I closed the bank account that was being automatically debited so they couldn't get their money. The sent me a few legal letters and that has been it. I didn't reply. I check my credit scores and now cannot find the amount on my credit anymore.
The police told me not to pay them anything and that is why I closed the account. The Harveys are nowhere to be found and rent the house they claim as their address, so they covered themselves in fijling a mechanic's lien.
Good luck, let me know what you find.

Guys:
Same story here. Our business got nailed by these two scum bags in November of 2010. Today I filed complaints with the attorney general in PA and MI hoping something will get done. I contacted the local media at KDKA to try to run a story. We are on the same end with an attorney now threatening to sue us and take us to court.
Let me know if anything else happened with either of you guys and what area you were in. Our local police department didn't issue a warrant for either one of these guys after they walked into the business and stole the ATM machine to never be heard of again.
Sadly, the business account wasn't closed out until recently so we got screwed for 20+ months of the monthly fee being withdrawn when there was NO ATM machine on the property.
Any help would be appreciated.

1st American Leasing should not have accepted the lease for you from Mr. Harvey based on what they told me. They explained that they now do a background check on their vendors and are more careful in selecting vendors. So if your lease was after January 2011, they knew about Mr. Harvey because of me and knew his background. As for me, they just put it on my credit, i will work around that, and never got a lawyer after me although they did send me a few letters saying they would. I closed the bank account from which the lease money was being debited, thus the mark against my credit. But I don't care. I had the Michigan Attorney's General Office look into it but they did nothing,although I do think you should file a complaint. Maybe another one will show them a pattern. Good luck. I also filed a police report against Mr. Harvey for theft of the ATM, because basically that is what it was. Again, good luck and don't let them bother you.

I too have been scamed by these people. Although, the brother, Gary Harvey got me. Same story same lines. The only thing I did was I kept the atm. They tried to come and take it but they never had taken me off the lease. I've had the machine since Oct. 2010. 1st american leasing will do nothing to help. they pretty much told me anyone can sell their leases. And its not their problem. They will not call these people(rhino systems, Kevin and Gary Harvey) and if you stop paying them they instantly report you to creditors.
So if you find anything out please let me know. I quit trying after a year of nothing. The news was going to do a story about it but I guess not enough interest.
I agree with you these people are criminals and so is 1st american leasing. Someone needs to put these people away.
