Luis Arce Brittney Caylor Arce The Costa Group Forged Signatures Davidson North Carolina

When I met Mr. Acre, he came in promising the world.  Zero fees, a free terminal, free paper, free transfer fees, paid cancelation fees of current processor and the lowest rates possible, plus handing out $200 for every referral.

After almost an hour of discussion and Mr. Acre insisting all this was true and that there is no contract.  I figured with no contract, what harm can come.  I gave him some information and signed a few forms agreeing to allow the Costa Group to process my credit cards.  Mr. Acre took the forms with him showing me that he still had to fill out some other information back at the office.  (I should have made copies at that point, but I am too trusting).

Several days later, I get a credit alert saying that Lease Finance Group, LLC has run my credit.  After calling Mr. Acre and text messages, he continued to tell me that they are just running my credit for my “free” terminal.  A few weeks later, Lease Finance Group sends me a copy of a signed 4 Year “Non Cancelable Lease” with my name and initials all over it.  I texted Mr. Acre and demanded copies of all paperwork.  When I got them I saw 5 pages I’d never seen before and the forms I had signed, now had different signatures and amounts and, were signed by his wife with a date 3 days before I even met him.  

Mr. Arce and his wife have done this to over a dozen business in NC and if you are one of them, I encourage you to call your local police and the Attorney Generals office.  You may also contact me for any information.
