SKS Associates/Northern Leasing Systems took $125 out of my company's account without authorization.

Backstory:
I closed my business account with Leasing Fiance Group (a company that has been purchased by SKS Associates.) in January 2011. They continued to bill me for another 2 months even though I called them and told them that my account was closed.  After the second time I had my bank block them.

SKS Associates:
Then today my accountant was doing my books and asks me what the $125 charge from SKS Associates is for. I called the number on my bank statement that's listed next to the charge. I found out it was the Leasing Finance Group account. The SKS Associates employee told me that they had done an audit and found that I owed them for back taxes on credit card rental equipment.

I asked the woman how they were able to access my bank account since I had block LFG. She said I had authorized them to take money out of my bank account. They had the previous editor's name on the contract, not mine. And that was from 10 years ago! (I DID NOT authorize SKS Associates to take money from my account. My account was with LGF and was closed in January. So how can this be legal?)

 I asked her to fax me a copy immediately of what the charges were for. She said it was their policy that they don't fax invoices and would send it to me in the mail. (They didn't even have our correct address on file). I then asked to speak to a supervisor. She said they were all busy on other lines.

I called my bank and asked them how it was possible for them to access my account when I had blocked them. The banker told me that they changed their name and that would allow them access since the block is based on names. 

I have signed a dispute form with my bank and they will be starting a resolution process. I don't know if i will ever see that money again. I also asked the bank how to keep this company from charging me for other bogus bills under other names. They said they would see if there is a way to block them completely. If that can't be done then there will be nothing for me to do except close my account and open it again under another account. But that's a crap load of work and i shouldn't have to do that because SKS Associates are crooks and helping themselves to accounts that they have no authority to take money from. I am furious that they are doing this and if this is legal (which I just can't believe would be true) then it's open season on all bank accounts.

This company took money from my account without my approval

I received an unauthorized withdrawal from by business account for $106.22 for what they say is back taxes owed from my Northern Leasing credit card lease from 2001 to 2/2006. I was not contacted prior to the withdrawal [apparantly they still have my bank information]. Not did they offer any documentation to prove this. This is something from 6 years ago!!! How much are they making ripping off the hundreds of clients over the last 10's of years??!

SKS Associates fraudulently took $100 from my business account. SKS said it was for taxes and filing fees owed on a Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. lease that I had for a business sign I purchased through Signtronix. The lease had been paid in full, including all taxes and fees, on May 26, 2007. SKS Associates had my checking account number because the lease had been paid to Northern Leasing via automatic transfer every month until it was paid in full on May 26, 2007 when I told Northern Leasing they could not longer debit my account. I contacted Signtronix and they are compiling a list of customers who have had money taken fraudulently from their accounts. My bank has blocked SKS Associates and/or Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. from taking any monies from my account. My bank is attempting to retrieve my $100. I believe I will have to close my business account in order to stop any future fraudulent debits from occurring.

I just left my bank because I was trying to figure out how a charge for $25.00 to a company, SKS, which I never had heard of accessed my account and removed money. I was able to find company info online, called them. Apparently they are a credit card leasing company. I was told they took over a lease I had and there was an outstanding debt. The lease ended in 2004!!! Not to mention, I hadn't even ran a card since 2001!! I was told that I had been notified via mail, which I HAD NOT. I never received a letter!! Also my lease had been paid in full, monthly payments had always been made by automatic withdraw of my checking account. So if I REALLY owed them money in 2004 why didn't they just withdraw it then?!?!? So now this new company took over all of our leases- which like I stated ended in 2004, and took it at their liberty to find "errors" the previous company supposedly made and charge us now!! What a great scam and great rip off company! I am lucky that it was only $25.00 when I have read previous posts where others lost a lot more. After discussing it w/ my bank the only thing I can do is, if charges continue, is to close the account I've had open for more than 15 years and open a new one. We all know what a pain that can be!! There has to be something that can be done to this company, sounds like a class action suit should be in order!!! SKS associates is a rip off!!! They are stealing our hard earned money they have no right to!!!
