credit card lease agreement

If lease agreement has been tampered with -- the item listed was changed clearly you can see the ink and lettering is different from the lease in hand as opposedd to the one the company mailed me. Can I still be held accountable for the terms of this lease?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If any lease has been altered without your agreement, then it will generally not be enforced by a court. In order to seek a court to enforce the terms of any lease agreement, a party must come into court with "clean hands" and not have done anything illegal. Only a contract which has been mutually agreed upon by both parties will be enforceable in court.
