While attempting to purchase a semi tractor truck, we were contacted by Citadel Equipment Finance. The person who contacted us stated that we had to fill out the application online and it would be processed quickly. Through email correspondence with Darin Charan, we were told that we were approved for $30, 000. He also sent a list of the proposed payment schedule along with the steps for what to do when we found equipment. We were told that we had to pay the first and last payments along with a $495 processing fee. We located a truck and faxed the information to Darin Charan. He stated that he'd get back with us shortly. That was over a week ago. He has not answered calls, emails, or voice mail messages. We also tried calling the main number for Citadel Equipment Finance and there was no answer. Hmmm... makes one wonder how a business does not return emails or phone calls, and does not answer their phone. Upon further investigation with search engines, We have found numerous complaints, reviews, and a failing grade on a trusted Better Business site. We have also found out the DARIN CHARAN is also NARIN CHARAN. Seems awfully close doesn't it? Narin Charan is stated to be the CEO of Citadel Equipment Finance. Please be aware of this company and Nationwide Business Credit LLC. We found that Darin/Narin and Citadel Equipment Finance and National Business Credit LLC overlap too much. It seems as though they are both run by the same people/person.
