Northern Leasing Systems fraud - misrepresentation on credit card processing service and terminal lease

I got a call from Smart Card Merchant Service stating that we can save about 40% to 50% on credit card processing service and was forced to make appointment to meet with local sales rep.

They said there’s NO obligation to sign up and this is just simply to compare current rate and theirs.

Then the local sales rep., Michael Lee was assigned to our business and offered me great deal that no one would refuse.

He mentioned that in order for them to find out whether we are qualified for those great deals that he mentioned, the documents needed to be initialized and singed.

Then, he FORCED me to initial and sign on the documents that I never had chance to read and understand because he was HIDING all the IMPORTANT PART. When I hesitated to sign, he repeated assurance phrase of “this is just for QUOTE purpose, NO contract or agreement, DON’T WORRY, TRUST ME, I’m doing this full time and I have over 20 years of experience and I’m here to HELP business owners to save money. I NEVER LIE.” Then later on, we found out that documents were the actual non-cancelable agreement/contract of the lease for 48 months!

As for Free equipment part, I asked repeatedly if it is really free or not because most of the merchant service companies always have a choice to buying option or leasing option. He assured it’s FREE and it’s NOT lease.

Then WITHOUT any notification, I received a brown box from the courier and I signed it without paying any attention. It was the credit card swiping machine. I immediately contacted Michael Lee and left message that I received the machine WITHOUT any notice or any analysis/quote that I supposed to receive BEFORE any official agreement.

I NEVER thought signing "the simple brown package" from Northern Leasing was considered actual acceptance of the contract until I called Northern Leasing. Is this action legally acceptable?

I contacted Smart Card Merchant and Northern Leasing several times to solve the issue by myself somehow, but nothing solved until now. Both companies are just dodging the responsibility each other.

I still don't understand why they are still in business...

Northern Leasing Systems everything

Leased a sign from signtronix and they had Northern handle the lease. The lease we finally got wasn't the same as we discussed. The lease had no cancellation as we were told it would have one. End of the lease we contacted them and they said had to be in writing so faxed it that day 3 months later they were still billing and taking money from the account. Stopped the auto pay and they still tried to get money out. In January the frauded the bank with false info and managed to get 700 from our account. Feb tried again but was caught and reversed and March tried to get 300 more by again changing as if it was a new lease #. Bank caught it too so we closed the account. They wouldn't call back or answer the calls, I just got another bill so sent it to my lawyer. Found they have had several class action suits so am going to start one of my own. Anyone want to join in with me contact me

Northern Leasing Systems debit/credit machine and services

They are a scamming company. They broke they're end of the lease agreement as well. The sales person that set me up on this wouldn't even talk to me when I started having problems. I only had starter checks when I signed up with them but Greg insisted I send a counter check. when my real check came I faxed them my check. they said they weren't getting payment from me so all these fees accrued, but they were taking money out of my account and whenever customers used card to pay me they kept all that too. when I would call they would say they straightened it out, but they wouldn't finally tired of the run around I called again very upset because I had stopped payment and they came through in a different amount and it took it out of my bank account northern leasing representative said well I cant tell you what to do but if you close your bank account that will get their attention so I did. I sent their equipment back priority mail asap. they have been calling and sending bills and letters saying they are suing. I was supposed to get rebates from them after a year didn't get that. THEY ARE A FRAUD SCAMMING COMPANY STAY AWAY!

Northern Leasing Systems 5 yrs non canceable lease scam

I own a restaurant in Brampton ON work over 50hrs to provide for my family. Few months ago, I regretfully changed our merchant service provider from Elavon to Merchant services Inc as it seemed a good deal on rates. Boy was I ever wrong. Countless overcharges and terrible machines not working properly. So right away I decided to cancel as there was no resolution happening. Merchant services said your account is closed. Coming to find out that our machines are from a company called northern leasing. And now they are asking for $5000 to cancel the lease on the machines. I have never heard of them or was told about a non-canceable lease. If anyone is interested to join me I am in the process of filing a lawsuit against them. for Lost of sales because of their non functional machines, harassment and threats made towards me, overcharges and fees. You can contact me at [protected]@rogers.com if you wish to sue them with me. The more the better.

