Sixt Car Rental Didn't Refund My Deposit and Charged Unexpected Fees

I rented a car from Sixt, but they still haven't refunded my deposit—it’s still pending as a hold on my credit card. When we initially rented the car, the price was supposed to include all taxes, but the invoice showed an unexplained tax deduction. We didn’t return the car with a full tank, and the email we received stated it was at 7/8 full. The attendant at drop-off mentioned that they would charge around €30-35, but they ended up charging €70. I paid a €300 deposit plus €87 for an additional driver, totaling €387 that’s still pending. Additionally, they charged €200 directly to my credit card. When I contacted them about the issue, they responded that they would investigate, but it's been over a week, and I'm still waiting for a resolution.
