Corporate Advocacy Program™
On August 11, 2011 a representative from Payment Systems came to my store to offer a credit processing service, assuring a reduction in cost by one half the amount Wells Fargo Bank charges. The agreement was a flat rate of $99.00 per month on all ATM card purchases if I accepted to sign up for a 48-month lease agreement. After I signed up with them and after receiving the first and second statement, I noticed that the overall charges were higher than the previous processing company (Wells Fargo), contrary to the agreement.
I tried to contact the representative and/or someone in the company to explain the charges and to provide me with online access to my account with them. After many attempts, I was informed that they will email me with a password to get access online to check my statement. This never happened and they never answered my calls after that to assist me or answer my inquiries.
On January 10, 2012 I faxed a cancelation notice and a request to send back their equipment. Then I tried several times to contact them to assure delivery of the fax to no avail. On January 24, 2012 I talked with Lilia from the Los Angeles office and she asked me to resend the cancelation notice again, and informed me she would get back to me once she received it. She never contacted me to let me know whether or not she received the fax, or with the outcome of her decision.
I have received several bills from Lease Finance Group to pay the monthly charge of $99.00 plus late and finance charges for non-payment. I have received many calls and threats to pay the full lease amount which I forwarded to Parker* Stanbury attorneys at Law. I explained the events and the attorney sent a letter to void the lease due to misrepresentation and fraud. Lease Finance group never stopped harassing me on the phone at all hours, which drove me to offer a settlement, and to clear my credit report from the negative remarks they reported. Another attorney contacted the Lease Finance Group, account manager to offer settlement instead of threatening to sue me in New York, in addition to the costs associated with fighting a law suit. The account manager insisted on collecting the full amount including finance charges under threat to file a case in New York forcing me to pay.
My latest Attorney advised me to submit a complaint to the Attorney General of the State of California after collecting information in regards to Lease Finance Groups negative dealings in California and Arizona.
I am looking forward to fighting this companys unfair and fraudulent representation, in addition to voiding the agreement based on their misrepresentation.

I have also been affected by payment Systems. Today I got another 1000.00 taken from my account for fees. I have tried everything possible to reason with this company, they are evil and need to be stopped. Any one know of a law suit that is active?

Recently settled with these crooks, here's some info

Hi, to you who has been sued in NY court, I spoke to the NY AG handling the case against LFG and all the various shell companies that they operate under. You do NOT have to appear in court physically, she told me you CAN APPEAR BY PHONE. You will need to contact the court clerk to set it up. You should write a letter to the NY AG detailing your situation and also giving your phone number.
File a complaint with the FTC, the FBI, and your state's consumer fraud unit. My client was about to get sued in NY court (we are in CA) and we basically paid to have them postpone so I could attempt to settle it. We offered a very generous settlement like 50 cents on the dollar of what we owed, but there was negotiating. Ultimately, my client paid out a sum of money in exchange for a Release. The good news is that in this Release that you will get you are not waiving any of your rights to sue them, become compensated as part of a class action and so forth.. So, if you pay to get them off yoru back and get your credit back, consider it hopefully something you will recoup.
I have talked to several government contacts at places like the FTC and they said when you file your complaints do it in a way that sets forth proof they LFG have committed a crime of fraud or whatever. Google the elements of the crime and set it forth. ALSO if there are enough of these situations, you should start looking for law firms who will take this case as a class action on a contingency basis against these crooks. There just needs to be someone to organize everyone against them. ALSO the case in NY court is limited to issues of accounts being debited after the contract had already expired. SO the more letters they get of additional fraud, the more likely they can go after them for MORE
Write your letters to the NY AG. Consider Settling your claim with LFG, get the release, and then go after them. That is what I advise. Good luck

In my way to fight LFG
AUTHOR: Steve - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 06, 2013
Im in my way to fight these frauds. Got my credit report screwed by them. Got it reported to CA, IL and NY general attorneys but wouldt help much. CA GA said they wouldnt resolve business business issue, IL n NY attorney couldnt help much except keep it for record. FTC logged it in and no answer from then.
I have the trial day in April 2013 and I have to travel all the way to NY from CA to defense myself. However, I m filing in a small claim court a counter claim in California trying to get these frauds to California for the damage they had done to my Credit report. I dont hope to win but try to get them to go all the way to California to defense themself. The same tacti that they used against us. Let s see how it turns out. I ll update.
Any suggestion will be appreciate. We need to find a way to help everyone to fight these crooks off.

AUTHOR: CWW - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 08, 2012
In April 2012 the NY Attorney General filed a law suit against a company called Northern Leasing and it's affiliates including Lease Finance Group LLC. Call this number 1-800-771-7755 it is the NY Fraud Hotline, but refer to these groups and they will forward you to someone working on the case. Additionally, there are at least 2 class action law suits happening now. LMK if you learn more.

I am also a victim of this company
AUTHOR: Erik T. - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 08, 2012
I have made several attempts to cancel my account with this company as well without any success. I sent a cancellation letter in May and the account is still active. I filed a complaint with the California attorney general and I got a letter back stating that this is something they don't handle. I also spoke to Lilia and she told me that my cancellation letter is being reviewed but yet six months later nothing has been done and my account is still being debited. I don't know what to do anymore at this point. I spoke to an attorney and he told me that this was something that would be handled in small claims so I would have to take care of it myself and fight them back with the negative background the company has racked up. He said to cause them problems and expose them by calling a local t.v. network, the BBB, the Federal Trade Commission, and the California AG. If you find and successful way of dealing with this company please post it up, I would greatly appreciate it.

I noticed that you are talking to an attorney and filing a complaint with the Attorney General's office. I would love to be in touch with you as my client is in a similar situation and we are looking to see who else is out there dealing with this horrible company in California.
Thank you