Please contact me as I am getting a lawyer and defending myself and our company from this ###. davehicks2001@yahoo.com . written 9/16/2015
Everything this ### says is a lie. He is also backed up by the equipment financing company, in my case, Tiger Leasing in NYC, with his ### friend Steve Robbins, who then sells the receivable, inour case to another ### at Bryn Mawr Equipment leasing. Very sad what he does to people, demoralizing. By the way it seems so far our court system and the AG office is not much better or more like pretty useless. - David

Northern Leasing Systems unauthorized debits

Northern Leasing Inc/ Lease Source Inc, took automatic withdraws from my account that would total over a thousand dollars. The amounts were taken sometimes twice in a day and sometimes daily. When I called and warned them that I would take legal action about the transactions I was not only yelled at but insulted. When I finally got out of the grips of this company they continued to take money from my account. I called again and was told that they just received the equipment, I was amazed because it had been shipped over a moth ago. One more way for them to squeeze more money out of my business. I am glad to be rid of this company and all their wrong doings!

Northern Leasing Systems the worst company in the world!

Northern leasing Merchant Services Inc.

In March of 2010 I was contacted by phone from a company called Merchant Services Inc, they stated that they could save me money on my transaction processing on my Visa, MC, and debit
fees and rates. At the time I had just received a rather large increase in rent so I was looking to save money where ever I could. So on March 24th 2011 a rep from said company came to see me. To look at my current rates, he stated that he could save me aprox 1700.00 per year if I process at the same amount as my last year he had me sign an invoice and the new machine arived a few days later. I was instructed to set up the machine and call the # on the side of the unit. I called several times, Each time I was put on music on hold, 3 or 4 times over a 4 hour period, finally I got through to a human being, with out being put on music on hold. I explained that I had just received a new machine and that it needed to be set up, we proceeded with there set up rotine, they had me process a small amount, it worked and they said there ya go its ready to go.

The next day I was invoicing a customer, they said they would like to pay by Visa so I ran there
card through the new machine and it FAILED! so I called the # on the side of the machine, again
PUT ON MUSIC ON HOLD! with the customer standing there for 20 minutes. Customer got fed up and asked if there was a bank machine around here I said sure at the gas station across the street.
So the customer went and got cash and paid the invoice. And I was still on hold when the customer left. Aprox 30 minutes on hold before I gave up and hung up the phone. A few days later a customer wanted to pay with MC, I informed him that I know Visa does not work, but we can try it, IT FAILED ALSO, So with the customer standing there I called the # on the side of the machine again, AND AGAIN PUT ON MUSIC ON HOLD, this customer was less tolerant and after waiting aprox 10 minutes, I informed him that there was a bank machine across the street he was not happy but went and got cash and paid the invoice. Out of curiosity I tried a Debit card AND IT FAILED ALSO!
The following week I attempted to contact Merchant Services Inc. every time PUT ON MUSIC ON HOLD. finally I just gave up. The following week, THE ### HIT THE FAN! my landlord called me and said My rent check had bounced, so I went to the bank and found that 318.00 had been debited from my account from Merchant Services Inc. that I did not authorize, Now I'm pissed.
So I called that # again, after about the fifth time over 3 days I finally got to speak to a human being. I informed that person that the machine does not work, and why have you taken 318.00
from my account? That person stated that they did not know why but she suggested that could be
because you are a new customer. I expressed I was not told that you would taking any funds from my account that did not involve transactions and machine rental. She said they do that for new customers and then they will most likely return that amount at a later date. A TOTAL LIE!
Never the less I still had a machine THAT DID NOT WORK!

Over a three month period I attempted to get a new machine I was informed that my account had been closed due to lack of transactions, NO KIDDING ! Then Northern Leasing debited my account for another 500.00 and another 240.00 and several other smaller amounts. And I had never ran a single transaction BECAUSE THE MACHINE WAS A LEMON FROM THE GET GO! So I called Northern Leasing Inc., and explained my situation, they said there was nothing they could do, and I would have to take my issues up with Merchant Services Inc. I said NO!
THERE USELESS!
Two days later I get a call from some guy at Northern Leasing stating that he would like me to pay out the lease on the machine aprox 2700.00 and return the machine. YUP! After my head stopped spinning he said he would be sending me a pre printed purolator way billl and instructed me to afix it to repackaged machine, and call purolator for pick up. I did all that and the machine was returned. ( I have way bill and tracking info)

So for the next few months I did not have a machine, then in late September I got a call from a
company called CollectivePOS, I said hold it and explained the hell I had just gone through and I did not want to get screwed like that again, she stated she had heard of situations like this from other customers of Merchant Services Inc.IE:POOR SERVICE! She assured me that every thing was up front no hidden charges. So I said ok, and on Oct13th a Allen Pak Law came in and filled out the paperwork, and few days later a new machine arrived, I plugged it in and set it up, and was instructed to call and have the machine activated, It works and I have run several transactions through the new unit. All GOOD? NOT SO FAST!

