ZERO HONESTY AND LACK OF COMMUNICATION

I bought a Mahindra XUV300 through Marquis 4 months ago through Marquis. Throughout the entire process, no one explained that they do not provide cross-border letters for agreements younger than 6 months.

I now sit in a situation where I spent money to visit the Afriski resort in Lesotho (accommodation and skiing activities) but they refuse to send me a cross-border letter, which is a requirement to enter another country with the vehicle.

This means that I am not able to go on the vacation I already paid for. I have the necessary comprehensive insurance but they still only shrug their shoulders and tell me that it is my problem. The customer service agent was very rude repeating herself telling me they won't provide me with a dross border letter. I asked her to escalate it and she said she would and send me an email confirming that she has escalated but still have not received any feedback.

There is also no mention of this limitation in the contract. There was zero honesty about this limitation when signing the contract.

My finance agreement with them is only 2 months short of the required age.

Perhaps even worse is their lack of general communication. Queries and complaints are not good. Phone calls and emails alike take ages to be answered. There is absolutely zero effort from them to help resolve the issue.

Dear Le-andra,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I am deeply sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered regarding the cross-border letter for your Mahindra XUV300 and the inconvenience it has caused you, especially concerning your planned trip to the Afriski resort in Lesotho.

I understand how frustrating it must be to find out about this limitation only after making all your travel arrangements and the significant disappointment it has caused. This situation does not reflect the high standards of service we aim to provide at Marquis, and I regret that our communication and support fell short in your case.

I assure you that we take your feedback very seriously. It is concerning to hear that the cross-border policy was not clearly explained during the purchase process and that it is not mentioned in the contract. We are committed to addressing these gaps in our communication and transparency to prevent similar issues in the future.

Regarding the rude behavior of our customer service agent, I apologize sincerely. Professionalism and respect are core values for our team, and this will be addressed internally to ensure it does not happen again.

To resolve your immediate concern, I will personally contact you via email or phone as per the contact details, in order to retrieve your ID number or the agreement number. Thus, once done I will escalate your case to our senior management team and ensure it receives the urgent attention it deserves. You will receive a confirmation email shortly, and I will keep you updated on the progress. We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation has caused and are committed to finding a solution. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We value your business and are dedicated to making things right.
Best regards,
