White Paper: Legal Principles Underlying Commercial Businesses' Access to Equipment Leasing and Finance
(12/13/04)
This White Paper and several other resources have been sent to State Attorneys General and to The Federal Trade Commission. In a letter to State AG's and to the Chairman of the FTC, ELFA President Michael Fleming stated that, "We at ELFA recognize that your office has been looking at how equipment leasing works as part of your investigation into the NorVergence discount long distance telephone service matter. The association shares your interest in fully understanding how leasing works, its role in the economy and the legal principles of commercial law on which equipment leasing is based." Fleming offered that representatives of ELFA are interested in meeting with officials at Attorneys General's offices and officials of the FTC.
