Fraudulent billing and hundreds of Fair Credit Act violating phone calls Ripoff

In April I changed credit card/check verification companies after a huge increase in NSF checks that were not getting collected. I sent letters to MBF, CRS, SCAN, ELECTROCHECK, and my bank. Immediately all four companies hit me with bogus charges AFTER they were told they no longer had access to my account. My bank reversed the charges.

I contacted MBF to inquire about sending the equpiment back to them as I discontinued their service. I was told to send it no more than ten days after the registered letter containing the cancellation notice had been recieved. I did it.

Then they start the calls. Ten or more calls a day. Some calls were hang ups. The same two people, a man and a woman would call. Sometimes she would say "please disreguard the call." then call back the next day and demand payment—the calls started after all future attempts to debit my account were rebuked.

The calls came from Northern Leasing. After researching them online, I discover what crooks they are. I filed with the FTC, BBB in both Texas and New York and the Attorney General's office in NY. The Attn. Gen. Said to get a lawyer to get them to leave me alone.

I also found a lawsuit online filed in Sherman TX against Electrocheck and Merchant services for fraudulent fees. I confronted all companies with this—no answer.

Every company associated with them has lied. I was never given anything but a signature sheet. I never saw any contract fine print until I questioned it. Their rep told me to send the equipment back (which they wanted to charge me over $3500 for and costs $40 on Ebay new) and then denied the contract was cancellable.

If anyone has a class action lawsuit against them or gearing one up, I'm in. They are crooks. The FTC knows it, the BBB, even the Attn. General but they are leaving it all up to us to prove it.

They bill me $80.67 every month even though they have the check reader and I don't use their service. They ignored the registered letter I sent per the Fair Credit Act telling them to cease phone harrassment. They won't give me their names and frequently hang up on me when I call them at their own game. I have taped phone calls and harrassing messages. They even called pretending to be a lawyer trying to locate a made up relative.
