Last spring I followed up on a TV ad I'd seen.

I paid the money and got the info packet.After doing what I thought was due diligence I took a leap of faith and bought a total of 8 machines last summer.

The locator found me locations and rates I don't think I could have gotten on my own (along with the price, that's why I bought 8). With their help I got all the requirements in place. Then I waited (not idly) until late fall to get my first machine. I had machines #2 & #3 by year end, but one of those had a non-working CD dispenser.

In November I canceled unit #8 and we agreed to a monthly payback arrangement (even though I had to pay 100% up front on the original purchases). I have seen only 3 payments so far. After a couple of frustrating conversations I gave notice to cancel units #7 & #6. At the first of this year I was delivered unit #4 with NO CD dispenser, with the explanation that they thought it would be better to have something rather than nothing. I immediately canceled unit #5. As it stands, they owe me 2 functioning CD dispensers, installed, and the price of 4 machines minus 3 payments.

After a disappointing conversation with Jack Teitelbaum I filed a complaint with the SE Florida BBB. NID's response was predictable and not satisfactory. The BBB just informed me (5/31/06) that NID did not reply to my rebuttal and that I may want to file a complaint with the FTC and Florida State Attorney General. I am doing both.

Over the last couple of days the National Imaging Distributors website, has gone off-line and I was notified that Sunrise Technical Group is no longer honoring NID's service plan!

I have contacted a FL-based lawyer but I don't know if I can come up with the retainer fees for them to start legal proceedings. In the brief conversation I have had with the attorney he feels I have a good chance of winning, but a poor chance of collecting. Also, with other factors considered, NID as a legitimate business or a fraud may come into play. Comments requested and stay tuned.Thank you for letting me vent and "Buyer Beware"

After hitting the submit button to my Rip-off Report yesterday the mail came. I got a generic "Dear John" letter from N.I.D. stating, and I quote, "To Whom It May Concern: RE:National Imaging Distributors National Imaging Distributors, Corp. is sad to announce that we will no longer be open for business. Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances beyond our control we will no longer be able to stay in business." As I know, they owe me a lot of money, and as I understand, they owe other people the parts and service to get their machines fully operational. These people need to be held accountable and not just say, "Oops, Sorry, Good Bye". Thank you.
