Northern Leasing Systems Sleazy Scam Artists, Fraudulent, negligence NONCANCEBLE LEASE. Lies, threatening letter. ripoff New York New York
I have read a lot of reports on here and now I know I'm not alone. I started this so called New Merchant Services in march 2005, which myself and hundreds of other people thought this would be a great way to make a residual income. It looked legit and went for it. My so called trainer, Esther Shuba, which supposedly is a business consultant was very mild mannered, soft spoken and appeared to care about helping you succeed in the business.
Things began to change when I would need assistance or questions I may have. She would get snappy and moody and would say,I'm tired of all my crazy clients asking me dumb questions all the time. So she turned me over to different trainers, then finally her husband mike Shuba. I started noticing more charges coming out of my bank account.
The $69.00 a month was turning into over $100.00 a month. Out of nowhere there were Visa, discovery, amex charges on my statements. I would call Mike and Esther about this matter, all i would get was voicemails. And i sent over 20 emails, NO RESPONSES AT ALL!! I simply wanted out of this lease! But could not get in touch with anyone! They even blocked my email addresses. Great People huh?
So I changed my bank account so I would stop getting these charges on my checking acct.I took care of this last August. Never heard from anyone from Northern Leasing for 8 months.
As of March 4 2006. I pick up my mail, and received a threatening letter from Northern Leasing Systems stating that I have an outstanding balance of 3,703! for a machine not even worth $100.00 The threat says:
Unless you promptly make arrangements with us to pay your outstanding balance, a licensed process server, constable or sheriff in your area will serve a summons and complaint upon you.
What is bizarre is that Esther Shuba mentioned that I could break the lease at any time with only a 100.00 penalty fee. I asked her before I signed that paper, may i cancel this contract at anytime? She said yes! She said it was a month to month lease, not 48. She mentioned the 48 months meaning, in 48 months if you still want to be in the business, you'll have to renew your contract.
Why all of a sudden after 8 months did I receive this letter? Hmmm. I need all the feedback I can get. What do I do next? What kind of action should I take?
I'm willing to put these greedy monsters out of business, but I can't do it alone. I will need alot of support. This just isn't right, frauding innocent people. If we could all work as a team here, we can win. Please feel free to contact me anytime regarding this nightmarish situation, and what steps I, or we should pursue on taking.

I will advise anyone not to work for this company! Or is it
really a company?? I started this a year ago March 2005. And it was nothing but a nightmare. I realize after 2 months,I was in a trap. I was working online doing auctions for dropshipping companies, overstock.com was one we were linked too.
My so called trainer, Esther Shuba. A Business consultant for a big wig by the name of JP Lipski, or does he even exist. I signed a contract agreement that was supposed to be a month to month lease for $69.00, which in my checking acct,I was noticing other fees were added, such as: american express, discovery,and visa. So my fees were over $100.00, way over than what they told me. Esther never mentioned about being locked in a 48 month lease. She said I could cancel anytime. I called and emailed her and her husband Mike Shuba numerous times. Never heard back. LIARS!!
I changed my checking acct.so no more fees would be withdrawn out of my checking acct. I took care of that last August.
Here it is 8 months later, on March 4 2006. A threatening letter stating i have a balance over 3700 dollars. It says DEMAND FOR PAYMENT! Who says I have to pay a SCAM ARTIST!! The letter states that if i don't pay, they would serve a summons and complaint upon me. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! Where on God's green earth can they get away with this??
It's time to take action here! I can't do it alone, but with alot of people, they will not win. Please feel free to contact me and give me feedback on how to handle this situation.
