Claimant says: "On 10/10/08 I signed a merchant contract for credit card processing (my business is a Fantastic Sams Hair Salon located in Port Charlotte, FL) with BankCardDepot, 612 Wheelers Farms Rd. Milford, CT 06461 #203-882-8597. The account rep., Sr. Advisor, Michael Filzinger (#239-896-0257) had me sign an equipment lease contract for the use of a Hypercom T7P stand alone credit card machine, with LSI(Lease Source, Inc. 515 Broad Hollow Rd. Melville, NY 11747. On 10/21/08 Mr. Filzenger brought the cc machine into the salon to set me up for processing. Before he started he brought to my attention that because my operating system was compatiable to process by PC Charge it would be a more efficient and cost effective way of processing (I have proof that PC Charge was set-up that day) I agreed. The stand alone machine was never used, Mr. Filzenger took it back with him, however, Mr. Filzenger never cancelled the contract, as promised, or returned the machine to LSI as promised. On 10/28/08 I received a letter from LSI stating that they assigned all of its interest in my lease for credit card processing equipment to Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. 132 West 31st Street 14th Fl., New York, NY 10001-3405 (866-781-0440) (please not that Northern Leasing has an alternate address of 515 Broad Hollow Rd., Melville, NY 11747-same address as LSI as mentioned above). LSI included a copy of my lease agreement , however, the copy is different from my copy. My copy lists no serial # for a HypercomT7P, their copy shows #1385666013, also the Dealer's Bill of Sale section was not completed on my copy , theirs shows Seller: First Card Processing, Dtd. 10/10/08, By: M. Filzenger Title: President. In April of 2009 BankCardDepot became EVO Merchant Services 515 Broad Hollow Rd. Melville, NY 11747 (same address as LS & Northern Leasing Systems, Inc.). All phone calls and voice messages left for Mr. Filzenger have gone unanswered. The office number (239-471-2206)has been disconnected. When inquiring with EVO Merchant Services (800-705-2559) I am told he is out of the office and no one there knows anything, I have to speak with him directly. When inquiring with Northern Leasing I am told not their problem I cannot get out of the lease unless I return the machine (which I never had) and pay major buy out fees. We are now being harrassed daily at our home and at our business by Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. They have threatened to ruin our excellent credit history if payment of lease fees is not made immediateley.
It has come to our attention that on April 23, 2012 the New York Attorney General ruled that Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. has been found guilty of fraud. We have filed complaints with NY BBB however they had to close our claim as they received no response from Northern Leasing. The NY BBB has received 900+ complaints against this company. Those are in addition to the hundreds of complaints we found on various Scam/RipOff websites. Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. also has a Class Action Law Suit pending.
We are requesting that said lease be cancelled immediateley, and that we be reimbursed for all fees paid to date (over $2,200.00). And finally that Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. get in touch with Michael Filzenger #239-896-0257, 1634 S.E. 47th Street #17, Cape Coral, FL for the return of the HypercomT7P.*” ...Show less »
