Christopher Rother, managing Director of the Profin process financing GmbH, warns customers prior to accepting the settlement: “With a hastily-made settlement offer VW a consumer-friendly BGH wants to come-decision previously, which is expected in may 2020. A clever, but transparent maneuver: The Wolfsburg-based group relies on the fact that many customers have no legal protection insurance and a process be afraid if you have to bear the costs and risks themselves,” says Rother. The business model of the financiers: customers get the same amount of compensation paid immediately; the money want to repeat the action company of VW and, accordingly, higher compensation can be achieved.

To him, the cancellation policy is displayed, he can download them as well. As will be made for a withdrawal form. He must also confirm that he has taken the teaching to the knowledge,” says Hauss.
