Alert—CBIZ –Property Tax Payments
“I was informed by Lynn Lane (972-715-7571) of CBIZ that effective December 2005, they will no longer handle tax (business Personal Property) payments for leasing companies.
“This comes as a complete shock because I have been working with many of their representatives on delinquent tax accounts for many of the better known national leasing companies.
We only have the mailing address for CBIZ: 2009 Chenault Drive, Suite 100, Carrollton, Texas 75006 or 820 South Macarthur Blvd., Ste. 105, Coppel, Texas 75019 and for the lessee which leaves us with no alternative but to contact the lessee for the taxes or to levy on the equipment and sell it at tax sale.
“It is unfortunate that the leasing companies do not have a central organization that could keep up information on addresses, name changes and acquisitions. With out this information, it is impossible to locate and contact the companies that have collected the property tax.
CBIZ has put us in a position with no options. We will be forced to sell the leased equipment to satisfy the tax bills or have the customer satisfy them by paying again what they already have paid.
If you have a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,”

Oh, No, Mr. Bill! EFG Still in Business!!!

http://www.mrbill.com/mb-fun.wav
Brian Constantino, Sales Manager for EFG Leasing, Fresno, California states the company has moved their office, actually closing down Suite H, and consolidating into Suite F, and in doing so, SBC needs to come in and install new lines. Their new telephone number will be 559-227-2531. They will then also up-date their
web site: http://efg.artco.com/about.shtml

The president of the company, Ken Wheeler, has been in the hospital since the beginning of the week, he states, at St. Agnes Medical Center, 1303 E. Herndon Ave. Fresno, California. He is not able to come to the telephone, Mr. Constantino adds.
Donald Coleman remains as the chief operating officer, he continues, and they are “moving forward” as best they can. He was not aware of any leasing deals and asked those who have spoken to Ken Wheeler earlier, give him a telephone call. Should he not be in, ask the receptionist, Tamara, to make sure he gets the message.
http://www.wavsource.com/snds_2006-01-17_204955136471187/tv/snl/dog_show.wav
This is the second time that moving offices is claimed for the reason telephones were
not working for over a week.

Funder List
( for funders specializing in “Story Credits," please click here
for “Super Broker/Lessors,” who primarily place leases, click here
for "Broker/Lessors," click here )
There is no advertising fee or charge for a listing. They are “free.”Leasing News makes no endorsement of any of the companies listed, except they have qualified to be on this specific list.
There are an estimated 15,000 "funders" of leases in the the United States, including 7,640 FDIC insured banks, 1,226 FDIC insured Savings & Loans, and related companies such as corporations such in the business of insurance, investments, financial groups, and manufacturing. Many establish a minimum dollar amount, creating a line of credit ( portfolio) and specific requirements, accepting business both from a "broker/lessor" or "super broker/lessor" with "representations and warranties" or other "recourse" arrangements.
To qualify for this list, the company must be a "funder" and not a "Broker/Lessor" or "Super Broker/Lessor", along with an acceptable Better Business Bureau Rating and no history of complaints at Leasing News. The company may sell off its portfolio from time to time, but the definition is for a company or financial institution where 50% or more of its business is from actually "funding" transactions themselves. Leasing News reserves the right to not list a company who does not meet these qualifications.
We encourage companies who are listed to contact us for any change or addition they would like to make. Adding further information as an "attachment" or clarification of what they have to offer would be helpful to readers are very much encouraged.
( To apply to be listed, please fill in our Funder Form and fax to 408.374.3843 or you
may e-mail to: kitmenkin@leasingnews.org.)