A couple months go by and my accountant comes by my shop one day and says " why are you paying 2 lease payments to Northern leasing." WHAT ! He showed me and sure enough they where still charging me for a MACHINE THAT NEVER WORKED, THAT I NO LONGER HAD IN MY POSSESSION! remember it was returned. So on December 7th I called Northern Leasing,
explained the situation and in formed that person that I was ANGRY and I was not going to pay for a machine that I had in fact returned to them! The lady said she understands and said she would call me back. She did call me back Her name was Leronda, she was very apologetic and said I would no longer be billed or debited for that machine and that they would be returning 647.47 back into my account, should take about 4 to 6 weeks. I said thank you, and left it at that.

On Jan 11th I called Northern Leasing Inc. again and asked why I have not received the 647.47 back into my account yet, the fellow I was speaking to said he would resubmit it and I should receive a check in 4-6 weeks, I said hold on, I was told that you would be putting it back into my account the same way you took it out, electronically, he said they never do that they only send out checks. OHHHH...LIED TO AGAIN. So he said I should receive a check in 4 to 6 weeks and that’s all he could do.
So another month goes by and I have yet to receive the 647.47 I was told would be returned to me.
Feb 15th I call Northern Leasing Inc. and ask why have I not received the 647.47 they had promised to return on DEC 7TH 2010 and its now FEB 15th 2011 and I still have not received it and seeing that I was told 4 to 6 weeks has now turned into 12+ weeks and nothing forth coming,
Well NEEDLESS TO SAY, NOW I'M REALLY ANGRY!

Feb 16th called Northern Leasing, got through right away, funny it was like they new what I was
Calling about this time, right away, call display? Spoke to a Elizabeth this time, so I asked, " when I could expect the 647.47 from them." she said "4 to 6 weeks", oh..."from today I asked?" She replied "yes" I said, well I was told originally I would be receiving it in 4 to 6 weeks on Dec 7th and it would be deposited directly into my account. She said, "we don't do that, we only send out checks." I said, "I know that now, as that is what I was told on Jan 11th, but it had not been submitted yet, so most likely it would take 4 to 6 weeks." Then I said "that was 34 days ago, 4.8 weeks, she said well you still have 1.2 weeks remaining on our normal timeline. So I said "your now telling me I should see my 647.47 in 8 to 10 days, " she said "yes."
I said ok, gritting my teeth, ” well I will believe it when I see it but knowing your record of 100's of unsatisfied customers, I won't hold my breath.

March 2nd 10.00am checked my mail, NO CHECK from Northern Leasing as I was promised, as said on Feb 16th " I won't hold my breath" This company does not care about it's customers, it will screw them any way they can! I will most likel'y have to change banks, and terminate this relationship with Northern Leasing. THEY DON"T CARE!
It's mind over matter, they don't mind and you don't matter!

May 3rd 2011

Still have not received 647.47 refund from Northern Leasing I was promised back in
Jan 11th2011.

Today I was reviewing my bank statements and I found that I had 2 NL debits
From my bank account, 1 correct for 44.15 and another for 28.00 was also taken out on Jan 15th 2011
So I call NL and they said that the 28.00 debited on Jan 15th 2011 was for 2010 and the 28.00 debited on April 15th 2011 is for 2011, so considering I have only had the machine since September of 2010 3.5 months for 2010, one would get the feeling I am being nickel and dimmed!
IE: there not even pro rating that charge.

May 4th 2011 Yesterday I was told to call back today have been attempting all morning to get through to a human being, mail box is full won’t even let me leave message.
@11:30 pst I finally got through, asked to speak to a Mrs. Robinson, got put on hold and then got hung up on. Called back got through to her mail box, left message..

