MerchantScamology

The story of my effort to cancel an "irrevocable" contract with Ladco Leasing, whose parent company is Elavon, a merchant services provider. What began as my effort alone became an e-mail group of over 100 small businesses who were being taken advantage of by this company. We shared stories and information, as well as hope and encouragement to those who thought there was no way of getting out from under unfair contracts and the bullying at the hands of lawyers, collection agencies, etc.

Action!

Wow, the Ladco Leasing (et al.) merchant scam has finally caught the attention of the news media. Here is the text of an email I received late last night:

A news reporter from NBC 7 in San Diego has expressed an interest in interviewing small businesses who have been targeted in this scam.
