I have already read many reports on Lease Finance Group at this site and would like to add my story to the growing list of people who have been ripped off by LFG. They reportedly have moved all of their offices, including the Chicago office to New York City. My contact with them has primarily been through their old Chicago office. That phone number is now diverted to New York. I need your help if you have been ripped off by LFG and would like to do something about it. I have sent them a demand letter to be followed by a filing with the small claims court here in Southern California. To help make my case, I need some witnesses to come forth. If you live in Orange County, you would be near enough to be of a help in testifying against LFG during my day in court. I will be filing my case on or shortly after May 15th in Santa Ana, Ca. I feel unless someone starts taking these guys to court and getting some positive responses from the judges, they will continue to rip off new business owners, or those who have been in business for awhile but are taken in by their representative's lies and shady dealings when it comes to contracting with LFG. They do not care about you, the small business owner, and if you have been ripped off by them, you know what I mean. They did not make any effort to take a settlement amount of anything less than the full lease. I never used the machine that they sent and returned it to them. I tried to offer a settlement after having paid on a terminal for over a year. That is when I found out that one could be purchased on the internet for between $129 and $169 dollars, same model as LFG leased to me. They want me to pay over $3,000 for that machine! Anyway, I am asking for your help. I could use at least 2 to 3 certified letters stating your situation with LFG and how they dealt with you specifically. If you live in Orange County or nearby, I could use your testimony on my day in court. I've been advised that a class action lawsuit is a waste of time with them, but small claims court appearances are the way to deal with them. If they have tried to bring you to New York and you live in another state, I have been advised that you don't have to go to New York if you initiated the contract lease with them in your state. You can make them come to you. But, rather than wait for them, I am taking them to court.in my eyes, they are treacherous to work with, play games on the phone, use phony names, are rude, hang up on people, yell at us when we call in, etc. You all know what I mean. So if you can help, I would deeply appreciate it. Your story doesn't have to be too long, just provide your name, some dates, dollar amounts, how you got any differences resolved, if you did. I filed my papers with Lisa Madigan's office, but now that they have packed up and moved from Chicago, I would doubt that her office is going to be able to do much of anything. I could be wrong, but I haven't heard back from them for awhile. Thanks for reading this, if you have any court appearance feedback, I would love to hear about it, or any other advise that you have been given that may help my case with LFG