May 5th 2011 called NLS talked to another rep, turned out it was the original rep I had spoken to in Jan 11th 2011 named Laronda who had promised that I would get the refund of 647.47 back in
January, I told her that I have still not received the refund, she was very apologetic, and said she
would look into it and call me back. She (Laronda) called me back and said the money will be directly deposited back into my bank account tomorrow, May 6th 2011.
May 6th 2011, I checked my bank account online, found 647.47 had not been returned as promised.
So I called NLS again asking to speak to Laronda, was told she was on her break, rep asked if she could help me, I asked why I have not received my 647.47 refund as I was promised. The rep said let me look into it and put me on hold. She came back and said it will be in your account by
Monday May 9th 2011 I said ok.
Monday May 9th 2011 I checked my bank account online, still have not received the 647.47 back
Into my account. Called NLS again, asked to speak to Laronda, was told she won’t be in till next week now. Was asked again can I help you, explained again what I have been told time and time
again that I have been promised 647.47 put back in my account, she put me on hold again and she would look into it, came back and was told I would have the money back in my account tomorrow May 10th 2011.
May 10th 2011 checked my bank account, still have not received the 647.47 back into my account. Called NLS again, explained to rep my frustrations in my attempt to get my money
647.47 returned to my account, got put on hold and then hung up on again. Called back again
spoke to a Eric B (would not give last name) explained again, said he could not talk to manager
as manager was in a meeting, He said he would talk to her (Elba) when she finishes her meeting
and he would call me back. Aprox 9:00 am PST he called me back and said that it has been submitted although not processed, and I should have it 647.47 no later than Thursday May 12th 2011.

So this is where I’m at I do not believe I will ever see this money returned to my account as I have been lied to so many times, and in looking at there BBB rating of –F and the fact they
have 2 class action law suits and several small claims against them, will see but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Northern Leasing Systems fraudulent withdrawal

I checked my bank statement today and noticed a withdrawal of $125 from SKS Associates. I notified my bank and informed them that this withdrawal was unauthorized. They are disputing the charge. I Googled SKS Associates and come to find that they have something to do with Northern Leasing. This is the company I had leased my credit card processing machine from many years ago. I bought the machine in 2004 for $255.74 I cannot believe that SKS had the audacity to just take money out of my account without any notification whatsoever. I can see from this board that I am not the only one that's been hit by SKS.

Northern Leasing Systems bank fraud

This happened to me today. I got a debit from on my Wells Fargo Checking acct for -$95.52. I had equipment with Northern Leasing from [protected] which was closed and finalized. I still have the same bank acct which is how they debited my acct UNAUTHORIZED for this or any other amount. It also triggered a $35.00 over draft fee as I wasn't expecting.

After searching Northern Leasing and SKS online, I see that this FRAUD is being committed all over the country. I reported it to my bank and I am following the instructions that other victims have recommended. I have already filed a complaint with the New York Atty General, California Atty General, will be filing a local police report, filing a report with the local FBI office (as the fraud crossed state lines) and filing a report with the District Atty of New York and Dist Atty of Los Angeles. Iteresting that the New York Atty General & California Atty General WERE AWARE OF BOTH these CON-ARTIST companies. They WERE ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM AND BEING INVESTIGATED!

PLEASE E V E R Y O N E call your Atty General in the state you live in AND the New York AG where they are located. Call the FBI and make a report and with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If EVERYONE makes a complaint they will get what's coming to them. Also, there is a Class action suit underway. Call the number on the website www.NorthernLeasingClassAction.com (Chittur & Associates, PC) and give the atty the paperwork he requests. Hopefully this will prevent these CREEPS from continuing this scam and FABRICATING FAKE FEES in the future. They will continue to committ this FRAUD if people don't complain.

It only takes a few minutes to participate in the reporting of this abuse. Also, unless you close your bank account, it is likely that they will attempt to illegally withdrawal more funds in the future, possibly under a different company name. STAY ON THIS CASE EVERYONE INVOLVED!

I'm glad that First National of Texas stopped.

Metro Phoenix Bank didn't stop when I alerted them on March 30th. I contacted them by email and offered up several links to complaint sites to demonstrate that this was a widespread problem. Plenty more were charged through that bank going forward, so no action was taken.

I did receive an acknowledgment from Metro Phoenix, they said they would keep my email "on file". Methinks it went into "File 13".

