Lease Financial Services LLC A Subsidiary Of CIT, And Wholesale Payment Solutions Fradulent business practices. Alteration of signed contract. Intentional misrepresentation of terms of contract. Chicago, Jacksonville, Dallas Illinois, Florida, Texas

Earnest young salesman with Wholesale Payment Solutions, from Dallas, TX comes in wanting to set me up to take credit cards. Salesman offers two months free so I can see how accepting credit cards will increase my business, then $49.99 per month for the terminal, plus nominal fees per usage.

I decline, stating I do not want to incurr any fixed monthly expenses. Salesman assures me that the unit will be on a month-by-month basis and I can cancel anytime. Papers are shuffled around, sign here, contract reads 1 month at $49.99.

When I get the contract back, along with the Dear Merchant letter from Lease Finance Group LLC, the 1 has been changed to a 4 and the number 8 was added making the lease 48 months long, and now there is non-cancelable language all over it, that I didn't see before.

I have tried contacting Wholesale payment solutions, CIT and Lease Finance Group, which is actually officed out of Florida (supposedly). I have no luck getting in touch with anyone who can help. So far they are not showing me in their computer system?...yet I have a Dear Merchant letter from them?

Has anyone tried taking this to small claims court and asking the judge to nullify the contract?
