I purchased restaurant equipment from Restaurant Depot and was referred to Time Payment for financing. Time Payment calls the financing leases. I signed a contract (account # ******** for ** payments of $178.88 plus $14.31 in sales taxes and $3.14 in property taxes. Total of $196.33 each month. Then I was sent an insurance binder for an additional $12 per month. A total of $208.33 per month. Time Payment has been charging my bank account $222 each month. At the end of the 21 payments they are now saying I owe one more payment and an additional amount of money based on the value of the equipment. That is not what I agreed to pay. I have the agreement. After looking at all of the other complaints it seems they are a predatory lender using terms like equipment lease to validate some of their practices. I have paid all of the 21 payments, at a payment price that I did not agree to pay. I want to have my financing of this equipment discharged and marked paid in full.Customer Answer

I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint.The business (TimePayment) continues to call and email me for a final payment and will not respond to my request for information on why they have taken more money from my account than I agreed in the contract. I requested information by email. They ignored my request and respond with my account is now past due.
I need an attorney who is willing to file a class action lawsuit against Time Payment Corp, for their deceptive practices. I googled Time Payment corp scam and many complaints were reported on multiple platforms.

FAQHello,I am enclosing photos from the timepayment portal site showing how my lease has been paid, every payment, in full for the 21 payments. Upon reviewing my payments on the TimePayment site I became aware that they were over charging my account each month for $222, not the contract price, not the contract price with all of the taxes and fees and insurance, a price that was beyond all of contract prices. I contractually agreed to pay $196.37 each month. A month later TimePayment added $12 for insurance to my bill. Even though I have business insurance that covers equipment and sent them the declaration pages for my insurance information. The $196.37 plus the $12 for insurance is $208.37 each payment of 21 payments. TimePayment routinely added additional charges to my invoice, without notice or explanation, and charged my account more than the $208.37. TimePayment continually over charged my account for more money than the contract price, without explanation, for more than 12 months. TimePayment overcharged my account and depleted the account. TimePayment has not credited my account for the overcharges, and have harassed me by phone demanding payment, and ignoring my concerns.The TimePayment user portal does not allow me to go back to the beginning of my payments. The portal is confusing with regards to invoices and payments and how charges are credited. Each month an automatic payment was deducted from my account without my approval of the amount. It was done through credit card billing and arbitrary. I had no say when the amount was charged or how much. On all other automatic payments I am sent a payment invoice.TimePayment has been overcharging my account and there is no recourse with them or their service. I want my account credited properly and not padded with extra charges that I did not agree to pay. .

I have a business equipment lease/loan with TimePayment, and TimePayment has falsely accused and reported my being late on the loan agreement which I am not.TimePayment has reported and is even charging me lates fees on a loan that they automatically deduct out of my bank account each month, but claims I am late by two different employees. The first employee I've spoken with claims to not now anything and said I was over 60 days late and would get back to me from our conversation last week.This week, today (1/16/2023) another representative from TimePayment has emailed me saying I was only 30 days late and the business has reported me to the credit bureau's defaming my character and causing current and potential creditors to view me as a delinquent customer.I've tried to reach out to ********************** numerous times with no succuss.Customer Answer

The business is a liar, it has received my payments as they are AUTOMATIC withdrawn, and my account has plenty money to cover the loan.
I don't control their automatic debits, they do, that is why in the beginning I wanted to do it manually, I knew it would be a problem with this young uneducated generation of today, as they know nothing and don't care about nothing but ruining other people's business because they don't have anything good in life.
I have bank statements telling me it was taking out, what the business did after that is not my concern as they do things automatically. The business is trying to convince me cash debits can fail a transaction, how when money is in the bank, if it was a check I understand, as checks can bounce, but not cash. **** once taking out is cash guaranteed as it needs to be there.
This business is obviously a scammer, as multiple others has had the same issues, which most is posted on the BBB, other complaints are elsewhere.
Furthermore, TimePayment has been engaging in other unlawful wire fraud activities on my account as they've sent me a ****** letter trying to embezzle money from me saying I need to send them a check for monies already paid, then 3 days later I've found out they withdrawn monies out of my account, same as what they demanded using a totally different name as what they've been using thinking I was stupid and didn't notice their double dipping which is now being reviewed with my legal department so I can then pass this off to the ****** for future investigation.

First, I'd like to point out that the number that the business provided was incorrect, as it is TimePayment that provided their number. That number ************** was a fake number connected to another business, and if they can't get their information correct, then as you see there not getting mines correct, which is why we're here now.
I did manage to find a number for TimePayment and when I spoke to the person (***************************, I hope correct spelling) claiming to handle this matter, ****** stated she was in the collections department and I was transferred by their employee to her, which would then be another incorrect information given, so as you see this business has a history of incorrectly conducting business.
But continuing, Ms./******************* has stated she is the one handling the BBB complaint I've ask her about, and she refused to assist me properly and told me she'll be turning this over to her legal department, which I said was fine, and when another person (********) got on the line she refused to help me at all. ******** just ended the call on me without discussing the matter or gathering any details.
If this is how the "business" operates than I don't think this matter will be addressed properly here, I will have no choice but to pass this on to the courts and then the ****** for further investigation on the unlawful financial wirings that TimePayment has been doing to my banking account.

