulatory changes or other products that you may be interested in.

Treating Customers Fairly

We are committed to a policy of Treating Customers Fairly and place the interests of the customer at the heart of the firm’s business strategy. Our commitments to you are:

  • To treat you as an individual and listen to you;

  • To act at all times with integrity;

  • To address your concerns in a sympathetic and understanding manner.

If you have any feedback, whether good or bad, let us know, as we value your views to help us shape the future of our company.

Data Protection and Confidentiality

Any personal data you provide will be treated as confidential and held securely. We will not pass your personal data to any other organisation unless it is necessary to do so to fulfil our obligations to fulfil your requirements or where required by any regulation or enactment, or with your consent. You have a right to request access to any personal data held by us by writing to Creative Client Services Limited.

Credit Referencing

In order to be able to offer a vehicle for leasing, the supplier of the vehicle or their finance company, as part of credit acceptance arrangements may carry out credit checks using external credit agencies. Such checks may appear on your credit file regardless of whether or not your application proceeds.

Fees and Remuneration

  • Booking Fee ‐ we normally charge a booking fee and this will be payable when you submit the proposal form to us. We will advise you of this as part of the booking process.  If you fail the credit check or the vehicle is lost through no fault of your own, then we will refund this.

  • Initial Payment ‐ this is the initial payment you will need to pay the leasing company for the vehicle that you are leasing. Please check your final agreement with the leasing company for details on this.

  • Monthly Cost ‐ this is the monthly cost of the vehicle that you are leasing that you will pay to the leasing company each month during the duration of the lease. This normally starts from the second month. Please check your final agreement with the leasing company for details on this.

  • Procuration Fee ‐ occasionally the leasing company may pay us a small fee for completion of a lease.

  • Gap Insurance ‐ we do not currently offer Gap Insurance, but we will tell you what Gap Insurance is, and where you might find Gap Insurance. In the future, if and when we find several Gap Insurance providers then we may contact you about this type of product.

  • Cancellation Fee ‐ after successful finance checks have been conducted, we will send you a Vehicle Order Confirmation form for you to sign. Once you sign this document, we will place this order and at this point should you wish to cancel the order, you will be liable for a cancellation fee which you will have to pay as detailed in the Vehicle Order Confirmation. This fee normally starts from £500+vat / 3 months rental (whichever is the higher amount), but some leasing companies can charge in excess of £10,000 for a cancellation of a vehicle, as an unsold vehicle depreciates over time.

  • Other Fees ‐ there may be other fees that the Leasing company may charge you, this will be clearly explained in their final agreements/terms and conditions. We have listed a couple of these for your guidance.

    • Normally if you go over the contracted lease mileage then you may have to pay a excess mileage charge

    • If the vehicle that is returned at the end of the lease has damage beyond the conditions of fair wear and tear, then the leasing company will normally pass the cost of repair/damage onto you.

    • Please check the leasing companies agreements to see a full lists of their charges.
