I recently had a small business. I leased a credit card billing machine from a company at the rate of $30/month for 36 months. However, after filling out all the information, personal and business related, I received a contract from another company that was sending the actual machine stating that we had to lease it for 36 months to receive a smaller payment, the $30/month payment. O.k, we did that.
Question: I sold my business just 9 months after opening it. I called the original company and explained we had sold the business and were closing and that I wanted to send the machine back. They said o.k., gave me the address to send it back, filled out a form on why we were sending it back, that was their instructions. Three months later, October, I start getting calls that I had not made the payment on the credit card machine. I explained to them that the machine had been sent back, when, and that I had filled out the form stating the business closed. Now they say that I signed a lease with them also for the same machine and that even though I sent it back if I don't continue to pay for it they will garnish my wages, file a suit against me, etc. for the remainder of the contract time. Is this legal and do I have to pay for a machine I no longer have?
Sincerely,
Darlene
