Hi Andrew, Yes we have been ripped off. The only difference was, our incomplete paper given by an independant representative was pink. Plus the Representative said we could cancel at anytime. Do you think anyone in there right mind would sign a lease that said NON-CANCELLABLE on it????? I am currently e-mailing back and forth with a CIT representative claiming that the whole contract was fraudulent. Would you believe, besides Notorized information, they even want a copy of my Driver's License. Just what they need, more personal information!! If not getting my bank account information was not enough. In this response, I am including what I have included in all the Lease Finance Group Ripoffs. I hope you will consider this information. In addition If you know of any other one who has been duped by CIT, you might want to tell them to do the same. Plus, someone from Tennesse might see your report. So here it is, and in advance, many thanks-- 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], 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
