Clover Equipment Lease Ripoff: How to Get Out and What It Really Costs

If you're locked into a Clover equipment lease, you may be paying 3-4x what the equipment is worth. Many merchants signed leases without understanding the total cost. You're not alone - this is one of the most common complaints we hear about Clover.

Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

1

Calculate Your True Lease Cost

Multiply your monthly payment by the lease term. A $99/month lease over 48 months equals $4,752 - for equipment worth $1,200. Understanding this helps you evaluate your options.

2

Review Early Termination Options

Check your lease agreement for buyout clauses. Some leases allow early termination for a lump sum. Calculate whether paying to exit saves money versus continuing payments.

3

Negotiate with the Leasing Company

Contact the leasing company directly (not Clover). Explain your situation and ask about reduced buyout amounts or modified payment terms. They may negotiate rather than risk default.

4

Consider Legal Options

If you were misled about lease terms or costs, consult with a business attorney. Some merchants have successfully voided leases due to misrepresentation by sales agents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Clover equipment leases so expensive?
Clover equipment leases are typically offered through third-party leasing companies, not Clover directly. These companies charge high interest rates (often 15-25% APR equivalent) and long terms (48-60 months), resulting in payments far exceeding equipment value.
Can I buy Clover equipment instead of leasing?
Yes, you can purchase Clover equipment outright from various retailers. A Clover Flex costs around $499 and a Clover Station around $1,349. Compare this to lease payments that often total $3,000-5,000+.
How do I get out of a Clover equipment lease?
Options include: negotiating an early buyout, letting the lease expire, selling/transferring the lease to another business, or in some cases, legal action if you were misled. Review your contract carefully before taking action.
What happens if I stop paying my Clover lease?
Stopping payments will likely result in collections, damage to your credit, and potential legal action. The leasing company may also attempt to repossess equipment. Always explore negotiated solutions first.
