Karlsruhe (dpa) - The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) clarifies today (11.00 a.m.) in which cases consumers can revoke a leasing contract for a car.
When leasing, the customer does not buy the car but pays monthly installments.
There are two models: Either it is agreed how many kilometers the customer is likely to drive.
Or it is determined how much the car should still be worth at the end of the term.
Residual value contracts can be revoked.
In the case of kilometer leasing, on the other hand, it is unclear whether this is possible - now the question is to be decided in Karlsruhe in the last instance.
In the sample case, the lawsuit is directed against the Mercedes Benz leasing company.
Whether there is already a judgment is open.
The background: Normally the period for revocation is 14 days.
However, if the consumer is not properly informed of his rights, this period does not begin to run.
The contract can then be revoked even after years.
If lawyers discover such a "withdrawal joker", it can be a good opportunity for consumers to get rid of their car cheaply.
