I, too signed up for Startup Essentials on 11/27 and received my laptop a lease from A-1 Leasing, and materials from Startup Essentials. At first I had the USA Card Services call and they wanted to set up my terminal right now.
After a few months, I realized I was incapable of doing this all by myself and I do not have the funds to pay someone to help me. Startup Essentials website is still online but you can not contact anyone!
I received a letter from The United States District Court, sent to me by A-1 Leasing asking me if I wanted to be included in the law suit for 3 payments. I was supposed to send back a form to them and I did assuming they wanted to make sure I got the notice dated June 6
I called Mr. Grossman, a lawyer involved and asked him if I was a member of this lawsuit and he was very rude to me and said I was as I didn't object by a certain time. Then he hung up on me!
I have noticed that the Attorney General of Texas has charged that this is an unlawful scheme. This is posted at: http://www.oag. State. Tx.Us/consumer/release_view.php? Id=2706 if you want to read it for yourself and print a copy.
I contacted the BBB in Texas and Michigan concerning these people and no response. I have paid these people $139.00 per month for over two years!
With the economy the way it is I can no longer afford this now so I went to my bank and talked to them about this and they suggested I close my bank account as they are hooked into it.
My banker also told me to write all three credit reporting agencies and tell them to put a fraud alert on my credit report about these companies. I figure it won't matter too much credit wise for me as the credit card companies keep raising my interest rates and changing my billing dates which has sent my credit rating down anyway.
This website helped me to finally break free from these people no matter what happens.
