A door to door salesman told me that they could lower my credit card rates.  All I had to do was sign this contract that allowed them to look at my current credit card statements and see if they could lower the rates.  What I was not told is that it was actually a lease agreement for 48 months at 90.00 per month.AND I was personally guaranteeing the lease. 

I was surprised when a week or so later new credit card equipment showed up.  I contacted "ROSE" to get the equipment returned, she gave me the address and I sent it back unused and she assured .me everything was "OK". Now 2 years later they say they never received the equipment!. 

For months Lease Finance Group took the money out of my business checking, it was hidden with a cryptic code on the bank statements that resembled to me as credit card fees.  When I discovered this was in fact not credit card fees, I canceled authorization with my bank. 

This is when Lease Finance Group began calling the business several times a day.  Sometimes they would not speak, other times they discussed the alleged "DEBT" with my employees that answered the phone, other times they simply wanted to speak to me. 

I asked them not to call since it was causing distress at my place of business, I told them I disputed the charges.  That's when I started getting even more abusive calls.  I was so tired of the endless calling that I even finally offered a money compromise just to end the harassment.  I was told, "I (LFG Agent) would rather sue you for everything you own rather than take less money.  Prepare to go to New York City with your attorney." And he hung up the phone. 

Now I have been receiving threatening letters at home and at work and calls continue.  They have told employees that work for me that, "YOUR DEADBEAT BOSS OWES US MONEY HAVE HIM CALL US BACK".  It has caused endless embarrassment and humiliation.  I have even undergone a health heart stress test due to this causing me chest pains. 

The latest paperwork I received was a "Draft" of the complaint In The Circuit Court Of Cook County, Il.  Saying they will sue me.  Apparently, the New York Attorney General has sued them and they stopped using New York Courts.

I wish I had never heard of Lease Finance Group.

RUN FROM THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE CROOKS ALL THE WAY FROM THE SALESMEN TO THE TOP MANAGEMENT

 All one has to do is read the first part of your complaint here to figure this out. ALL those terms and conditions would have been listed on the CONTRACT which YOU agreed to. They didn't just suddenly "appear" afterward! YOU signed this contract WITHOUT even reading it! YOU agreed to those exact terms and conditions WITHOUT having the COMMON SENSE to READ what YOU were agreeing to! What is wrong with you people??? YOU agreed to everything you stated. That's not their problem! YOU failed to even READ what you were agreeing to! How dumb is THAT? No, I don't work for them.
