Like the reports before, I received a letter from SKS saying they had bought out the lease agreements for credit card machine rental from Lease Finance Group and were debiting my account for back taxes and finance charges not paid. I had never had a lease agreement with the Lease Finance Group. I had had an account with Global Finance and Leasing, and that lease was terminated in September.
Upon calling the company, the agent could not give me specifics but kept telling me I owed it and that if I didn't pay it (I had put a hold on my account) it would go to collections. I asked for a copy of the lease they say I signed, as I had no agreement with Lease Finance Group, and also asked for verification of the property tax and filing charge, including receipt of payment to the state. He said he could not do that and forwarded me to an e-mail address.
I e-mailed the company and have had no response as of yet. I will be taking information to my bank and checking about filing a fraud claim.
This company letter was dated 3/25, and mailed on 3/26, with the statement they would be withdrawing from the account on 3/29. This is apparently their pattern, withdrawing the money before you get notification.
I do not believe I owe this money, having paid all bills when I had a lease with original company, not even the one they are listing. I encourage others to file a fraud claim if they feel this is a scam.
