Hi Tracie, You may want to send a complaint to FTC (Federal Trade Commission). I did and received a response saying they don't do individual cases. However, if they log enough complaints, they will start an investigation and possibly legal action. So here is the link: https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01 to the FTC complaint form. I've told many people about it, so you may want to do the same. Make sure you give specific examples or even let them know you have documentation of deceptive or misleading information. Also, you may want to file with your State Attorney General. I haven't given up, but it does take a while for the squeaky wheel to be heard. As far as CIT, here is their main site: http://www.cit.com/main/default.htm . Also, within this site, I found e-mails and have sent copies of my rip-off report, including a copy of all the complaints listed under Lease Finance Group in the Rip-Off site. Here are some e-mail addresses, you may want to send your concerns to: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Just to let them know what you think of their deceptive practices.... I did get the Rip-Off Report Do-It-Yourself Guide and it did have some good steps to follow. However, it was a little lacking in the cyberspace rip-offs. I've been paralleling the thoughts or ideas in this Guide to try to apply them to the internet. For example, instead of sending faxes, send e-mails. So every web site I am interested in, I look for e-mails and make up a group listing & start bombarding them with e-mails and include my rip-off report, plus any other rip-off concerns. I hope this helps. Thanks, G for California

We've all heard all the stories about CIT and their leases. I've posted about how the CC companies bear some part of the blame because they are the ones who sell the paper to CIT. The one CC company that I have encountered that has been the worst of the worst is.... TRANSACTION MERCHANT SERVICES. Whenever I posted about CIT's part of the blame and the CC company's part of the blame I always had these folks in mind. In 10 yrs of business, I have never encountered such a ripoff company. Luckily I caught it before doing business with them. Talk about fine print. They are the poster child for what everyone is posting about. This is the one company that, if they call me I hang up on them without a word. So, a word to the wise, be very careful doing ANY business with this company. Good luck.
