Wheel Equipment Leasing LLC d/b/a Y.E.S. Leasing v. David Robert Nielsen

Filed: Feb 20, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: David Robert Nielsen thought he was leasing a fancy Bobcat excavator for his metal fabrication business. What he actually signed was a one-way ticket to a $121,844.17 debt trap disguised as a piece of construction equipment paperwork. And no, the Bobcat didn’t eat his money. But the contract? That thing’s got teeth.

David Robert Nielsen is the owner of Nomadic Fab LLC, a Colorado-based metal fabrication shop that, judging by the name, probably builds custom trailers, off-grid cabins, or maybe even tiny homes on wheels—something mobile, something rugged, something that requires heavy-duty tools. And in June 2023, he needed a serious upgrade: a brand-new E50 R2-Series Bobcat Compact Excavator, tricked out like it just walked off the set of Iron Man. We’re talking a P82 Performance Package, long arm, angle blade, hydraulic clamp, keyless start, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen (because digging ditches demands Spotify playlists), and a fully enclosed cab with HVAC—because even backhoe operators deserve climate control. The total lease? $213,941.28 over four years. Monthly payments: $4,822.59. Not chump change, but for a business tool that can dig, lift, and claw its way through half a construction site, maybe it made sense—if the business could handle the payments.

But here’s where things go full Shark Tank meltdown. Nielsen didn’t just sign the lease. Oh no. He also signed an Unconditional Personal Guaranty, which is legal speak for “I, David Robert Nielsen, promise to pay this debt even if my company goes bankrupt, gets struck by lightning, or turns into a llama farm.” That document—attached to the lease like a legal vampire—means that even though the equipment was technically leased by Nomadic Fab LLC, David himself is on the hook. No hiding behind the corporate veil. No “it was the business, not me” excuses. This is a full-body financial surrender.

And then… the payments stopped. That’s the short version. The long version? Somewhere between August 2023 and whenever the repo team showed up, the money dried up. The lease was non-cancelable, meaning Nielsen couldn’t just say, “Hey, I changed my mind,” and send the Bobcat back. Under the terms, his obligation to pay was “absolute and unconditional,” regardless of whether the machine worked, whether the business failed, or whether aliens stole it. The contract even says: “Your obligation to pay… shall continue… regardless of any defect, failure or loss of the equipment, any inability to use the equipment or any other circumstance whatsoever.” That’s not a lease. That’s a hostage note.

So when the payments fell behind—more than once in a 12-month period, according to the default clause—Wheel Equipment Leasing LLC (a Miami-based leasing company doing business as Y.E.S. Leasing) didn’t mess around. They declared default, repossessed the excavator, and sold it. But here’s the kicker: the resale didn’t cover the full balance. After the dust settled, there was still $121,844.17 left on the tab. That’s not just the unpaid rent—it’s future rent, late fees, residual value, and all the other financial Frankenstein parts the lease stitched together. And since Nielsen personally guaranteed the debt, the company didn’t have to sue the LLC. They went straight for him—his bank account, his credit score, his personal net worth. The lawsuit was filed in Oklahoma’s Potawatomie County, where Nielsen lives, but thanks to the lease’s fine print, he’d already waived his right to fight the case in Florida—Miami-Dade County, to be exact—where the lessor is based. He also waived his right to a jury trial. So yeah, he signed away a lot more than just a lease.

Now, let’s talk about what Wheel Equipment Leasing wants. They’re asking for $121,844.17—the deficiency balance—plus $925 in expenses, post-judgment interest, and attorney’s fees. And under the lease terms, those attorney’s fees could be as high as 25% of the claim or $1,500, whichever is greater. So this could easily balloon past $130,000. Is $121,844 a lot for a Bobcat? Well, the machine’s original lease was over $213k—so yes, it’s a lot. But here’s the absurd part: the excavator was sold to recoup losses, and still left a six-figure hole. That suggests either the resale value tanked fast (possible, but unlikely for a new machine), or the lease was structured so that early payments were mostly interest and fees, leaving little equity built up. Classic “you’re not buying, you’re just renting money with extra steps” financing.

