Hi, 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, 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

I hope that you covered up your SS# on your tax form and bank account numbers on your checks, as well as your driver's license #. If you sent all that info with the numbers showing you have given this company lots of ammunition to do a lot more damage! Nothing may come of it, but there is nothing to stop them from debiting your bank account electronically, among other things. A company that would forge a signature on a contract would probably not think twice about helping itself to a little more. PLEASE, NEVER send this kind of information to anyone. NEVER give anyone this kind of information over the phone unless YOU initiated the call and know 100% for sure whom you are speaking with! Please, call your bank immediately and see what they suggest in the form of damage control. You may need to close your accounts and open new ones to protect yourself. Contact the AG's in Illinois and Georgia to see what advice they can offer.
