LEASE FINANCE GROUP, LLC - GLOBAL LEASING AND FINANCING - NEWCOURT FINANCIAL USA. INC. - NEWCOURT LEASING CORP.- DON'T LET THEM SCAM YOU TOO - NONCANCELABLE, OPRESSIVE, OVERPRICED LEASE CHICAGO Illinois

We also were ripped off by LFG along with several companies in our area.  We cancelled our merchant service when we were not seeing the savings that the saleman told us we would.  The salesman was fast talking and told us everything we wanted to hear; we now see he was a very seasoned scam artist.  He even told us there was an $150.00 application fee, but if we made the check out to him he could reduce it to $75.00, we should of backed out right then.  Before signing the lease we asked if we could get out of it and he told us it was pretty easy.  We never saw the NON-CANCELLABLE LEASE statement at the top of the page.  We were also told that he needed to take the lease and it would be mailed to us at a later date.

Before cancelling we paid LHG $1819.87 and they now want an additional $5,879.58.  We returned the credit card machine long ago. 

We been summons to appear in civil court in NYC and we live in FL.  This seems like a scare tacket, but we have hired a New York lawyer and plan to contact the Attorney General and the BBB.     

Let us know of any updates.

LFG agreed to let me out of the lease. Let me tell you what I did and hopefully it can help you too. I utilized multiple tools and I think the combination was helpful. I will list them. I believe the complaints with the attorney generals office and BBB office filed in Chicago, IL. did the most to influence LFG. Additionally, I hired an attorney and was prepared to sue LFG. First I filed complaints with the Attorney Generals office in three states, AZ, IL, & NY. Lisa Madigan's office in IL seemed to help the most. AZ only acknowledged that they received my complaint but did nothing. NY told me they couldn't help me and to hire an attorney or file a complaint with the BBB. I hired an attorney and was fully prepared to sue and spend more than what it would cost to pay the lease. The attny let LFG know we were preparing to sue and LFG agreed to a reduction of the lease amount by about $2,000. (I would not have accepted that proposal.) Then we filed the complaint with the BBB in Chicago IL. I will probalbly never know for sure but it appears that the complaint with the BBB in Chicago seemed to be the biggest single factor influencing LFG. I believe the other things were only contributing factors to help influence LFG. In summary, my advise to you would be to file complaints in IL & NY with the Attny General followed by a complaint with the BBB in Chicago IL.
I also wish to thank LFG for stepping up to the plate and for whatever reason doing what was right - letting me out of this lease. Keep in mind however that the lease was acquired by a second party ICON Payment Solutions through what I believe are dishonest and deceptive practices.
