Dear Sir/Madam, Between 26-28 October 2024 we rented a van for moving purposes from DOCKX rental with the deposit 600 EUR which was reserved on our credit card. We paid for the highest insurance to be covered. During moving we caused small damage to the van which was immediately reported to DOCKX. When returning the van, the DOCKX representative informed us that the deposit will be released back to our account and that any additional charges will be sent via an invoice. When we received the invoice, we paid it immediately. On 07-Nov-2024 we contacted DOCKX central with our concerns about them withholding deposit. We also expressed our additional concerns: - why in booking details of our account the amount of deposit was retrospectively changed from 600 EUR to 1600 EUR - why the deposit is being withheld even when we paid all the invoices DOCKX have sent us - what exactly was covered in our insurance - we took the highest possible insurance to be safe and covered. - why were we informed on the call that my deposit is being returned and then when we came personally your colleague informed us that it's actually being withheld? We were first informed on 14-Nov-2024 via email that our deposit was released, so we followed up asking for a receipt or confirmation (while email chain with the receipt attached). When we again contacted DOCKX that the receipt is not confirmation of deblocking the deposit and that they did not address our other concerns, someone else from DOCKX representatives replied that they collected our deposit to cover the damage - which they failed to inform us about. Our other concerns about why they manipulated data in our account were ignored. Then we received another email saying that the deposit was released and we should contact a bank. When inquiring again that the previous email said the deposit was taken we received another email that the deposit was indeed taken from our. Our other questions and concerns were completely ignored by DOCKX. Since, we do not consider the situation handled fairly towards us as customers, we request DOCKX to explain why the amount of deposit in our online account was manipulated if they used our deposit for the damage repair (which they failed to communicate), what was then covered by our insurance, and again reevaluate the whole situation and the amount of deposit they want to keep and if so to explain all concerns which were previously ignored. Kind regards, Asen Hristozov Attachments: - email chain conversation with the receipt attached - initial reservation payment with the deposit of 600 EUR - screenshot of our online account where the deposit was changed to 1600 EUR retrospectively

Dear Asen Hristozov, We would first like to apologise for the situation that occurred. Situations like this can be easily resolved with good communication from our side, as well as from our clients. We’ve seen all documents you send us in attachment of your mail. This clarifies the communication that was held between you and our shop in Leuven (Herent). We’ve asked story from our shop as well and can come to the following conclusion. When picking up the car, you’ve chosen for our MAXI cover (risk of €750 which is not an insurance but an exemption in case of damage) and paid the warranty of €600 with your credit card, as visible on the rental contract. At the return of the car in our shop, a new damage was registered on the car. Our software system automatically calculates the exemption of the damage on top of your rental price, creating a price of € 1.140,50 (taxes included). When you then look up your reservation on your account, the deposit will be recalculated based on the total price needing to be paid. That explains the shown deposit of € 1.600 on your reservation tile. This amount is of course automatically calculated and not physically corrected by one of our Shop Agents, as previously assumed. We then received from our shop the price estimate of the damage, which was over your chosen lowered exemption during your rental agreement. Therefore, the full exemption (€ 750) was charged on top of the rental price. The warranty (or deposit) was not released until the price estimate from our shop was received with all costs of the damage on. We then charged the € 600 as warranty from your credit card and released the reservation. What I can conclude from this, is that communication with several people from Dockx led to unclear information regarding the damage and return of the deposit. No information was manipulated regarding these circumstances in neither party ‘s advantage. We will present this dossier to the shop agents in Leuven for education purposes to learn from. However, we regret that this has taken place. If there is any information unclear from my mail, please don’t hesitate in contacting us directly. We wish you a nice day further and hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards.
