BEWARE!!!! THIS COMPANY RIPS OFF HONEST HARD WORKING PEOPLE. My family runs a small business in Los Angeles, California. Some how we got fandangled by this horrid company. Our sales rep from Bank Card Services, Eric, from their head office on 3055 Wilshire Blvd., 3rd Floor Los Angeles, CA 90010 duked us into signing a contract with Bank Card Services. The problem was, we were completely unaware of the "NON-CANCELABLE" lease contract we supposedly signed with this CIT Lease Finace Group.
We were brought to this attention when one of our businesses were sold off, and they were not getting paid. You see, there is a language barrier for my parents, and when I first got the call from CIT, I went into further research. That is when I found out this guy some how got my parents signature forged onto this "NON-CANCELABLE" lease from CIT, and NOT only that, they were happily drafting money out of our bank accounts. To make the matters even worse, we closed our bank account with our prior business, but they somehow got a hold of our other bank account with our other business, and started drafting money with our permission. Is that legal? For both the bank and CIT?
Another thing is, our present business was/is binded to this contract as well. I didnt want my parents to deal with these fraudalent companies, so I switched them to another processor. Little did I know after my investigation, and failed attempts to speak with this company, I realized they were drafting out of our bank account for another business similarily named like our business, and crediting that business. They sent our files to the collections, MAB, who are as bad as CIT, when it comes to 100 calls a day. They never want to transfer calls to their supervisors, and rather they hang up as soon as they hear supervisor out of my mouth.
What am I to do? I tried talking to Bank Card Services, but they point fingers to others in their company, and CIT is non cooperative. All we want to do is clear our records. We are tired of hearing, it doesnt matter if the business is sold, burnt, or torn down you are responsible for the payments. I think that is their company slogan...
I have filed FTC, BBB reports, but their is no response. I am completely out of ideas on this one.
Is there a way we can start up a petition to get this company investigated on, it is to the point where I am kind of scared for my life from this company. I am scared of their ability to collect information with out any of our family members giving it to them i.e my daughter and son's place of work, cell phones, bank account information, and addresses. It is really scary.
