Manifest Still Has Insurance Guarantee as US Bancorp
Manifest Insurance Policy
“In today's competitive marketplace it seems as though everyone is trying to get more from their current base of customers. Whether it is your lessee base or your vendor base, we would all agree that these are the lifelines of any third party leasing company. At Manifest Funding Services, we understand the importance of your customer base and we would like to insure the protection of these Lists with the following policy:
“Your lessee and vendor lists will remain confidential to Manifest Funding Services. At no time will this information be shared with anyone outside Manifest Funding Services. This policy holds true even if your company is no longer doing business with Manifest Funding Services.
“At Manifest Funding Services, we take this "Insurance Policy" very seriously. We understand that the cost of a "claim' against our integrity far outweighs any revenues that we might receive from a vendor or lessee that calls us directly.”

Norvergence Files Bankruptcy?
by Christopher Menkin
Leasing News has been writing about the troubles and background
of Norvergence for two years, quoting Robert J. Fine, who is the
Norvergence Bank-Funder contact under the title of Director of Strategic Relations.
As critics have noted to us, he also serves as the popular president of the Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors.
The complaints range from the value of the actual collateral to the service, with many warning that when Norvergence fails, it will erupts into a class action suit similar to the one that cost Microfinancial millions of dollars. The “distance” between financing and approving the seller plus servicer of the equipment
may be decided by a court of law or another jurisdiction.
In the course of looking into the complaints, with several be” satisfied” by the funders involved ( perhaps along with Norvergence, as we never learned the actual details, just the results that the customer's complaint was “satisfied.,” these following comments were received:
.The complaints are all over the internet and Norvergence is becoming the joke of the leasing industry... reason that funding sources aren't coming forward is that they are scared if they blow the whistle and stop funding Norvergence the house of card will fall very quickly ‘pyramid scheme'."
“I think the thing that scares me most with my clients asking me "what to do and what do you think I should do?" is 2 things: 1) The CEO is Peter Salzano, brother to Tom Salzano (who in fact is the "silent” Chief), who if you type his name in a "search", his name is not good in the industry. He cannot be named as an executive because he is wrathed in litigation of slamming in his past ownership companies who have since ALL filed Chapter 11...Minimum Rate Pricing, Inc, Parcel Consultants Inc, National Tele-communications, Inc. So the history of these brothers that they are fly-by-night, make-a-quick $ and leave customers in the rubble and giving this industry more bad apples to deal with.”
” Norvergence is truly a scam and this is how it works. The "Screening Manager" (better known as a "Salesperson") collects telecom bills from the company they are meeting with. The company's current costs are added up; Norvergence then reduces that cost by 30%. Once that number is determined, Norvergence then backs out the cost of the T1 and the Unlimited Cellular to determine that company's "Matrix" box price. All current costs, less 30%, nominal T1, and cellular costs are applied to the price of the box. That is why they can't put a price on the box. They have to figure out how much a company is
currently spending and squeeze every last dime into the cost of the box. The customer is then bound to the 5 year agreement with the bank, regardless of service level provided by Norvergence..”
” The box has nothing to do with the savings, it is a way for Norvergence to claim its' value so they can charge the customer all of their current telecommunications expenses less the 20% or 30% discount. Norvergence puts all of the value in the box and then it is then funded through a bank. Norvergence receives 5 years of Telecom upfront. Now if the customer is unhappy with the service (I've seen several complaints about the cellular portion of the solution) TOO BAD! The customer has signed a binding document with a bank. In reality, they are paying a bank for their telecom.”
' This magical box is nothing more than an Adtran IAD (Integrated Access Device retailing for about $500). The really sad thing is that if a customer is just getting DSL or Cable High speed internet, the box does absolutely nothing!!!”
” I called Nortel corporate headquarters today, and was indeed notified that litigation is pending against Norvergence for misrepresentation. I was told this is part of Norvergence's attempt to lure new customers. They are not a business partner. Nortel informed me that they may be reselling some Nortel hardware, although that would not have been obtained from Nortel as a Nortel reseller.
The problem is signing a contract with a third party leasing company for five years. If Norvergence goes out of business in a year, you are stuck paying for worthless equipment and have to go back to your current system.”
Leasing News is attempting to obtain a statement from Norvergence, plus confirm or deny the television news reports that the company has filed for bankruptcy protection.

