Complaint Review: Americorp Leasing LLC

This is about Payment Systems Corp and Americorp Leasing, LLC.  Ms Andrea Pontious came into my shop and showed me a way to save money on processing. I was more than delighted.

After a couple months I read over the contract and was completely amazed that she lied through her teeth about the whole contract.  I was in another contract which had a cancellation fee of $495.00 which I was bound to at the time for four years.  She informed me that they would pay that $495.00 for me and get me in another contract at which the cancellation fee was only $295.00 and a 2 year contract.  I guess I should not have took her word but the contract was so small I could not even see the wording.

After calling the company Payment Systems Corp told me I could not cancel the Merchant lease because it was NON-CANCELLABLE but I could cancel their service and I would be charged $995.00 which was way more than I was told. They said because it was a four year contract I would have to pay that amount.  I was told it was a 2 year contract and $295.00 early termination fee.  This is outrageous.  All I want is to cancel both of them because I was lied to. When I called the lady who came into my shop she could only say, “I am busy and don’t have time to talk to you.”  This is BULL.

I feel these two companies need to be shut down and taken off the map.  They are liars and cheats.  They are charging for a processing machine that you can buy anywhere for $200.00.

The lady also told me that I needed to get the new machine because of the chips that were going into credit cards and I would be charged $129.00 per month for the machine and all the processing. As of now I am being charged $149.95 from Americorp for the machine and all extras I am being charged processing fees from Payment Systems Corp.

The contract she had me sign say that I agree not to file a claim against them, but I never got a chance to even read the contract because she said she had to hurry and go to another client and assured me everything was ligit.

I just need to know what I can do to get out of this contract with the both of them.

Thank You, Leslie Joline
