Each time I learned of these additional charges I'd get distressed because I was not informed beforehand to know what agreement I was entering into. Additionally when I learned from the Dept of Commerce that I could've bought the terminal outright for so much less I felt I was scammed. My business is now 10 yrs old. Emotionally I worried over whether this company would originate something else and they did at the very end. Maria needs to read her lease to see whether all of the charges, past and present, are legitimate.
Chances are, they are.
These leases are generally ironclad and, yes, these companies are quite ruthless. It's an expensive lesson. Com is provided by ConsumerAffairs. Com is an independent service not affiliated with any government agency. For more information see the FAQ and privacy policy .
