SKS Associates Northern Leasing Unauthorized debit on an account that was closed 8 years ago! New York, New York
I just found a charge from SKS Associates for over $150 on my account today. I called the company and they claim that I owe them back taxes from a lease that I signed in 1999 and ended in 2003. That was 8 years ago! As I believe this lease was to offset a one time charge I had with Authorize.net. There was never any equipment, just a web page login.
I talked to the company and after much yelling I got transferred three times. I was told they would refund my monies but that they would have to report me to the credit bureaus. I said sent me my money. They told me they would send it to processing and I would have to wait 7-15 days. I said that was unacceptable and that they could either fax me a copy of the check, give me a credit card number to process, or overnight me a check.
I've gone ahead and am having my bank send over the paperwork. This scam is no different than any other theft. Stealing pennies and hoping no one notices!
