Lease Finance Group, LLC Northern Leasing Systems, Credit Card Equipment Lease Ripoff Chicago IL

This company is horrible.  We were locked in a 48 month lease with them by our credit card processing company.  Their contract included the lease of the equipment from Lease Finance Group.  The lease was up 5-23-18.   We paid over $5500 for a piece of equipment that probably cost no more than $250.  WE are currently with a company that did not require us to lease equipment, and our equipment cost $250.  We notified them in April that we would not be continuing to do business with them.  I was told at that time that I could terminate the lease right then, and $258.65 would be taken out of our account to complete the lease, or I could choose to return it at the time of the expiration, and pay the one month like we have been doing for 4 years.

We chose to wait until the end of the lease to return the equipment.  We packaged up the equipment along with a $150 RESTOCKING FEE, and fedex'ed it off to them.  They received it on 5-30-18.  On 6-1-18, they again took $116 out of our account.  When I called to tell them they needed to refund that amount, I was told no, if I hadn't wanted to pay another billing cycle, the equipment would have needed to be back to them on 5-23-18.  No amount of arguing with these people does any good.  They're never going to do the right thing, they don't care what kind of a reputation they have, look them up, it's the worst.  Never do business with them.
