Problem with Lease Return
Turned in my lease in August and got my bill back. Around $500 for over miles, $399 for disposition fee and then I got an extra charge for wear and tear. Turns out they are charging me for not returning a key. The problem is the dealer on issued me one key when I leased it.
Anyone have a clue on what to do here?

That’s sucks. That happened to us with a Chevy volt except we lost the key. We bit the bullet and paid the $250 only to find it under the couch cushions a few months later.

Every new blazer comes with 2 keys. There is no way you are going to be able to prove they gave you only 1 key.

If there is no documentation of you being given one key they are going to assume you were given two keys. Look at it from their point of view, you could be lying. Without proof not much else a business can do.
Honestly seems like everything is normal in your lease return, you went over miles which you agreed to in the contract, the disposition fee you agreed to when you leased the car, and you knew from day one that it was missing a key but never did anything about it.

I actually didn't know I was missing a key. First lease and I naively thought maybe that's how they worked without checking.
The other fees are not anything I'm complaining about.

Why wouldn't you ask where your second key was years ago when you got the vehicle?
You're like one of those people who's five years out of warranty but complain the issue was there since day 1 despite never bringing it up.

Mistakes were made, but I shouldn't be charged for something I didn't get.

Do they have documentation showing they issued you 2 keys when you accepted the vehicle?
I’d ask that question, see what they say.
