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.

2018 Blog Update

Greetings! I am in the process of updating some of the info contained herein, including correcting some links that don't work anymore. In some cases I need to go back and find my original documents so that I can post copies of them.

I am disappointed but unfortunately not surprised that Elavon/Ladco Leasing are still up to their dirty tricks to take advantage of small business owners. I'm not a lawyer, but my best advice is to do what I did: do your own research online. I found info about contracts and unconscionability to be particularly enlightening. Check out the U.C.C. (Universal Commercial Code).

I hope that previous court decisions, including the one in my own case, will prove themselves useful in your efforts to beat these scumbags.

Cheers, Deb.
