Integrated Leasing ripoff fraudulent business practices business from hell New York New York

I opened a home business and wanted to accept credit cards. I signed a non-cancellation agreement to obtain equipment. However, I never received any equipment, much less use it. My website had absolutely no sales and the business was closed. I wrote the company several times and didn't hear from them for months.

Approximately 6 months later, I received notices and phone calls stating that I owed over $2,000 for the equipment I leased. I again explained that the business was closed and I never received any equipment, much less use it.

I recently received a letter from an attorney stating that a collection agency was going to file court documents if this money was not received. It has also been put on my credit report as a charge-off item. I don't think I should have to pay for something I never had nor used.
