Hello Fellow Entreprenuer, Just a response regarding filing to Illinois court. We are all located in different states and are tricked by the same company to sign a lease for an equipment that we do not need. I reviewed the contract and State agencies, unfortunately, may not be able to help. The contract complies to UCC code. There is one solution that I can propose, which I am currently working on now. FTC may be able to enforce a settlement against Ladco Leasing, GlobalTech Leasing, and USA Card Services, just as they did with Leasecomm. I will provide you a copy of the case upon request. I am drafting a letter to FTC regarding this matter. However, like any other government agencies, they will not take action unless there are sufficient evidence indicating that the Companies did commit fraud, using false advertising, etc. I still have a copy of the sales presentation that the Sales Representative from USA Card Services sent to me by fax. If you have one, do not lose it. So...if you have a copy of that sales presentation, please send me a copy and a signed letter highlighting your case. You can fax the form to 800-409-2450 or 646-290-6402. I will include it with my request to FTC. Dont forget to file your complaint to BBB in the Companies local areas. It might help us with this case. Good Luck to all. FYI - I am not a lawyer...I cannot guarantee results. I can only hope for the best. Thank you for your cooperation.

Mary, the fact is that USA Card Services is a scam company. I was given training CD's that all the USA employees use by a former employee of USA Card Services and they are full of instructions on how to scam people. You can hear the CEO of the company tell his sales people that he only wants "dumb" customers and not "smart" ones because they are easier to manipulate. From the description I have been given, they are a "boiler room" operation merely there to con people into getting these leases and then suggest that you set up some pathetic website to sell Drop-Shipped products. Do you have any idea how saturated the market is in that regard? You are holding out hope for something that is simply an illusion.

Bruce, I work at Start Up Essentials and it is a great company to work for. I love it. I have recently come to this site and am hurt at the amount of dissappointed customers. I too have just recenty signed up for the business and I have yet to get started because of my schedule. You, so far are the only report I have found that has actually has seemed to have made a decent attempt at doing the business. Everyone else gets the laptop, finds out that they have signed a 48 mo. non-canceble lease and get pissed off and never even try to start the business. It is clearly stated by the business analysts and you can clearly see on the online application that this is a non-canceble lease. It is stated in the first one of the fifteen clauses that you have to initial on the online app. The BA's are required to read through all the clauses on the lease as well. So everyone who says they are shocked by the NC Lease part, I'm not buying it. I am going to give this business a fair shot and I am a little discouraged and frightened by your comments because they sound like legitimate complaints. If there is any advise or warnings you can provide me, I would much appreciate it. Until I experience legitimate failure at this business I have total faith that my company is only trying to help people. You can email me at [email protected]. Thanks Bruce, Mary
