Just like so many other posts here, SKS took money from my bank account in the amount of $97.51.  I called SKS and was told the same story they told others:  They acquired Northern Leasing then did an audit and found Northern didn't collect property taxes from me or under-billed me and therefore they say because they have a signed lease that gives them the right to collect this money by taking directly from my bank account.   

My lease with Northern Leasing ended paid in full in 2007.  I was told Northern Leasing paid the property taxes, but should've billed me for them.  I find it interesting that SKS acquired so many leasing companies (Northern Leasing, Golden Eagle, LFG, etc.) that all made this same error of not billing for taxes?

I called my bank but was told I need to wait until the debit is processed and call tomorrow to file a claim to get the charges reversed.

If anyone has further information, please post.

They tried to get me today...

Hi I just had to take a moment to comment.  Today this company hit my account for $25.00 and from what I can see I'm the one of the lucky ones based on the amount.  I contacted my bank as soon as I noticed the charge in pending transactions - the bank stopped the payment.  The down side is it cost me $25 to stop the payment, however they will never be able to hit my account again according to the bank.  I now have to gather my facts the letter from the previous company that says my account was paid in full, etc and then I'm going to come back here and file my own complaint and all follow up with a complaint to BBB.  Hopefully someone will pick this up and file a class action lawsuit against this company.  Good luck to you all!

They are using a different bank now.

After I saw your posting, I asked my bank to see if they could find out the name of the bank that they are using now.  The bank my money went to is in Arizona.

I emailed the bank myself a little while ago to politely inform them of what was transpiring and invited them to check out this website for reports.  I have not had a reply yet but I'm curious to see what happens there.

So thank you for the idea.  We need to stay on every bank that is inadvertently enabling this.

They almost got me today :(

Unfortunately they are still doing it.  I got the letter this morning (in yesterday's mail) and they attempted to debit my account (my lease was satisfied in May 2008.)  The debit was pending and my bank has put a stop payment on it.

It appears they've been at this all month.  I wish somebody could/would stop it.  I've sent complaints to the FTC and BBB - I encourage all affected to do the same.

UPDATE re: SKS Associates' Bank

AUTHOR: Swann - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 16, 2011

I emailed the president, vice president, ceo, and chairman of The First National Bank of Central Texas to let them know they had a client, SKS Associates, who was committing fraud.  I also sent them a link to Ripoff Report.  Apparently I was not the only person to have contacted First National Bank. 

I received the following email response from the Senior Vice President at The First National Bank of Central Texas:

Mrs. Mace, thank you for your email.  We have notified this client that we will no longer allow them to process any transactions through our bank.

Hopefully this will stop SKS Associates for a little while anyways, at least give some other people a chance to close their accounts and reopen new accounts before they are robbed by SKS.
