I was talked into this leasing scam also. I paid $137 for 48 months ($6576) for 2 machines that I have not used for 3 years. Now I can pay to return them and pay a $300 restocking fee plus still probably get charged for 2 more months... or end it now and buy the outdated pieces of crap for $800 Don't get taken by this company!

This company is unbelievable, charging me for 3 years for equipment I have not used, and saying I returned a "newer model" than they leased me and wanting me to pay 500.00 for this. I can't believe what a scam they have running, I am taking this to my attorney to see what can be done.

Leased a credit card terminal off them for 12 years and returned it with one month's lease check - which they cashed last September. They subsequently told us we had returned the wrong machine and wanted a different one back, which we had never had and they can't produce any documentation to show that we did. Now invoicing us for charges on this other machine and calling almost daily, including calling me at home at Christmas. I have referred this matter to the Middletown Police Dept.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !!!!! WARNING

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This Company is a bunch of liars and when you mail the equipment back they will act like they do not know where it is at and that was mailed to wrong location. (Was mailed to address we were given.) They will harress and threaten you . They have had law suits filed against them. If your Company is Dissolved Northern Leasing will harass the *** out of you. These people need to be shutdown. THEY are the meaning of BAD Buisness Practices.

Terrible Company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Beware of Northern Leasing. They are suing me for 3k and filed in New York City Civil Court. They have racketeering charges against them. They also have the NY AG wanting to shut them down. DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT have any dealing with this sham of a company. https://www.facebook.com/groups/126054****37062/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/231465****70/ If you have been scammed. Contact the Attorney General New York. Also contact your states AG. Another person that is investigating the company is Sarah Wallace of NBC Uni New York.

Disreputable Company NY State Filled Suit

I few years ago when I was naïve, about CC machine they came in and strong armed me to sign a contract. I missed the deadline to cancel. So when I got the machine it worked until it needed updated. It would not update because it was a machine that I should have never received (obsolete). Now they want me to pay them $3,000. I told them they can see my credit manager Helen Wait. They did not want to go to *** and wait. So they send demand letters. Their is a class-action lawsuit in New York. Google "Northern Leasing Class action lawsuits." They have names and accounts numbers. Mine was not listed. So they have to go to *** and Wait!

Machine lease

I called to find out how to return the equipment I leased, and am no longer using. I was informed that I have to call back 30 days in advance of the completion of the lease to pay an additional $100 to return the equipment and properly close out the lease. In the meantime, I will have paid $3400 for equipment I could have purchased for about $1400. What garbage. I even offered to pay off the lease in advance for a discount; no deal they said. This company is partnering with processors to sell you something you do not need. Do NOT listen to the sales pitch that you have to have a "compliant" machine. You can process through your own bank or Paypal.

NORTHERN LEASING LEGAL CROOKS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Feb 21, 2018

Illegal Crooks. not legal Crooks. Extremely overpriced not affordable and staff are rude.

Original review Feb 19, 2018
Do not do business these legal crooks Jay Cohen and Joseph Sussman PC or anything to do with his company. Run as fast as you can.

KICK THEM OUT OF YOUR Business establishment. Starting in 2011 I was in a contract with Electronic Payment out of Calverton NY for four years who Barney Kalman represented. After the contract was up I was contacted by Barney to resign up for my credit processing service again. I met with other processing companies but decided on Barney again because I trusted what he said.

The last week of July 2015 we met to discuss the options to lower my credit card processing fees. Many processors have been approaching me for my business. I have known him for four years and trusted him. He currently sells for ELITE PAY GLOBAL out of Henderson Nevada.

At Shaheen Mazloom’s request I faxed a copy of my latest Credit card statement and a savings of $1,200.00 per month was promised to me. The General Sales manager whose name is Shaheen Mazloom from Elite Pay Global/NPS out of Henderson Nevada said it to Barney and myself on two occasions. Barney confirmed it in our meeting Jan. 7, 2016.

Barney blamed Shaheen and his fraudulent deceitful and dishonest practices for saying that? I cannot even get through to Shaheen Mazloom at Elite Pay Global Company. The Four customer service assistants Brook, Nicole and Channel and Danielle tell me he is never there and will not give me his email or phone number. I have been trying for six months to contact him.

He Lied to get me to sign on to this overpriced contract. I made it very clear I did not want to sign a lease again for the two credit card processing machines because they are grossly overpriced to say the least. A promised savings of $1200. Per month over 12 months would be $14,400.

For the year. He used that as leverage to convince me into signing two leases at $100. Each per month for 48 months equating to $9,600.00. plus insurance and NY taxesYou told me the savings on processing fees would make up the money on the leases.