They are no longer stealing money from people because Melissa Gore at First National Bank of Texas has stopped them. The bank will not honor anymore ACH withdrawals. She is concerned about it and will refund anyone their money if she is called and asked. Her number is [protected] Ext. 510408. She is a nice person so be kind to her. It is not her fault. Again the CFO of this company is Jeff Sibley at [protected].

There is now a temporary restraining order against SKS et al. from debiting any more accounts or otherwise engaging in collection activity from closed/terminated leases. It's posted on the Facebook page. It went into effect on Friday afternoon (4/8/11).

If anyone is debited after that they are in direct violation of that TRO.

Northern Leasing Systems scam

I have read these post and it awful how they can cheat your money and drain you. If you think about it, is the equipment they leasing your REALLY worth a total of $2000, for a credit card machine. You can buy one for less than that amount "ANYWHERE." They don't care about what you do. All they can say is that you signed that contract. What contract? They won't send you one either. I see that they will still take money out no matter what. Did anyone try to take this to court? I would like to see them owe "US" money back of the loss of time and misrepresentation. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ANY AGENTS SAYING THAT IS FREE BECAUSE they are working on taking you for all you got!

I wish I would have read this before getting involved with them here in Canada. Here they operate as NLS Leasing and I have had to close my business account to stop the overcharging. I don't know what will happen next. They started calling every day and have now started to send me bills in the mail that are rediculous.

Northern Leasing Systems merchant leasing equipment

Northern Leasing Systems rip-off, dishonest, fraudulent business practices, harassments and deducts more money than the signed contract. Northern Leasing Systems finances equipment for $4, 000.00 that is worth about $400.00. The contract supposedly says that this lease can not be cancelled that is why they feel justified in charging 10 times what the equipment is worth. Sales representative filled out the application, showed me one page of a six page contract told me where to sign without giving me time to read the contract, he did not give me a copy said he would mail it to me if I was approved. They send the equipment a couple of days later and started to deduct money out of my account even though we were not scheduled to open for business until December 1, 2009.

My business is now in a battle with Northern Leasing...a former employee who took over the "office work" at our retail wine store got us into the contract by having my husband sign the Datalink and Northern Leasing papers without explaining what he was signing...at the time he was gravely ill - not knowing what he was signing. I have written them twice - including Dr. letters, explanation of his diminished mental capacity and that he signed the contract because he trusted the employee...she was duped...he was duped...now they want $3000. I need to file with BBB and probably sue if the matter isn't resolved. Vultures...

I am another of the many small business victims of Northern Leasing. Two woman auto repair garage. The twist for us was that they got in the door posing as an auditor from our current processing company. He claimed they were cleaning house in an effort to lower fees and provide updated equipment. Got me to sign two contracts, never provided a copy of either. Lied about every single element. We found out about the scam when we received our first bank statement. That is when we learned we had switched companies! We closed our bank account. Filed formal complaints with the California Attorney General's Office and Federal Trade Commission. Now we are at the harassment stage, wondering how big their teeth will grow.

I have been a victim of Northern Leasing too. I am a small company based out of Westland, Michigan. I was a new business owner and had already owned my own terminal. This guy came in and said I can get you great rates, blah blah. The next thing I knew I was signed up for a new machine for 3 years at $47.12 a month. When I realized my account was being debited I called NL and they said that there wasn't anything they could do because I signed the contract. So, I paid for 3 years. When it was at the end of the contract I noticed they were still taking money out. I called and spoke to Sam and she said that I didn't own the machine yet that I still owed another $227 buy out fee. She was very rude and I had asked to speak with a supervisor and I was told no one was available that they would contact me. I didn't hear from anyone, I tried once again and no success. I put a stop payment on my account. I hadn't heard from anyone in almost three years. Just the other day I received a letter from my bank informing me that my account was overdrawn because NL had debited $1900 out of my account. I immediately called NL and asked them why and he said because I still owed the buy out fee and they charged me $47 late charge for 33 months! I have done nothing but cry. I feel like I've just been violated and there is nothing I can do. One more thing to add salt to the wound. When I told this Jason Mahoney (from their legal department) that when the 2nd dispute happened as I was speaking with this Sam I let him know about how rude she was to me and that I wanted to speak with her supervisor, he said to me, "Ma'am before you go any further, I personally know Sam from customer service and I know that she is a very nice lady!"
This is the kind of people that we have to deal with.
I begged him to just take the $180 (minus $47 after the contract was supposed to be done) buy out fee and a late charge and please give me my money back or else I will be forced to close my business. His response was, "Ma'am you should have thought about that before you put a stop payment on your account!"

