I win with Visa.. Chargeback stands..
I called United Rentals and explained to the Manager what happened when the forktruck was rented. Visa number was on contract receipt. He said that shouldn't have happened but WHO was paying for the rental. I said " You are". He got mouthy so I did the chargeback. Now Visa turns it over to the Fed Trade Commission so they can fine them. Ist offense is 5k. He wouldn't call Visa to remove the charge, So I sent in the paperwork. They took the charge off..$495 buckaroo's

Argue strong and hard enough, maybe you will even convince yourself it is right. Don
Well the people at Visa must be right too huh? [;)] Unfortunetatly Adm. is wrong with the legal process in SC.
Sure,.....you got a chargeback because of the violation of policy.
Still does not change the fact that you rented a machine for a set amount of money.
You have a new card, and unless your card was with Bank of Dillsmacks, you are held harmless for any false charges.
Make a deal with the folks for a reduced amount, to make up for your time.
Geez!
I have the new card!! and did all the new accounts I have for this card. Just glad someone didn't run up a huge bill on Gunbroker or Adm. would be having a fit.0 -
Am I seeing things, or was there a sentence in the original post about not having admitted to Visa that you actually used the equipment you rented?
If I'm seeing things, it wouldn't be the first time, but if that is indeed the case...
Well, that's just dishonest.0 -
Well , it was dishonest of somebody using the card without my authority. And it was dishonest of United Rental to give my account to others too...[;)][;)] Life is tough..[;)] 0 -

Sometimes I wonder, how does a person get financially wealthy enough to own multiple vettes, build buildings to put them in, make trips around the country displaying them? Then, sometimes I read where they cannot keep a contractor, illegals built their house, someone stole their credit card number, rendering them not responsible for the charges that were actually theirs. Then I ask myself, ah, nevermind. 0 -
Do us a favor, when the lein is posted on the garage, don't post about it, we don't care. 0 -

