I leased a 1997 Ford Expedition from this car dealership. I signed a contract stating that I am responsible for any miles over my 1250 monthly allowance at the rate of one cent per mile. When my lease was up the Bank (Key Bank) inform me that the contract they had stated that I was responsible for fifteen cents per mile. I had them to fax me a copy of the contract they had in their possession. When I received this contract I noticed immediately that the car dealership forged my signature to this contract and they placed my initials in the blocks where they change the original contract from one cent per mile to fifteen cents per mile.

According to my original contract I should had to pay around $650.00 dollars to end the contract,however, this fradulent contracts states I have to pay around $6500.00 dollars to get out this lease. I spoke to the owner about this unfortunate situation,however, he feels his company did no wrong. I even sent him a certified letter which he never responded but he received. I tried to settle with him and he refused now I hope I can find an attorney to help me sue him and expose this crooked company. I truly feel there are other customers that this company have taken advantage of.

You Bet Its Unfortunate ..its a FLEECE, not a lease

Why on earth would you even consider such a STUPID thing as a CAR FLEECE??? Yes, its a FLEECE, not a lease and YOU are the one who gets sheared. No matter how great the dealer makes it sound, CAR FLEECING is a putrid deal for you and a fantastic, great deal for the dealer! Why? Because the dealer makes tons more profit. Profit isn't illegal but if it comes from charging a sucker tons of fees and surcharges, that's FRAUD. You signed a deal where you were to watch your miles like a hawk. How smart was that? They apparently defrauded you or at least attempted to, as per your description. CAR FLEECING has so much more potential for fraud and deception, that's why the slimeballs of the business will do anything to get a poor sucker into a CAR FLEECE!

LESSON TO BE LEARNED: Stay away from any CAR FLEECE! No matter how great they make the deal sound, the bottom line is still the same...
Car Leasing is CAR FLEECING!!!

Be well,