If anyone is reading this that can help me or give me some advice please contact me at tmlesnau@hotmail.com
Thank you and good luck to everyone involved. The only thing we have on our side now is God and Karma

Northern Leasing Systems nsme forgery

Salesman place my name on a credit card machine lease and then forged my signature. I had no involvement with the business which was owned by my wife and her partner. Through an attorney I provided numerous documents that proved I did not sign the agreement. Northern Leasing, aka Golde Eagle Leasing finally dropped a lawsuit against me, but filed a derogatory report with Experian Credit Bureau. I have been fighting this corrupt company since 2004.

Northern Leasing Systems this is a rip off company

This is the worst company I have ever, unfortunately, had to deal with. They lie, refuse phone calls and hide behind no known address. I had the misforune of using this company to lease my credit card machine when I opened my business. Up front, they were helpful, however deceitful. I was told I could "lease" the equpment for approximately $50/month, or purchase a machine for $1600. Not knowing how successful (or unsuccessful) my adventure would be, I opted to lease. They automatically debit the fee from your checking account each month. Well, after 9 months, my business was not making money so I closed the doors. I, of course, needed to return the machine to Northern Leasing. However, all the phone numbers I was either given from my credit card processing company, or from information, never could get me through to a representative of Northern. I must have tried to reach them (by mail and phone) over a dozen times. So, finally I decided to put a "stop" on the automatic debit from my business checking account. When I approached my bank, they told me they had many clients who were having the same problem I was. That Northern Leasing remains somewhat "anonymous" but continues to debit accounts. So, any way, I put the stop on the account. Incredibly, once Northern could not access my account, they sent me a collection letter, threatening all sorts of action. I called them as they finally provided me a phone number, however, the phone representative would not answer my questions, would not transfer me to a supervior, and told me I was rude, then hung up on me! I keep getting threatening letters, and, they now say if I return the machine and pay them $1500, they won't proceed with collections. After reading this blog, I've decided to contact the Attorney General and see what happens. However, I ADVISE EVERYONE TO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR BUSINESS AND IF YOU ARE IN MY SITUATION, FIGHT IT!

Northern Leasing Systems scam you twice; your credit report too

If a default judgment has been issued against you by the New York Civil Court in favor of Northern Leasing they cannot post it as a judgment against your Credit Report until it is entered as judgment with the New York Civil Court for an additional fee of $15.00

(You can check by going to http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivilLocal/LCMain to see if they obtained a default judgment against you and then calling to see if they have a record of judgment; I doubt it since they only have TWO from 2004 listed; TWO. )

In 2004 they were granted 2900 default judgments from the new York Civil Court; at $15 an entry for judgment of record that is over $43, 000 dollars. No way is Northern Leasing going to spend that kind of money. They cannot report to the Credit Reporting Agencies it is a judgment UNTIL they enter it as a judgment of record.

The Credit Reporting Agencies have to verify with the New York Civil Court that it is a judgment of record; to not do so is a violation of the Fair Reporting Act and New York Law.

DON'T bother with Northern Leasing unless you want to have the default judgment removed; write to the CRA's and just have it removed from your credit. Don't tell Northern Leasing; they will figure it out eventually but they will not know WHO got it removed. If you tell them they can file the $15 against you and then you are stuck.

They don't have any power in this area unless they are willing to spend a lot of money.

Just have them removed from your Credit and go on with your life.

Northern Leasing Systems credit card machine lease

After reading through other people's complaints regarding Northern Leasing, has anyone looked into suing this company. Our nightmare started after our credit card machine lease was up and the machine was sent back to our third party AMG, with whom set us up with Norhern leasing. We closed our business and paid what was owed to Northern Leasing and then continued to receive a bill from the company. I called regarding the bill and was told that a 30 day written notification was required at the end of the lease or we would continue being charged. I contacted the third party AMG and told them that this was ridiculous, we are not in business anymore, returned the machine to them and would not pay another cent. The representative from AMG said to send them a copy of our lease and they would handle the rest. We received a numerous amount of harassing phone calls and my husband finally intervened and much to my dismay, paid Northern Leasing another $30.99 and was promised that this would be our final payment. That was last April, well almost a year later I am still receiving bills from the company which I throw in the trash everytime I receive one. The harassing phone calls have begun again. I have told their "legal department, " that I have requested not to be called, if they call again I will record the call and send it to my lawyer. They are claiming that they did not receive their machine back until June of 2007. I told the a**hole they can take that up with AMG, the third party that initially set us up with this horrible company, the machine was returned to them long before this! Blah, blah, blah the man went on! To make matters worse, AMG is no longer in business! If anyone would like to file a law suit, we must have some rights as small business owners.

