We've had several leases with Benchmark over the past ten years. We had met all terms, paying by EFT and purchasing the equipment in the end. Then one day Benchmark fabricated a lease and started invocing us. Sad our new inexperienced bookkeeper started paying. I didn't catch it for 12 months and $10,000 later.
To add insult to injury. We had one more lease that was about to come to an end. We intended to pay $1 and own the equipment in the end. The fine print in the lease agreement stated that we were obligated to tell them 60 days in advace that we intened to buy the equipment for $1. Failing to do so would trigger... Get this "RENT" We paid an additional 3 months. To protect our credit rating. Even though they stole $10,000 from our company.
They have totally ignored our demands for repayment. We go to court November 11
