LeaseSource - LSI LLC
Complaint 239035 Details

A local salesman contacted me and set me up with a wireless credit card machine. He promised complete service, free supplies and quick repair or replacement maintenance. When the reader stopped working, I was informed that I'd have to pay for its repair or replacement, which I could not afford. I told them I no longer wanted it and asked if they'd take it back. They agreed, giving me an RA number. I thought the matter was closed until 3 months later when my bank account came up $330.00 short. It turns out that LeaseSource kept charging me regardless of whether or not I had the machine. I locked them out of my account.

They then called me and told me I could not cancel the service and that I owed them for some agreed upon period. I informed them that I was not going to pay for what I do not have and they threatened to sue. Because they'd taken back the equipment, I never thought they'd have a leg to stand on. But sue they did.

They obtained a judgment and have now seized my bank account. Interesting items of note: the "court" was an arbitrator, rather than a real judge; the court rejected a letter I sent, giving LSI a default judgment simply because I was not there; both LSI and their lawyer, Joel I Sussman, occupy the same offices. They seem to have made a cottage industry of this.
