Lease Finance Group

I leased a credit card machine over 15 years ago from a company i believe was global merchant services in brooklyn. I’ve been paying $45.90 per month via ACH thru my bank all of these years. We had to close the business in 2017. none of the phone numbers i had on file worked for the company holding the lease so that i could shut the account down and discard the equipment (imagine a credit card machine from the early 2000s). | I finally had to have my bank put a fraud alert on my bank account to stop the ach debits. within a few weeks i received a bill for the 2 months of missed pays ($91) from lease finance group llc. i tried calling the number on the bill several times and finally got a person on the phone to discuss canceling. i was told it would be canceled, but i would either have to pay the $91 bill or the balance of the lease that was over $300. | i hit the roof and then composed myself in order to figure out how to get the credit card machine returned to stop the insanity. i was told it had to be returned to the address on the bill, lease finance group llc, c/o lease equipment processing center, 419 east main st, suite 102, middletown, ny 10940. i went to my local ups store and both times the store rep filled in the info on her ups computer, the address bumped from 419 to 49 east main st. | Now i’m stuck babysitting ups all day today in the hopes of making sure that the pkg gets delivered to the correct location so i don’t keep getting hit with charges. i called lease finance this morning to confirm the address, and it claimed it was 419 east main st. what absolute despicable insanity. i’ve placed a nys ag complaint this morning and am adding a Yscam complaint now too. i’ve paid over $8000 for this machine and i’m still not done with the harassment. | These people must be shut down and stopped from causing other small businesses this much grief. it’s bad enough to have to shut down after all of these years, but to have been scammed and still be getting scammed is unacceptable.