Northern Leasing Systems Inc. (NLSI) has also infected the UK.

Here they go by the name of, Forrester UK Holdings LLC. But this is just a fig leaf that enables them to trade in Britain and a useful screen that conceals their true identity from the people they target.

NLSI began their operations here after buying out the UK leasing interests of Phoenix-based Hypercom Corp, in June, 2006.

NLSI acquired as part of the deal the confidential personal and banking data of Lloyds TSB bank customers from across the UK.

Lloyds sold people their ‘Hypercom EMEA’ leasing contracts before June 2006 so they could take money off customers using the bank’s ‘Cardnet’ system.

The bank, now part of Lloyds Banking Group, continues to promote leasing facilities via its website and telesales that are leading to yet more small businesses’ personal and banking data being handed to NLSI.

Allegations are now emerging from companies across the country citing harassment from NLSI in pursuit of money the victims say is not owed.

As in the United States, problems begin when terminal lessees attempt to cancel their contracts with NLSI.

There follows the most appalling campaign of harassing and abusive telephone calls, day and night, from NLSI’s building, on West 31st Street, New York.

Faxes and letters follow by the dozen, demanding spurious sums and threatening all kinds of court action, penalties and ruin. All correspondence sent in response to NLSI by the victims is ignored.

NLSI then commissions UK-based debt collectors to pressure people into parting with the supposedly owed money. Allegations of harassment, bullying and misrepresentation against the UK debt collectors are now also rife.

Up until now the UK authorities have refused to act over what on the face of it is clearly extortion.

However, a class action in the New York courts looks set to break the dam. Attorney Krishnan Chittur, successfully argued that NSLI’s senior named managers acting in the US were guilty of systematic fraud and deception and that this activity was the ‘mainstay’ of their business.

These allegations, already underway in the New York Court of Appeal in 2004, were upheld in the Supreme Court in New York, in 2008.

Thanks to Mr. Chittur, when NLSI bought their UK leasing interests, allegations of their alleged criminal misconduct were already a matter of court record and in the public domain.

It therefore seems impossible that Lloyds TSB were unaware of the jeopardy in which their customers were being placed when NLSI acquired their leases and their confidential data.

We have certain proof that the bank knew in 2007 what was going on. And it is the case that Lloyds TSB continues to promote NLSI’s services.

It is also a fact that Lloyds Banking Group refuses point blank to warn any of its customers that their data has fallen, and continues to fall, into the hands of alleged US fraudsters.

Seemingly unrelated to any of this, the UK utility, ‘British Gas Trading Limited’, was last year found guilty on Appeal to the British High Court of Justice, of harassment against its customer, Ms. Lisa Maria Angela Ferguson.

British Gas claimed they had done nothing wrong since it was an automated device that kept sending threatening letters to Ms. Ferguson in pursuit of money she did not owe.

The judges rules otherwise.

The case set a precedent that has made NLSI’s (Forrester UK Holdings LLC) position utterly untenable. Its UK debt collectors have become equally vulnerable.

The coincidence of Mr. Chittur’s excellent work compounds NLSI’s woes by identifying them for what they allegedly are: crooks on a massive scale.

Authorities in the UK charged with upholding The Data Protection Act, who have hitherto chosen to ignore NLSI’s activities, could not continue to do so if sufficient numbers of NLSI’s victims lodged complaints.

And those charged with upholding The Protection From Harassment Act must now per force take heed of the findings in the case of Ms. Ferguson.

Lloyds Banking Group’s CEO should hang his head in shame and pray the general public does not become aware of his part in this. Indeed, an action against the bank has not been ruled out.

All those in the US suffering at the hands of NLSI should seek attachment to Mr. Chittur’s class action.

Any in the US or UK who wish an end to NLSI’s harassment and preying on small businesses should send their comments and support to whittingtonmarket@angeltomney.co.uk where journalists are working on resolving this issue once and for all.
