We had a visa machine with Northern Leasing, we changed Merchant Companies the machine was returned, cerified receipt requested, lease and all payments where paid in "2007" . They just try to withdraw $134.37 for what they claim to be property tax on the machine since 2007. We did not receive a letter or any other notification prior.

A letter dated 2/28/2011 said that SKS had recently purchased Lease Finance Group, LLC. I had a lease of my credit card machine from 2003 to 2007. I paid all charges and the lease was completely satisfied in 2007. The letter strated that SKS believes I owe $68.20 from taxes that were not taken out during the lease. They actually took the money from my bank account. My bank says that they can't get the money back and my only option is to deal directly with SKS. I believe SKS is a bottom-feeder who knows small businesses do not have the time or resources to hire attorneys and follow-up on small amounts. They are probably doing this to thousands of small businesses.

file a complaint with the New York State Attorney general's office. The info is online, fill out the complaint form, mail it in. SKS must be investigated. The only way to stop this is to file a complaint with the NYS Attorney general's office. Doens't it seem coincidental that everyone "owes" basically the same amount? ($85 to $100). If everyone files a complaint, something will get done. It takes 5 minutes.