After speaking to sources in the industry I was informed these VeriFone VX 520 Cost only $169. Wholesale and $269.00 retail. I am paying $4,800.00 on each one over four years. WHAT A {{Redacted}} I was to agree to that.

Three weeks ago I took the time to analyze the statements and was shocked to learn that I was not saving any money but paying even more. They were supposed to save me $1,200.00 for the month x the last 6 months totaling $7,200.00, I paid more than with my previous processor. Plus, the two leases for the last six months = $1,200.00 I have incurred a greater expense and expected a savings . Now in order to get out of the four year agreements they have in the contract a early termination fee of $350.

And a unwarranted Deactivation fee of $375. and a minimum processing fee of $25. Per month that they are going to enforce on me if I cancel. It was my fault I did not research ELITE PAY GLOBAL because there are hundreds and hundreds of complaints on the internet.

NORTHERN LEASING COMPANY WHOM BARNEY SELLS for has thousands of complaints. I am mad at my self for signing on to them. WARNING RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. As I studied the first few statement the fees are outrageous.

Elite Pay cannot even explain what some of them are for. This is an unethical deceptive practice to convince me to sign these leases by promising me to lower my credit card fee rates. I will take whatever legal action necessary against ELITE PAY GLOBAL, Northern Leasing and Shaheel Mazloom the liar and cheat. The great news is that the State of New York office of the attorney General Eric T.

Schneiderman filed a lawsuit against Northern leasing systems, Lease Finance Group LLC, MBF leasing LLC, Lease Source - LSI LLC, aka Lease Source Inc., Golden EAGLE Leasing LLC, and Pushpin Holdings LLC Collectively, Northern Leasing as well as Principal Jay Cohen AKA Ari Jay Cohen, Law Firm Joseph L. Sussman P.C. and Several others on April 11 2016. The LAWSUIT accused Northern Leasing of engaging in illegal and Deceptive business practices in the leasing of Credit card processing equipment to small business owners.

The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the respondents from engaging in these practices, rescission of leases obtained by fraud or other misconduct and restitution. They will try to seek judgements against you but just contact Attorney General Eric T.

Scheiderman of NY and file a complaint. i hope Jay Cohen and Joseph Sussman go to jail and are fined hundreds of thousands of dollar in restitution for stealing from small business owners.

I fully agree with you. I am in Maine, and was duped as well by the daughter of and acquaintance.

They are the worst of the worst!! Both companies are!!!

Now I'm about to be sued by Northern Leasing Systems for breaking a contract that as far as I can see was forged!!! All writing and signatures except one, looks like it was electronically transposed and has missing parts of the ink, was filled out in someone else's handwriting, including the initialing on the second and third page of the contract.

RIP off

Bought a sign through Signtronix and was told i was financing $3,500 it has cost me over $7,000 with Northern Leasing. They want more money they are not getting. They should owe me a few hundred dollars according to the contract. Had to stop payment at my bank for future payments. They told me i was leasing the sign. My contract said purchasing. They will harrass you like crazy. They have caller id so block any number you call from. They are even harrasing some that i used their phone to call. They were told it was not my number and to quit calling.

BAD BUSINESS AND THIEVES

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought a sign that was financed by Northern Leasing. I had a monthly payment that was automatically withdrawn from my account. I noticed that my lease was up 2 months ago but payments were still taken being taken out. They informed me that I never told them to stop taking money out but if I want them to stop I just had to make a payoff balance payment. They took more money out of my account then the payoff balance would be. This is a scam where they hope that you do not notice that your contract has ended so they can take more of your money. Now they are telling me that I owe them over a thousand dollars of back payments and late fees and a payoff. I was never contacted in any way to let me know that my lease was ending or about to end. This is the scam. This company preys on people and harasses them for money when they actually owe me money.

Northern Leasing is a SCAM

I was scammed in 2015 by these people. Fall of 2017 I closed bank account to keep them from continuing to withdraw money.

It is now 2018 and they are wrecking my credit claiming I owe them 3 times what the contract would have been to complete at their 48 months when I went into the contract believing it was 24 months. Sales person representing them never responded after the day he was at my shop and sucked me into this SCAM. I am a very small seasonal business owner and trusted this was legitimate. The poor companies that have come since then I feel sorry for because I am NOT very nice to them.

I NO longer sign anything without researching the company name and certainly not with anyone who is persistent and literally hangs out at my business for the entire day to badger me with more data/information between customers.

I am so angry with myself for being so trusting and getting so taken. Northern Leasing Systems will hopefully someday get hit by KARMA and hit hard!
