UNIVERSAL MERCHANT SERVICES - JOSEF TOTH ripoff WESTLAND Michigan
In May of 2003, my company, International Health Spa, Inc., purchased / leased, a Triton 9100 Cash Machine from Josef Toth of Universal Merchant Services. I entered into a Lease Agreement with Lease Consultants Corporation,, with a monthly payment. In October of 2003, we suffered a complete loss of the business, due to a fire.
I contacted Josef Toth, informed him of the fire, he assured me he could "re-locate & put it to work for me", after a quick "clean up of the smoke stained exterior". The unit was in working order at the time that Mr. Toth, picked it up from my place of residence.
Then nothing. Mr. Toth vanished!! It took me months during 2004, to track him down, find my unit, (susposedly in Florida), up & running & me not receiving any money!!!
Finally, early this year, 2005, I was able to reach a legitimate business associate of Mr. Toth's & he located my unit here in Michigan, & not in Florida. I don't know what Mr. Toth's intention was or why he would not return my unit just let me say that today is the 16th of June, 2005, & my unit now sits in my garage in several "BOXES".
HE DELIBERATELY TORE APART & PAINTED ALL COMPUTOR CONTACT'S INSIDE THE MACHINE THEREFORE DESTROYING IT!!! IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED.
Mr. Toth is an unethical businessman & another ATM company ripoff artist. The police say we have no recourse, not a crime, a civil matter only!!!
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON OR COMPANY!!

I am the owner of Universal Merchant Services, Inc. And in 2004 leases a triton 9100 to International Health Spa, Inc in Inkster , Mi.
Unfortuantely International Health Spa had a loss due to a fire and had insurance. The machine was damamged and not in working order. I made arrangements with Stephany the owner of the business to contact Great Lakes ATM. Great Lakes ATM picked up the machine and was instructed to recondition the machine, they were going to help her repair the machine.
I am a third party that sold equipment to her through a thirs party leassing company, they required insurance on the machine and would have been covered under the fire insurance, however International Health Spa never had the insurance that they promised the leasing company.
Furthermore, Stehpany tried getting out of her obligations to the leasing company. Her machine was returned her by Great Lakes ATM. I have no clue why I am even mentioned in this matter, really has nothing to do with us, only her and the leasing comany.
