*************************** NP Adult Health PLLC along with the personal guarantee of *************************** leased a $50,000 medical devise. The equipment was bought and purchased by Partners Capital. Partners Capital leased the equipment to *************************** NP Adult Health PLLC. This was not a loan, it was a lease that clearly said "you do not own the equipment" and the lease also clearly stated at the end of the lease you must buy or return our equipment and until you do, you must pay the monthly lease payment. We have contacted *************************** NP Adult Health PLLC via email, phone calls and even via legal default letters by Partners Capital and our legal counsel 2 times in July, 5 times in August. Collections calls, collection emails, many lease payment invoices and many legal 10 day demand letters. Please contact us ASAP since this lease is now over 60 days past due. ******************************************************Initial Complaint

We offer leases and loans. Just like a car, the lease payment is lower because at the end of the term you need to buy or return the car. When your lease funded, the equipment was purchased by Partners, sold to Partners and Partners owns the equipment. We notified your business 90 days prior to the lease expiration and even mailed a letter and an invoice outlining the billing. Since Partners owns the equipment, we allow you to either buy, return or go month to month until one of these items takes place.

January 2023, we contacted Partners Capital Group, they acted as a broker to locate a lender for us to purchase a vehicle. They found us a lender and verbally told us the interest rate would be around 9% (We are unsure of the exact percentage because we never received any documents stating this). We were told we were approved for our loan and our payment is $940.31/month for 60 months. We assumed we would re-finance at a later date not knowing we would not be unable to. Our vehicle dealer amount after tax, license, and registration fees was $40,526.00 after we put $6,000 down. One month later, I contacted the bank for which we received our loan to get a payoff quote. They quoted us $55,478.29 (15k more). Confused, I asked the bank for the breakdown of the costs, and they told me I would have to contact my broker (Partner's Capital Group). After contacting Partner's Capital Group, they are refusing to provide me with a breakdown of my costs associated with my loan and told me this was not an amortized loan. I asked them why I was not provided any documents or disclosures explaining they do not provide amortized loans. They also refused to provide me a cost breakdown of my loan including fees, interest, etc. Therefore, I have no choice but to contact the BBB to get help with this company that is not being forthcoming with their customers. We would have never agreed to these terms. Their customers are unknowingly being locked in the full term of a loan without the ability to re-finance to a lower interest rate and without knowing any of the costs or fees associated with their loan. I would like the ability to have an amortized loan with an option to refinance at a later date.Business Response

Please contact us ASAP, we can try to help. Email ************************************************************ Below is our reply
All our financing is done with installment contracts, not amortized loans like a mortgage. Per the complaint, you agreed to make 60 payments of $940.31. That is what the agreement says and that is what you are being billed. You can pay it off at any time but you would need to contact the bank or lender.

Please know Partner's Capital Group has yet to provided me with any documents detailing my loan information. This company is refusing to provide me with any details of my loan. I do not have the exact interest rate applied to my loan (or total amount paid after loan is paid off), my loan origination fees, bank, filing fees or fees Partner's Capital Group received for originating my loan. This company wrote up my loan behind closed doors and in the dark and will not provide the requested information to me. I was never provided any documentation stating my loan wasn't going to be an amortized loan. If you are to choose this company to originate your loan, please make sure you ask them for this information up front or you will be surprised with a big lump payment added to your loan.Business Response

We do not provide amortization schedules. Your CPA or accounting firm can usually provide this to you. They should be able to provide you with interest, costs, fees or anything else you might need. Our Lenders License prohibits us from providing some of this information to you.
Your complaint says you agreed to $940.31/month for 60 months. The finance agreement requires you to make 60 payments of $940.31 so it looks like that is what the bank charged you.
Contacting the BBB in an effort to get an amortization schedule and a breakdown of interests and costs that only your CPA can provide is not the purpose of the BBB.Customer Answer

This company does not provide simple interest loans and they do not advise of this beforehand. I still have not received any documents showing my interest rate or fees applied to my loan. It's all done without customer knowledge, and I have requested this information multiple times and it still has not been provided.
My end of year tax statement reads " Equipment costs $35,999, total amount financed $56,418.60". I was completely blown away by the fact that even if I paid my loan off early, I still am liable for the whole amount of $56,418.60.

We have never provided a simple interest loan, our industry does not offer them. We offer Equipment Finance Agreements and Equipment Lease Agreements. Your CPA can provide you with interest rates and loan or lease amounts. We are not allowed to provide this information per our licenses.Customer Answer

In response to this:
"We have never provided a simple interest loan, our industry does not offer them. We offer Equipment Finance Agreements and Equipment Lease Agreements. Your CPA can provide you with interest rates and loan or lease amounts. We are not allowed to provide this information per our licenses
EXACTLY MY POINT: Verbally we were told our interest rate would be about 9% and when I later asked for documentation confirming these facts they are continuously denied just like above. Proves my point that this company is deceitful with their customers until they sign an agreement then they refuse to provide any documentation. They are now saying they are not allowed to provide my any details of my loan and to ask my own CPS to figure it out. Case closed.

Our company (******************************) worked with Partners Capital Group to obtain financing for some equipment we wanted to purchase. All went fine and years later we consolidated our debt into one loan and the bank handling the consolidation paid off the lease per their quoted payoff amount. Now a year later they are charging our account monthly again despite numerous calls and emails. And now the amount is escalating. The loan was paid off 8/2021 - charges started 12/1/21, then again 6/1/22, 7/1/22, all for $135.18. Then 8/1/22 we were charged $823.23! Getting proof of payoff and will upload that once received.Business Response

I will email as requested, however I have a record of at least 4 phone calls since January - most recently with ** on 7/8 at 4pm when he "promises to get back to me". I will get proof of payoff from the bank as well - though this was never requested with any of my previous phone calls.
