SKS ASSOCIATES DEDUCTED MONEY FROM MY BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR CREDIT CARD MACHINE THAT WAS RETURNED UNUSED FOUR YEARS AGO! NEW YORK, New York

4 years ago (2007) I was approached by a representative of a credit card processing company.  What weas supposed to be a 10-minute meeting turned into a one-hour hard sell the day before I was leaving on a 4-week vacation.  When I returned, a credit card processer was waiting for me.  I did not open the box; just returned it unused and notified the provider via phone and in writing that there was no contract and that any contract they thought there was would be voided.  I totally forgot about the incident after that.  Now, in 2011, I receive a notice from SKS Associates (sent to my home address, not my business address).  SKS advises me they will be deducting $71.18 from my bank account for taxes/fees for some lease through Lease Finance Group.  As I had no such lease, I assumed it was a fraud and wasn't too worried about the threatened debit to my bank account, as I did not see how they would have any account information to make such a transaction.  Wrong!  After the debit showed on my statement, I searched for SKS Associates on the internet and learned of their scam.

It is my personal opinion that a class action suit should be filed against them.