First of all I don't live in North Carolina. Here is a clip of some Mechanic lien laws here. Pay attention it applies only to labor and materials. And it must be filed with the Clerk of Court.
"A person to whom a debt is due for labor performed or furnished or for materials furnished and actually used in the erection, alteration, or repair of a building or structure upon real estate," by virtue of an agreement with or with the consent of the owner or his agent, shall have a mechanic's lien upon the real property to secure payment of the debt. S.C. Code Ann. ? 29-5-10(a) (Supp. 2005). The right to a lien arises inchoate; i.e., when the labor is performed or material is furnished, the right exists but the lien has not been perfected. Preferred Sav. and Loan Assn., Inc. v. Royal Garden Resort, Inc., 301 S.C. 1, 3, 389 S.E.2d 853, 854 (1990); Wood v. Hardy, 235 S.C. 131, 138, 110 S.E.2d 157, 160 (1959); Williamson v. Hotel Melrose, 110 S.C. 1, 30, 96 S.E. 407, 409 (1918). When the person claiming the lien was employed by someone other than the owner, such as a contractor, he must notify the owner of the furnishing of labor or material in order for the lien to attach to the property. S.C. Code Ann. ? 29-5-40 (1991); Lowndes Hill Realty Co. v. Greenville Concrete Co., 229 S.C. 619, 629, 93 S.E.2d 855, 860 (1956); Shelley Constr. Co. v. Sea Garden Homes, Inc., 287 S.C. 24, 26-27, 336 S.E.2d 488, 490-91 (Ct. App. 1985).[3]
In order to perfect and enforce a mechanic's lien, the person asserting the lien (1) must serve upon the owner or person in possession and file with the register of deeds or clerk of court a notice or certificate of lien containing the lien amount, a description of the real property, and other required information "within ninety days after he ceases to labor on or furnish labor or materials for such building or structure"; (2) must commence a lawsuit seeking to enforce the lien within six months after ceasing to provide labor or materials for such real property; and (3) must file a notice of the pending action (lis pendens) within six months after ceasing to provide labor or materials for such real property. S.C. Code Ann. ?? 29-5-90 and 29-5-120 (1991 & Supp. 2005); Preferred Sav. & Loan Assn., 301 S.C. at 3-4, 389 S.E.2d at 854; Franke Associates by Simmons v. Russell, 295 S.C. 327, 329, 368 S.E.2d 462, 463 (1988); Multiplex Bldg. Corp. v. Lyles, 268 S.C. 577, 235 S.E.2d 133 (1977); Crystal Pools, Inc. v. Old Claussen's Bakery Partners, 303 S.C. 68, 399 S.E.2d 5 (Ct. App. 1990). If these steps are taken, the person claiming the lien may foreclose against the property to satisfy the debt. On the other hand, if he fails to take any one of these steps, the lien against the property is dissolved pursuant to Sections 29-5-90 and 25-9-120. The failure to perfect a mechanic's lien does not preclude an action on the debt. Shelley Constr. Co., 287 S.C. at 27, 336 S.E.2d at 490.
The time limits run from the same event: the certificate of lien must be filed within ninety days, and the foreclosure suit (and accompanying notice of pending action) must be commenced within six months after the person asserting the lien ceases to furnish labor or materials. The effect of these provisions is that the six-month limitations period for enforcing the lien necessarily commences no later than the date the certificate of lien is filed. If suit is not commenced within six months after the date the certificate of lien is filed, title examiners may assume that the mechanic's lien is dissolved.[4] Preferred Sav. & Loan Assn., 301 S.C. at 4-5, 389 S.E.2d at 854-55. A mechanic's lien is purely statutory. Therefore, the requirements of the statute must be strictly followed. Lyles, 268 S.C. at 578, 235 S.E.2d at 134.
In Wood, a residential contractor abandoned the construction of a house midway through the job. The materials provider had not been paid by the contractor. The materials provider agreed to furnish the rest of the materials, and the provider and homeowner agreed to hire others to complete the house. The homeowner moved into the house upon completion. Approximately one month later, the materials provider, acting upon a complaint by the homeowner, sent a plumber to properly complete the kitchen drain line by installing two pieces of pipe costing about $4. The materials provider subsequently served and filed a notice of mechanic's lien within ninety days of effecting the minor plumbing repair, but not within ninety days of the provision of any other material or labor. Wood, 235 S.C. at 133-36, 110 S.E.2d at 157-59.
The homeowner argued the minor plumbing repair was so "trivial or inconsequential" that it was insufficient to extend the time for serving a mechanic's lien beyond the date the bulk of materials and labor had been provided. This Court disagreed, noting, as other courts had in similar cases, that the statute does not specify any particular amount of materials or labor which must be furnished. Wood, 235 S.C. 136-40, 110 S.E.2d at 159-61.
"[W]here a claimant, after a contract is substantially completed, does additional work or furnishes additional material which is necessary for the proper performance of his contract, and which is done in good faith at the request of the owner or for the purpose of fully completing the contract, and not merely as a gratuity or act of friendly accommodation, the period for filing the lien will run from the doing of such work or the furnishing of such materials, irrespective of the value thereof." Wood, 235 S.C. at 140, 110 S.E.2d 157 at 161. The deadline to serve and record a mechanic's lien begins running from the date the last material was furnished or work performed, regardless of whether such material or work is insignificant and regardless of whether the final work is delayed, provided the reason for the delay is not to improperly extend the period for perfecting the lien. Id.; accord Crystal Pools, 303 S.C. at 68, 399 S.E.2d at 5 (warranty work performed by carpeting contractor five months after initial installation of carpeting, which was necessary to complete performance under the contract, constituted furnishing of labor or materials and extended time for perfecting mechanic's lien).0 -

They owed you an apology and you owed them for the use of their property, two wrongs don't make a right.
I hope for your sake there are more rental companies in the area who will still be willing to rent your company products once they hear you didn't pay for the equipment you used that day.0 -
