SKS Associates claims that my company owes them $97.04 for back taxes on Credit Card Processing Equipment. Funny, since we do all of our credit card processing through software. But I digress...
The meat of it, SKS Associates claims that they purchased the rights, title, and interest in certain leases owned by Lease Finance Group, LLC. And that my lease was part of that acquisition.
The letter was dated 2-28-11. It claimed they would debit $97.04 from my business accounts on or about 3-11-11.
The reason - An audit was conducted on your account and it was determined certain taxes and related fees due were either not collected or under collected.in accordance with the terms of your lease agreement (section Net Lease: Taxes), you are required to pay all taxes and related filing costs pertaining to the equipment you leased from Lease Finance Group, LLC. The amount owed is $97.04, which includes tax processing and filing fees.
We do not have a contract with SKS Associates or Lease Finance Group, LLC. No evidence or how they arrived at any money figures were provided. Nothing was provided that we even had business dealings with either company.
On 3-11-11, $97.04 was debited from our account.in our view, that is theft, and is currently being reported to the Texas State Attorney General's office.
We have contacted out bank and they are disputing the charges. As we are not the only report on the (31 reports in the last week), we are adding our report to the total.
If you have received this letter, been debited, or are starting a class-action, please let us know.
Bottomline, this can't be legal.
