Here is how it all started: Micheal Brownlee, a rep for MSI, caming waltzing into my store asking if I had a charge machine. Of course, he ignored my no soloisters sign. My first response was no and I don't want one. He had to ask why and I explained I had already had a bad experience and didn't want one. I didn't even have a phone in my store for a hook up, I used my cell phone.
He said I could take the machine home and do it there. With Christmas coming it was the perfect time to try it out as he told me it was just a rent "month by month" service and if I found I didn't use it that much I could cancel at any time. He also told me that the charges would be enter into my checking account as soon as they were entered.
I asked again to be sure, that it was a month to month service and that I could cancel at any time. He assured me that's how it work's. The only paper I signed was pink and had MSI, Merchant application on the top. He got info needed and I signed.
Nothing was ever mention about CIT, and at that point never even knew of such a company. The first charge I did never appeared, and finially I called the Rep Micheal Brownlee, and told him. Within hours the charge finially show up in my account. Three months later, I had made about 3 charges total, I decided using the machine was not a profitable thing and called the rep to cancel my services and to come pick up the machine. The following month, I still received a charge for the machine from my account. I tried the call to rep, who by know had totally disappeared. Another store down the road from me incountered the same Micheal Brownlee with the same story. I put to stop payment on the auto payment.
Then all of the sudden I got a phone call from someone for CIT leasing company. I said, Who? They explained who they were, I said, I don't have anything with you, I went through MSI. They began calling me at least 5 times a day, each time I said I never signed anything with you. Finially, I asked for a copy of the contract they had. It was sent to me. To my surprise, a CIT contract with big dark letter across the top, NON CANCELLABLE LEASE. It was filled out by someone else, with a look alike signature, and a witness signature that you can't read. The rest of the print on the contract I had to use a magnifing glass with my glasses on.
The person down the road from me report her case to the police dept. And DA of our county. I also filled a report. This is definitely consumer fraud. I never has asked or even know I was applying for a lease! And if I had seen such a title on anything I had to sign, it would have never happened. I was totally deceived, lied to, and RIPPED OFF!
They can report me, threaten me, and hopefully bring me to court, and I'll become the winner! That will have to be in California, my county court. So bring it on. Don't take their calls, hang up. I already told them to report me, but they keep calling like it's going to make a difference. I'm not paying one dime more. It's become a game now, what a bust, they need all that fraudulent money to pay operators and phone bills.
Report your cases to the better business bureau, DA, police, anyone interested in companies that make a living of RIPPING PEOPLE OFF who really do work for a living.
