Citi Financial, Lease Finance Group ripoff, liars, harrassing, rude Chicago Illinois
My experience with this company has been nothing less than horendous. To begin with I was given a machine to use in a bar that was unable to adjust for tips---why would the rep even consider doing this?
I tried many times to get the machine reprogrammed, they never would help.
I sold my business over 5 months ago and am sub-leasing the equipment to the new owner. I have had nothing but headaches from this company in trying to do so.
They say one thing one time and then it's something else the next time. I have done everything they have asked to try and get them off my back including sending them $85.00 to sub-lease the equipment. They then finally sent the paperwork and it was returned and they now say they never got it.
They are still harassing me for payment---they can repossess the equipment if they want but will never get another dime from me, especially when the machine can be taken back and leased to someone else.

File your Report with FTC
#2Consumer Suggestion
Tue, June 29, 2004
Hi,
You may want to sent a complaint to FTC (Federal Trade Commission) . I did and received a response saying they don't do individual cases. However, if they log enough complaints, they will start an investigation and possibly legal action. So here is the link: https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01 to the FTC complaint form. I've told many people about it, so you may want to do the same. Make sure you give specific examples or even let them know you have documentation of deceptive or misleading information. Also, if possible, please scan & send copies of these documents to me at [DELETED]. I haven't given up, but it does take a while for the squeaky wheel to be heard.
As far as CIT, here is their main site: http://www.cit.com/main/default.htm . Also, within this site, I found e-mails and have sent copies of my rip-off report, including a copy of all the complaints listed under Lease Finance Group in the Rip-Off site. Here are some e-mail addresses, you may want to send your concerns to: investor.relations@cit.com, corpcomm@cit.com, directors@cit.com,
I did get the Rip-Off Report Do-It-Yourself Guide and it did have some good steps to follow. However, it was a little lacking in the cyberspace rip-offs. I've been paralleling the thoughts or ideas in this Guide to try to apply them to the internet. For example, instead of sending faxes, send e-mails. So every web site I am interested in, I look for e-mails and make up a group listing & start bombarding them with e-mails and include my rip-off report, plus any other rip-off concerns.
I hope this helps. Thanks, G for California
