    Hello everyone; haven’t posted in quite awhile, but I’d like to ask about the Bosch settlement particularly in Canada. I returned my 2015 Passat TDI last August through early lease termination. All good no problems. Has anyone in Canada received any kind of refund or cheque from Bosch here...

    Thanks guys... Chalk another one up to our incredible government ! ! I wonder what would've happened had it been a couple of Canadian researchers/students that found "irregularities" with TDI engines emissions levels.

    Thanks "encode" for clearing that up. I went through an early lease termination so there were different steps for me. It wasn't a buyback situation or loan payoff to lien holder.

    To be honest with; I'm not spending a lot of time on here anymore ever since I returned my car. But, I do remember someone saying that Ricepoint did away with the buyback calculator awhile ago, so I can't really say. Just take your time, the help line is there. Unfortunately they weren't...

    Ah .... My friend, how much the truth hurts... You took the words right out of my mouth. It's funny whenever the Americans poke fun at us when they say we're constantly apologizing, saying please and thankyou too often.... It's a shame we don't have more help from the our government to have...

    Funny how are government works... They waited two years before they raided VW Canadian headquarters or determined they did something illegal . Think they're a little late to the party ? Can't remember exactly but, well over a year ? maybe 18 months ago their offices all over the world were...

    One of the service writers/advisers at vw dealer I used to go to told me there's a massive storage area parking lot near Niagara Falls that's being used to hold cars that have been returned/bought back. Yes, it's extremely sad to see. Perfectly good cars being taken off the road fir no good...

    I must say, my process went extremely well. My appointment started almost 1 hour later than scheduled but, the Ricepoint Rep kept apologizing over and over. I got all worked up over nothing; I was a little uneasy because it was an Early Lease Termination...it all went down smoothly, no...

    Free at last !!! Finally completed my Early Lease Termination today. My appointment was for 10:00 am, got there early but unfortunately Ricepoint Rep was having a really bad start. I didn't get started until 10:45 am, but once he called me into his office I think it took all but 10 mins...

    You'd probably serve more time in a maximum security penitentiary killing a Canada Goose rather than defraud and steal from thousands of consumers... lol

    Many people keep forgetting.. our government doesn't give a rat's a$$ when it comes to the Consumer Protect Act(don't even know why we have it) and also ..when it comes time to take on any large corporations, our government will put their tail between their legs and run for the hills. This goes...
