While working under contract for Landmark Vehicle Leasing the President, Mark Emin, re-leased the BMW I was leasing from Landmark Vehicle Leasing without my prior knowledge or informed consent. He basically pocketed over $5,000 in profit on my original lease by securitizing it and then terminated my lease, buying out the finance contract using my $6,375 of down payment I had made on the lease.

He then re-leased the car to another customer and pocketed $7,000 in profit on that lease by re-securitizing the same car with the same finance source, Corpfinance International Limited, in addition to the over $10,000 in upfront fees and a security deposit Landmark Vehicle Leasing got from the new customer. Unbelievable!!

I sued Landmark Vehicle Leasing and recently (after over 2 years of them dragging it out) have been awarded a judgment against Landmark Vehicle Leasing from the Superior Court of Justice, Richmond Hill Small Claims Court in the amount of $9,662.23 plus costs of $150 and pre-judgment interest of $648.56 - a total of $10,460.79.

In the judgment, the Judge out rightly rejected the defense's arguments on all matters including the re-leasing of my vehicle. In fact, referring to the testimony of Landmark Vehicle Leasing's President Mark Emin, The judgment states, "In all aspects where the testimony of the parties may differ, the court prefers the evidence of the Plaintiff in preference to that of the witness for the Defendant. The court finds the testimony of that witness unreliable, evasive and unacceptable on an issue of credibility."

Since receiving the judgment, dated September 9, 2005, I have made several attempts to contact Landmark Vehicle Leasing's legal agent, Stuart Raskin, as a courtesy to arrange settlement and avoid enforcement proceedings, garnishments and seizure and sale writs. Mr. Raskin, formerly with Landmark and now with Raskin and Associates, has not returned any of my calls and it would seem that Landmark Vehicle Leasing has no intention of voluntarily honoring the judgment.

The post-judgment interest clock is ticking at 4%.

BEWARE when dealing with Landmark Vehicle Leasing. If this is the kind of treatment Landmark Vehicle Leasing gives to its employees and business associates, just imagine what they do to their regular customers. I have some interesting stories and would be interested in hearing from anyone who has had unusual or unethical dealings with Landmark Vehicle Leasing.

A copy of the full judgment is available in PDF format.

I'm in an entirely different situation where I need to get in contact with a good lawyer.  I've had a problem with Landmark as well.  I'm out probably about 10, 000$ and I need to speak with a lawyer for some legal advise.  Landmark is a terrible company and I think that they should be held accountable for all the people that they have ripped off or wronged.  Me being one of them,  Funny How I started to look them up and they're are all these complaint online about them.  So I guess they must be ripping off all kinds of people.  We'll see how this all turn out but I'm sure this is gonna be a lengthy procedure.  Thanks to all that have shared their stories here.  I will let you know how things turn out.  I need to contact someone who can help and I'm not sure how this works but if you read this and you think you can help me please contact me.  [email protected]  THnx

I have had a successful win against Landmark Leasing in Small claims court.  This year, 2010. 

 

Basically in a nut shell, due to non-disclosure, they tried to secure funds for my vehicle after it was destroyed and fully paid by the insurance company.  When I say ALL funds it is in reference to monies I had previusly paid i.e. deposit or transfer from a previous lease.

They were told to pay but of course they never coughed up a cheque so I garnished their bank account and took what was mine.

I had a good lawyer too.

Robert, 


I too have been cheated by "Landmark Vehicle Leasing" and am gathering information, can you please forward me everything you can. 

What Mark Emit did to me actually differs from all the other complaints on here. I will file a formal report but in a nutshell I had registered a lien against a vehicle that belonged to Landmark. By law only the one who place the lien can remove it but with some shady illegal way Mark found a way to remove the lien on his own, sold the vehicle and refuses to pay me $4000.00

REQUESTING INFORMATION - I TOO HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY LANDMARK VEHICLE LEASING

Robert,

I too have been scammed by Landmark Vehicle Leasing for over 15K. I am currently in the process of settling this matter with Landmark in court. I am gathering as much information as I can on the history of their unethical behaviour. Can you kindly email me the full copy of judgement which you claim to have on PDF format, so I can pass this to my lawyer. It would be much appreciated. Also any information you can give me that maybe useful in court would be of great help as well.

 

Thank you.
