I recently got ripped off by first leasing data company also. I sold my business and paid the $500 early termination fee (even though, at the time, the sale person told me it is $250). I decided to move on so I paid the $500 fee and the representative told me to contact First Leasing Data to send the equipment back. I contacted them and they told me to pay extra $700-$1200 for the equipment which I have never heard of (not by sale person NOR on the contract).
I called them several times after I got their voice msgs on my machine and each time,no one picked up the phone. Toward the end, I received a letter from the collection agency telling me I have to pay roughly $1200 for the machine.
I am very very pissed off since I DON'T have a contract with them and I already paid $500 early termination fee. This is RIDICULOUS and definitely not the way a business should run. Please contact me if you can help me.
Call First Data Global Leasing (FDGL) and demand a copy of your signed lease agreement. If they can't provide one, they cannot legally enforce the lease.