This Day in American History
1526 -The first European settlement in what is now located in South Carolina,
San Miguel de Guadalupe, was established by Lucas Vazsquez de Vyllon, who led some 500 or 600 settlers from Hispaniola to this coast location. The site of the settlement was thought to be just north of the Peedee Rive. Many of the settlers died of fever. After Ayllon succumbed himself on October 18, the approximately 150 surviving settlers returned to Hispaniola. The Spanish were the first group interested in this part of the America's, Juan Ponce de Leon discovering Florida, claiming it for the King of Spain. Members of his expedition reached the Mississippi River, and Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo not only went as far as Mexico, but in 1542, also landed near what is now Ballast Point, San Diego, then discovered Santa Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, the Santa Barbara Channel, and other West Coast landmarks, which bear the names he gave them today.
1747-American naval officer born at Kirkbean, Scotland. Remembered for his victory in the battle of his ship, the Bonhomme Richard, with the British frigate Serapis, Sept 23, 1779. When Jones was queried: "Do you ask for quarter?" he made his famous reply: "I have not yet begun to fight!" Jones was victorious, but the Bonhomme Richard, badly damaged, sank two days later. Jones died at Paris, France, July 18, 1792.
1757 –Birthday of William McKendree, colonial American church leader. In 1808 he was ordained the first American-born bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
1776-The Pennsylvania Evening Post of Philadelphia, PA was the first newspaper to publish the Declaration of Independence.
1847—Birthday of Ellen Martin Henrotin - wealthy U.S. widow who used her money to make the 1893 Chicago World's Fair the national focal point for feminist activity. Most importantly, she lead a committee that forced the closing of hundreds of brothels in Chicago and brought about the downfall of the flourishing "white slavery" trade in which women were kidnapped into prostitution.
1865-Birthday of Mina Miller , the seventh of eleven children. She met Thomas Edison at the home of a mutual friend of her father and Edison, the inventor Ezra Gilliland. Her future husband claims he taught her Morse code so that they could converse in secret, even while the family watched. This is how Edison claims he proposed marriage and how she responded "yes." The two married on February 24, 1886. The couple moved into Glenmont, the Edison's' new home, after their honeymoon in Florida. At age twenty, the new Mrs. Edison became a stepmother to Mary's three children. It was not an easy task. She was less than ten years older than stepdaughter Marion. Although Mina tried to nurture her new family, Marion later described Mina as "too young to be a mother but too old to be a chum." Her role as Mrs. Thomas Edison was also difficult: Edison frequently stayed late at the laboratory and forgot anniversaries and birthdays. Yet he seemed to love his "Billie." A note found in one of Mina's gardening books reads, "Mina Miller Edison is the sweetest little woman who ever bestowed love on a miserable homely good for nothing male (sic)" As Thomas Edison supervised his "muckers" down the hill (at his laboratory), Mina hired and supervised a staff of maids, a cook, a nanny and a gardening staff. She even called herself the "home executive." After 1891 she, not her husband, owned the house. (This protected the house from being seized to pay Edison's debts if he went bankrupt.).Four years after Edison died, Mina married childhood sweetheart Edward Everett Hughes. The two lived in Glenmont until Hughes died in 1940, when she once again adopted the name of Mrs. Edison. She lived at Glenmont until her death on August 24, 1947.
1858- Lyman Reed Blake of Abington, MA, obtained patents for the McKay stitching machine, which revolutionized shoe manufacturing, creating a new industry for New England, providing inexpensive and well-made footwear. The upper was lasted upon the insole by means of tacks driven through the insole and clinched against the steel bottom of the last. The outsole was then attached to the insole and upper by the McKay sewing machine, which made a chain stitch through and through to the inside of the shoe. the surface of the insole was then covered by a
lining. The machine was first put in use by William Potter and Sons, Lynn, MA, in 1861.
It was probably foot powered.
1871- The first baseball game between an all-white team and an all-African American team was played in Chicago, IL. The African-American Uniques beat the Alerts by a score of 17-16.

Both pared the first extra hole, the first sudden-death hold in the history of the tournament.
