Paul,
On the internet in an open forum or complaint website, you complain someone did you wrong in some way, but you openly admit that you made mistakes which is your fault. You clearly stated, "I had a family emergency and not pay attention and have to go India."
Anyone can understand family emergencies come up, but there are millions of businesses in America that have the same or similiar situations. But this in no way gives you a free pass to neglect your legal, contractual, and financial obligations you are legally responsible for with a business that you choose to engage in a contract agreement with.
You made a big mistake by saying "you did not pay attention." If anyone who is a business owner who is a smart business owner, they will make good decisions, keep track of their business, and keep track of their finances. But you admit you made mistakes.
And you breached your contract by not paying, and then changing your bank accounts. You are the one that has done wrong.
It is you that signed and legally obligated you and your company to the contracts and the equipment leases, it was you that signed the lease for the equipment, it was you that accepted all the equipment at your store, it was you that got on the phone with the lease company and verified and verbally accepted the terms of the lease, and it was probably you that did NOT read all the fine print of the contract and lease contract which all clearly states the monthly fees and charges and the lease contract says in big bold print "NON-CANCELLABLE LEASE!"
The only person that did something wrong and breached the contract was you who decided to change your bank accounts. You are legally responsible for the contracts and paying the monthly payments. They have every right to use attorneys or collection agencies to force you to honor your contract you signed and make the payments.
