Complaint Review: First Data Global Leasing

First Data Leasing had no direct contract with me for providing equipment.  The agreement was between them and the company with whom I contracted, Prestige.  When Prestige broke its contract with me prior to my ever using its service once, it advised Global Leasing.  However, GL continued to embezzle funds from my checking account when it had first-hand knowledge that it wasn't providing me with any service since my equipment had never been set up and it had already been advised by Prestige that the contract was dissolved.

FD continued to embezzle funds from my checking account even though I made numerous attempts to contact its supervisors but its assistant would never allow my call to go through; I wrote but never received anything other than bills even though it knew the contractor had cancelled the contract and so had I.

GL sent me a contract to sign after about 1 year of embezzling funds from me (that was the reason I changed my checking account was to prevent further harm), its contract stated it was for a "lifetime" which is illegal, and also stated in the same document that it was for "48 months" whch made no sense but supports my position that GL had no direct contract with me, inflated the costs for its equipment by 300% or more on a monthly basis, and failed to follow the directive from the contracting company that the contract was dissolved and that it should forward to me a mailing label so its equipment could be returned.

After the fact, GL advised me that even if I returned its equipment, I was still under contract with it.  This company had no contract with me, I wasn't directly involved in the contract between it and Prestige and wasn't aware of the contractual obligation Prestige made with it, and it obviously knew that or it wouldn't have sent me a contract, even though illegal, to sign. 

GL has no signed contract with me, never serviced me even once, knew I never used its equipment, knew the contractor no longer had a contract with me, so knew its service was unnecessaary and still it charged me and considerably more than my present provider--at least 6 times more than what its equipment is worth on a monthly basis. 

At some point GL turned my name in to the credit card companies in an effort to harm my credit ratng and advised them that I owed it $3,000 which is totally fraudulent.  This company needs to be investigated for unethical and illegal activity to harm businesses by forcing them to pay for service it knows it never provides.  Everyone should complain to the Attorney Generals' offices at all of their locations so that we can obtain an investigation into the operation of this company for as I read the complaints of others, this is a common, illegal practice that this company is guilty of doing,  This company needs to be exposed to protect all businesses, but especially the small businesses, from its activity.