I was informed by the monitoring company for my alarm system that my system would no longer be serviceable due to new 5G regulations. I reached out to my installer to resolve this matter to find that they had gone defunct or at the very least were not servicing contracts.At that time, on 02/22/2022, I reached out to Timepayment corp to cancel my subscription based on breach of contract as my alarm system was no longer going to be serviced. They informed me that I would be unable to have the cancellation go into effect immediately and that I would have to wait until my contract ran out. I explicitly told them I wanted that subscription canceled at the earliest possible time.They continued to charge me throughout the rest of the original contract period and are now charging me beyond my contract period. They claim I have to mail a certified letter stating that I wish to cancel my subscription without even giving a usable address in their contract. Per consumer protection regulations, the documented communication I made on 2/22/2022 is sufficient for cancellation. Moreover, I should be renumerated for the time period for which I was being charged while the monitoring contract was not serviceable due to breach of contract.Customer Answer

The account was only closed after having to submit extra paperwork. I did not receive a refund of the extra charges and was in fact charged again on January 31st. The extra paperwork was an undue burden directly in opposition to my rights as a consumer. I am entitled to a refund for the fees charged past my original enrollment period and for the fees during the time which my system was not serviceable due to breach of contract.

I purchased a product that required me to get a lease due to it being over $10,000 in price. That was fine, I agreed to the terms first given to me by TimePayment. The terms were that I was to pay a bit over $3,000 down and $643 a month for 35 months. I received a call stating that my payment for $709 was past due, which was odd because all of the communication in the past was a smaller monthly amount. When asked why the monthly increased they said taxes and fees even though I was under the understanding that taxes and fees were paid up front with the down payment. On top of this, they gave me an additional notice 1 week before the payment was due that I needed insurance or else they would add an additional $130 a month to my payment. Again, something that was not communicated to me when I agreed to the lease. I find this absolutely unethical and would request to have this company looked into further, as it seems Im not the only one with this issue.Customer Answer

I purchased a MinuteMan towing equipment and they recommended I use TimePayment for financing. The total unit costed $15,000, I put a $6,000 down payment and financed $9,000 through timepayment. However they dont consider it financing its a lease in their eyes even though I own the equipment and the truck title, they say im leasing it? Sounds like theyre trying to avoid some legal aspect. Now the nitty gritty, Keep in mind I financed $9,000. My monthly payment was SUPPOSED to be $351/month for 45 months + tax and tax processing fee which is supposedly a *** of $3.00. Well so far ive made 12 payments to timepayment for $5,135. That means ive been paying an average of $427 per month. If you - the $3.00 processing fee that means $424.00 from $351. Im sorry, why am I being charged 24% for tax? There are some months I was charged even higher! January I was charged $468.00, please let me know how does sales tax vary each month? because it seems to me you guys are just pocketing money. I still owe $15,000 on the unit somehow after paying $5000 this year alone!!!! How does it go from $351/mo for 45 months to $427/mo average after your taxes, because sales tax in ************* is 6.5% and sales tax in my home ***************** is 6%. This is outright robbery and scamming at its finest. If the entire unit costed $15,000 and I put $6,000 and financed $9,000, with an average payment of $427 i Am paying time payment $19,215 by the end of my contract. + $6000 dp that means ive paid $25,000 for a $15,000 unit $10,000 I am paying them for interest and taxes when the ENTIRE AMOUNT I FINANCED WAS $9,000 My monthly payment should stay THE SAME!!!! NOT change every month as you guys please!! I dont even get sent any invoices to my email or home address, I try to log into the website and it just gives me a white screen.Customer Answer

I have proofs of payment and emails trying to reach out regarding my issue and I do not get any response from them.

Time payment has been such an awful company. From telling me they didnt receive payments to taking my money without authorization. I would like to complain about them lying to customers who call their customer support. I called to make a payment and to take it off autopay so it wouldnt charge my card twice. I asked their employee if my account was on autopay and if it was I wanted it removed because I couldnt afford a payment 2 days later.He lied and told me my account wasnt on autopay so that means it was an unauthorized payment. All the calls are recorded so there is proof.Business Response

I came across this predatory lender in July. They put on a friendly face so that you will sign anything that they want. This company failed to disclose the fact that the contract that I was signing was locking me in without any way out. When I asked to cancel my order that was paid through Timepayment Corp they said that it wasnt possible. The contact was made before the 30 day **** and I was still told that I had to repay the money. I was also told that they would try to get the money back from ******************************** and if they couldnt then I would be responsible for the balance. The bikes original cost was $1508 if it isnt paid down in 12 months then the cost more than doubles. This has to stop. This so called finance company is predatory and needs dismantled.Customer Answer

I contacted the company to try and resolve this complaint just to be talked over, told that I am not able to get out of the situation, and felt really used. ******************************** will not give the money back to the finance company so that this is resolved.
