When I opened my brick and mortar store, I was approached by a number of people who wanted to help me with a merchant account, which they all swore to be the very best. North American Bancard was the merchant account that was the most convincing. However, when I was forced to close my store about 18 months later, I continued to have my bank account charged for two merchant account fees plus the rental fee of the credit card machine, which I was not using and rarely had any use for in the first place. It was then that I realized that North American Bancard, my merchant account company, had slipped in a contract with Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. for this credit card machine.

Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. continued charging me $32 a month even after my store was closed. When I contacted them about this, I was told that whether I used the machine or not, I signed a lease for it and therefore, I had to pay. To make a long story short to prevent Northern Leasing from continuing to take money from my bank account, I filed a stop payment on all payments to them through my bank. I shipped the credit card machine back to them after learning that not only was my lease longer than I was originally told, but Northern Leasing took it upon themselves to pay property taxes on their machine for me with my money. I disputed that payment with my bank and got my money back. I also had to put a cancellation payment on all payments to Northern Leasing so that they could not withdraw funds from my bank.

Now, I am receiving invoicing statements from Northern Leasing that I have to pay them $163.95 and they intend to charge an additional $5 interest each month until I pay it, which I will not do. It never mattered to them that I returned their equipment. Also, I learned after closing my store and paying several more months of rental fees on this equipment that even after paying for 48 months rental, I would still have to buy the equipment if I wished to keep it. I do not think a credit card machine is worth $1536, plus whatever they were going to charge me to buy it. Do you?

Any business that has to cheat people out of their money and to trick them into signing a contract without release is disreputable and dishonest. I would gladly file a lawsuit against this company. I still own an internet business, which is where I started and went back to; however, I try to always be honest and fair iwth my customers, even when it has cost me in doing so.

Reported Credit Card Machine not returned - Continue Charges

AUTHOR: Alice t. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 16, 2009

I returned their machine a couple years ago and they know it; however, they reported to the credit bureaus that I am in default of payments on a machine that I do not have. Again, they demand payments and the return of their machine. I don't have the machine, but I do have records. This is the biggest rip off company I have ever dealt with. They have now turned my account over to their Legal Dept and the amount they now want is close to $1000 ...all for a machine that I rarely used and have not had for over 2 years now.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Northern Leasing Systems. Actually, I was dealing with a merchant credit card company and did not KNOW that the machine that was shipped to me actually was being leased from Northern Leasing Systems. Ask questions. Demand everything in writing and READ THE SMALL PRINT. Don't let the salesman walk out without giving you a copy of what you signed. They do change it.

Personal Property Tax

AUTHOR: Alice t. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, January 26, 2008

This month of January 2008, Northern Leasing Systems billed me yet again for property tax due on their equipment. This equipment was returned to them 2 years ago. They continue to call 6-8 times daily. They continue sending invoices monthly.

I have filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General and the New York Attorney General where they are located and Missouri. No one seems to care.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LIKE MISSOURI RESIDENTS DID

AUTHOR: Mark - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, January 26, 2008

MY WIFE AND I ARE DEALING WITH THESE PEOPLE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT IF EVERY ONE WOULD GO TO THEIR ATTORNEY GENERALS WEDSITE OR CALL AND FILE COMPLAINTS, LIKE THE FOLKS IN MISSOURI DID, (IT ONLY TOOK 23 COMPLAINTS TO MISSOURI ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GET SOME ACTION GOING AGAINST NORTHERN LEASING, AND THEY GOT STOPPED.) SO LETS BAND TOGETHER AND GET THESE PEOPLE SHUT DOWN. GO TO YOUR ATTORNEY GENERALS AND FILE THE COMPLAINTS, WE HAVE IN IOWA, AND ARE SPREADING THE WORD. DON'T LET THEM WIN. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! WHAT HAPPENED IN MISSOURI GIVES HOPE TO US ALL. THANK YOU

Northern Leasing Systems continues to call me daily 5-6 times a day with threatening messages.

AUTHOR: Alice t. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 03, 2008

It doesn't matter to them that I closed my business, returned their machine and very seldom used it. In fact, it is stated on the XEROX copy of my so-called contract that they didn't care what the status or situation of my business is or even what situation I may be in, they want me to pay them for NOT USING THEIR MACHINE and not even having it in my possession. The copy of the contract that sent to me, I NEVER SAW when I signed up for North American Bancard as a merchant account. No, that's not a typo. I signed up for a merchant account through North American Bancard and ended up with Northern Leasing Systems machine.
