Asking for a friend who is not sure where to take the next step. Has anyone had any the Lease Finance Group company (abbreviating to LFG) - they lease credit card machines.  Friend has small business that used this company's machines. After selling the business, my friend cancelled with this LFG company because the new owner had their own plans for what credit card machines they use. After speaking with someone from LFG on the phone, friend was told that in order to do so, he needed to mail the machine back, which he did through certified mail to confirm it was received. Later, LFG sends letters that say he owes hundreds (I think it was around 700) for the equipment and for cancelling a noncancelable contract. Then receives legal threat letters saying he will be sued if he does not pay whatever amount. Fast forward to this year, where he finds that there are mysterious deductions from his bank account for over 10,000 that just says "legal fee." Asked his bank and they said it was from a garnishment in NY with a phone number, and they don't have more info but he needs to call that number.  It's a number to a legal office for LFG. Is this allowed and any advice on what he should do?
