Lease Finance Group A Division Of CIT ripoff Chicago Illinois
When one of the represenative for Lease Finance came and talked to me about a credit card machine, he told me that the contact was for 48 month paying $69.95 a month.Then he showed me how to swipe a credit card using his card but what he didn't do was delete the transaction and our bank was charged for it and we didn't have enough in the bank to cover it, and so it came back insufficient fund.
Then I got a call from billing at Lease Finance saying that I owe them money and I would have to pay the amount or I will not be able to use the machine until I do.
I told her what had happened and she said that I still had to pay it. So I told her that if I couldn't use the machine and it wasn't my fault that the represenative didn't do it correctly then they need to pick it up. So I call Rodney the man who brought me the machine and told him what he had did and what the lady told me.
So told him to come and pick up the machine I had called him three to four time to do so. He finally sent someone out in March of 2003 and picked it up the machine, but Lease Finance told me that they haven't received it and I still had to pay them since the contract was for 48 months.
Now they keep calling bothering me on the phone and they told me that I had made 14 payments on the machine which is a lie because we had to close our banking account because they were taking money out two times a months and we had to closed it because our checks for our other bills were coming back insufficient funds.
They even had the nerves to tell me that the account didn't close until March of this year,again a lie we had no choice but to closed the account not even a month and half after we had signed up with them which was in January of 2003.
I asked them to Fax me a copy of the payments that they claim I had paid them, at first they wouldn't send them now I have received them a few days ago and all of it is wrong how can you get money from an account that has been closed.
I'm very mad for being scamed like this and to think that they are getting away with it.This has to be stop before others are hurt by them like I was.

Hi, You may want to sent 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, if possible, please scan & send copies of these documents to me at [DELETED]. 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], 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
