The leasing company Drommeleasing, which was based in Svendborg on Funen, has collapsed during bankruptcy, after the authorities revealed gross fraud with the cars.
The well-known leasing company from Svendborg, "Drommeleasing", has become the center of a larger case of financial fraud.
Subsequently, a larger number of cars and motorcycles have been seized. In February 2017, the company went bankrupt. And it soon became clear that the business model that the company was after was based on non-payment of the statutory registration fee on the leased choir stalls.
Almost 500 choir uniforms were seized in this connection because the Debt Agency demanded it when the fraud was discovered.
Many of the lessees had entered into agreements with Drommeleasing in order to be able to afford luxury cars and motorcycles, which they normally would not have had the opportunity to buy themselves.
It involved cars such as Mercedes, Porsche and BMW, as well as motorcycles such as Harley Davidson. The firm presented a solution where customers only had to pay a reduced registration fee, also known as "proportional registration fee".

But a closer look at the company revealed that the leasing agreements effectively placed the customers as owners of the chore trains. In other words, the full registration fee should have been paid. In total, the authorities believe they have been defrauded of 11 million kroner.
According to the investigation, some of the choir cars were also leased out to people connected to the gang milieu who subsequently owned the cars themselves.
The audit firm Baker Tilly, which was tasked with ensuring that Drommeleasing's economic activities complied with the law, failed to discover the missing payments of registration tax. This has led to questions from both Skat Sparekassen Sjælland-Fyn, which has worked together with curator Mads Sommerfeldt from the law firm Ret og Råd to map the economic consequences of the company's activities.
After the bankruptcy, the director of Drommeleasing was reported to the police. It quickly became apparent that there was virtually no money to be had in the bankruptcy estate, which has left both creditors and lessees without financial compensation. At the same time, many of the former customers are left without the cars and motorcycles they had dreamed of being able to drive.
The case of Drommeleasing bankruptcy is not the only case that has shaken the leasing industry in recent years. One of the very large leasing companies went bankrupt in 2020. The director was then arrested, but the case is not yet closed.
