In 2001 I was made VP of sales for a small business in Maryland. It was a big title and thats about it. The first client I got wanted to pay the company with a credit card. I went on the web, etc. and put feelers out for information on how to obtain a machine so I could land the client. A couple of days later a woman shows up, machine in hand and says I can get started that day. Fine, I was stupid. At first she wanted the company president to sign for the machine, but he was unavailable or something, can't remember. Do remember that it got down to me signing for the machine and I called the owner of the company and hassled him until he said it was OK for 59$ a month. This woman assured me and him that if there was ever a problem it could be mediated. The first problem was after she left I noticed she had not given me the whole contract, only part of it.
My boss was insisting on having a copy of the whole contract. I called her a half dozen times on her cell and finally she sent me another page of the contract, a copy, that said I had signed as President of the company. But I specifically remember changing the title when she found out the owners were not there, she had already pre-filled it for him to sign at some point, so she changed it to VP but the contract I got from her in the mail says PRESIDENT in big block letters. She finally sent another copy with President scribbled out of it and somebodys initials next to it. (I have no idea where this is now, although I might be able to find it) The second problem was it was always a lot more than 59$ a month that the company got charged, and I was always in trouble for that.. but since the owner heard the rep's promises also, not too much gripeing.
So to make a long story short, the machine stopped working at all a few weeks after we got it.(I see this complaint on every 'Leasecomm is a scam-site' I go now) The woman I got the machine from no longer had the same cell number and no one at Leasecomm could tell me how to get in touch with her. They were also no help whatsoever in helping me try to get the machine fixed or get new equipment, and kept telling me I had to find the original rep who signed me up but I could not find her. So we just stopped the whole credit card thing and clients had to pay with a check. Well I later left that company and it later went out of business anyway. Four years later Leasecomm sues me as the president of this company!!! So they get the judgement and now I have to fill out all this paperwork detailing the past few years of my life...tax returns, everything. If I don't do it they can send a Sherriff out for a "body attachment" and put me in JAIL if I can't make bail. (This is for about a $2000.00 judgement)I filed for Bankruptcy last month before the October deadline, but Leasecomm is not concerned about that. If I go to court or something, don't I have a right to face the original person I dealt with? It's like a bunch of mean voices over the phone now that are going to get $2000 no matter what they have to do.

If you are charged and convicted of fraud, that is a different story. File FTC complaints also. I hope this leaseComm thing was not the only reason you filed BK. Good luck.

We filed bankruptcy before the October deadline too. If you hired an attorney for that you should notify them immediately if Leasecomm is still harassing you because it's a clear violation of the automatic stay in bankruptcy. If you filed a Chapter 7 your debt should be discharged by now and if for some reason you didn't have them as a creditor on your original petition have your attorney add them it's really easy. Technically as soon as you tell them you declared bankruptcy and give them your attorney's name and case number they are not to contact you personally again because you are at the very least represented by counsel. I had their so called judgment against us vacated out of both court systems they had it in because of the FTC's judgment against them but that didn't stop their attorney from trying to threaten me with the same kind of crap. He was barking up the wrong tree and I threatened to have him disbarred. You see, I am a paralegal and know that what he did was an offense worthy of disbarment. They pick and hire only the scummy of the scummiest attorneys. After my letter threatening him he backed off plus in my letter I told him that we were planning on declaring bankruptcy and who our attorney was going to be. If you don't have an attorney, GET ONE! Bankruptcy is something you don't want to do on your own. I am a paralegal but I wouldn't deal with all of that on my own and this is a perfect reason not to. If you need to go into court on an adversary preceding over their harassment you will need a good bankruptcy attorney to help you. Believe me the judge will sanction them for their harassment. Bankruptcy judges don't put up with that kind of crap especially out of a creditor like Leasecomm who has already been sanctioned by the FTC for the same type of behavior. If your debt to them was discharge there is nothing they can do about it especially if your case is closed. Their time to object to it is over. Tell them to bite you and call your attorney. Also, keep close tabs on when the contact you, how they contact you, and what was said if anything. All of that will come handy in court and your attorney will love you for it. They love nothing more than going up against an unscrupulous company like Leasecomm and making them pay big. I hope that helps.
