To be honest the premise and actual practical benefit of the scheme is hard to beat & it’s kept me mobile & improved my access for almost 25 years. So it has been beneficial in it core remit. The problem I have is the way it’s run, the lack of clarity and transparency & that it’s not putting us as customers first. The low numbers of cats available are slightly mitigated by the current / foreseeable climate but even in context motability operations could do much better strategically & operationally.
but with respect leaving the scheme I have no savings nor pension and survive on basic benefits and as I’ve had debts & rent arrears too – I’d never get a loan nor indeed could I afford one. If I left I’d have to buy a second hand cheap suv and Hope for the best and that the £264 a month from April would cover insurance, repairs and anything else.
I am hopeful that things will improve before I change again but if AP’s continue as there are or increase further then I’ll have no choice but to extend my current lease next year.
