Dishonest

I signed the contract with MBFon July 2016. They sent a very sweet soft spoken rep. I heard 16 months when contract came in the mail I saw hand written 60 months. Representative assured me for some reason if business closed down account will close too there will be no penalty, but if I am in the business and i switch the merchant company then i have to pay penalty and cancellation charges. In the contract its says $79.00 every month terminal leasing charges. They been taken out from account 96.41 and transaction fee 78.22. I got eviction notice and I have to closed my business on Sept. 2018. After much negotiation the Transmerit merchant closed the account. But MBF Leasing want they want whole money. I got very threathening call that they will take me to court put me in front of the judge and ruin my credit and i have to pay all the legal fees. Since then I am trying to explain them that I got eviction notice I had no choice but to closed down my business. They told me too to find someone who can takeover my lease. I also feel like I am trapped. They email me Amnesty Program and i did called them and again they sent me same letter. I am not taking any action this time because its no use. Please someone let me know what should i do I am in too much stress. I am in California. Thanks

Do not use them

We also had a 4 year lease. They were still taking payments after we closed the account. They say we still owe them even though they told me they were paid in full and returned their equipment 2 years ago.

The Quiet Scam Artists

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We like MANY other small businesses, were new at taking on credit card payments. The merchant services company teamed up with MBF to provide us with a credit card reader in 2012. We paid from 68 to 71 dollars per month, a total of 6,000 dollars over the years not realizing we were in the scam. Two years ago we returned the item yet MBF continued to debit our account. Wells Fargo could not put a stop-payment on this, so we closed the checking account and they began sending paper statements. This week, I got a Demand Letter sent to me personally (I am the CEO) at my HOME address. That is beyond the pale. We will be filing a Compliant with the BBB, State and County district attorneys shortly. These people are a classic example of white-collar fraud. The owner and MBF has been sued several times.

FRAUD

Idk WTH MDF Leasing is but thank GOD I get hits from the credit bureaus EVERY TIME something pops up on my report. I see a inquiry from MDF. Then I look them up. A credit card processing company? I use SQUARE and have been for the past 4 years. I NEVER applied to them.... Then I see they used an address I have not lived at in 12 years! I'm reading these comments like "Square gives you a reader for $10 that attaches to your phone" They are closed now but I will be calling these scammers first thing in the morning!

MBF is a NO END CONTRACT on their Processing Credit Card Terminal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
When signing up to lease the credit card terminal from MBF leasing for our business, The representative did not tell me I was signing a NO END CONTRACT ! Meaning, you CANNOT return the equipment without paying $577 after processing with them for 48 months at $35/month! The only other option that was given when I called customer service is for me to find someone to take over the terminal as a "new customer" for them! In other words try to hook someone else for them to take over a NO END Contract!! If I would do that, I would still be required to pay $130 to MBF!!! WTF !! WHAT A SCAM!! I STOPPED PAYMENT ON MY ACCOUNT ! THEY CAN SUE ME!

Need to be shut down and prosecuted

scammed me into credit card machines, over paid by $14000 to end lease. I had $250 a month for 60 months, I was told it was the processing fee but it was actually just for the machines, I was charged onto of that for processing. The machines can be bought on amazon for $600. The fine print is so small and the con man is very good. I never renewed the lease after the 60 month contract was up. I sent them the written cancelation as required and sent equipment back and paid for missing obsolete key pad. They proceeded to steal money (unauthorized) out of my account until I changed accts., now they send me threatening letters and harassment calls. All their employees should go to jail, they prey on small business because we are not as savvy. They are a total scam no one should pay them and the federal govt should prosecute them to the fullest extent. PLEASE PROSECUTE THIS FAKE COMPANY OF THEIVES If anyone is going to prosecute I would be interested in joining.

MBF complete scam someone needs class action suit against them. I just got sued by MBF Leasing for my small business that I sold 6 years ago for credit card services I never used.

I owned a small business 6 years ago and sold it. I was totally scammed into this lease with a woman sales person who came into my shop promising the lowest rates and gave me a lease that I could not read the print was so small. I was personally getting divorced and upset so I fell for this woman and signed the lease. When I went to call the woman for assistance she never called me back. I got no help. I sold the business 2 years later and returned the machine to MBF leasing and they went after me for 2 years of credit card services I never used. Finally they sued me and took a lien on my bank account. This company is so corrupt and they work with a law firm of Joseph Sussman that is completely probably getting kick backs and the judge probably does too. My mission now is to let as many people know about them as possible. On TV and the internet and with the attorney generals office. Be smart do not deal with this company they are totally scammers.
