Todays:
..the invoice is about 1.011,92 Euro. Attached you can find the copy. We got a chargeback of your credit card company about 994,23 Euro.
In this case you only paid 17,69 Euro for this invoice.
Please finally tell us, what`s wrong with this invoice, what do you imagine?
Kind regards

And today's:
We looked again into your matter.
As a goodwill gesture we reduced your invoice amount again and increased the discount to EUR 150.00.
We beg you to pay the remaining EUR 894.23 till the 27th of May 2016.
If the amount is not paid by specified date, we will transfer this matter to a collection agency.
Kind regards,

Quite amazing...
"Please finally tell us, what`s wrong with this invoice, what do you imagine?"
Really?! "finally tell us'???
It is as if each successive clerk that gets the file has no knowledge of the prior issues- the car problem, the chargeback; sixt's failure to respond to the chargeback; etc.

You drew me into this via your sponsored Twitter post. To think they pissed a customer off THAT MUCH just roped me in. If ONLY these reps had any sort of access to the file on this rental. If only they didn't need to ask you why it hasn't yet been paid and BEG for your payment. If only.....

Now, instead, I'll spend every penny they are looking for on telling this long, stupid, pathetic story. Every. Single. Penny.
I've never -ever- had an experience like this with any travel related company. Ever. And that's 15+ years of posting here and being considered a pretty darn knowledgeable member and frequent flier who's NOT looking for something for nothing. I never stay in chain hotels-- always splurge, I rent expensive cars, etc. These people at Sixt just couldn't -be- any stupider.
Language barrier even accounted for, the people who are writing these emails are abject dimwits.

Amen. HOW these idiots didn't/don't know that us beyond me. That's before one even gets to the fact that the tires were bald and mismatched.