So what’s our take? Look, we’re not here to defend deadbeat lessees. If you sign a contract, you should honor it. But this case is a masterclass in how modern equipment leasing can feel less like a business transaction and more like a predatory maze designed to extract every penny, no matter what. The lease is “non-cancelable.” The payments are “absolute and unconditional.” The personal guaranty is “unconditional.” You waive your jury trial. You consent to jurisdiction in another state. You agree to 25% attorney’s fees. You let them put GPS trackers on the machine. You even give them permission to text you marketing messages—two per month, because why not spam the guy while suing him?

The most absurd part? David Nielsen didn’t just sign as the company owner. He signed twice—once for Nomadic Fab LLC, and once as a personal guarantor. He certified that the Bobcat was in “good operating order” the second it arrived. He agreed to pay taxes, insurance, repairs, repossession fees, collection overhead, and even the lessor’s internal $500 “collection overhead” fee. This isn’t a lease. This is a financial hostage situation with Bluetooth.

We’re not rooting for deadbeats. But we are rooting for transparency. For contracts that don’t bury people under liquidated damages disguised as “reasonable predictions of cost.” For small business owners who get sold the dream of growth, only to get crushed by the fine print. David Nielsen may have overextended his business. But Wheel Equipment Leasing didn’t just lend him a shovel. They handed him a financial sinkhole—and made him sign a promise to keep digging.

Koffler, President Dated: EQUIPMENT LEASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. LEASE. You agree to lease from the Lessor and Lessor agrees to lease to you the Equipment identified on the first page of this Lease under the terms of this Lease. Lessor may insert or correct any missing terms, such as Equipment serial numbers, after you sign this Lease. 2. TERM. Lease term ("Term") commences on the Commencement Date and will continue for the number of months set forth above. The "Commencement Date" means the earlier date that you accept delivery of the equipment or on which the first payment is due. 3. RENT AND DEPOSIT. You agree to pay Lessor Rent for the full Term in the amount shown on the first page. This Rent is to be paid monthly; however, Lessor may require rent payments to be made on a semi-monthly or weekly basis if any payment is delinquent. Rent is calculated based on prevailing interest rates on the date of this Lease. If, in Lessor's reasonable opinion, such rates increase, Lessor may increase the Rent payments. If all or any part of a payment is unpaid before the 10th day after the due date, Lessor may charge you a late fee equal to 5% of the Rent payment, or $25.00, whichever is greater not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If Rent or any other payment due hereunder is past due in excess of thirty (30) days from the date due, interest of 1½ % per month will be assessed from the due date. It is the expressed intent of the parties not to violate any applicable usury laws. In the event any amounts due are deemed to constitute interest which exceeds the maximum amount allowed under applicable law, such interest shall be reduced to equal the highest rate permitted by applicable law with such excess payments being applied to Rent in inverse order of maturity and with any remaining balance being refunded to you. The Deposit will not bear interest and Lessor may commingle it with other funds. You agree that Lessor may, but is not obligated to, apply the Deposit to any amount owed by you, and if Lessor does so you agree to restore the Deposit to its original amount. You may request the return of the Deposit after your obligations under this Lease have been met in full. Payments are to be made via ACH or remote deposit, initiated by Lessor ("auto-pay"). In the event you cannot continue with auto-pay for any reason, a $100.00 management fee will be added to your monthly invoice. If payment is made via other method, Lessor reserves the right to charge a fee of $38.80 or 3%. 4. DELIVERY. You agree that Lessor is not responsible for delivery or installation of the Equipment. You will not have any claim against Lessor if the equipment manufacturer, supplier or other Equipment seller (jointly referred to as "Vendor") delays in delivery or installation. 5. SELECTION AND PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT. You understand and agree that: (A) Lessor did not select, manufacture or supply the Equipment and has no expertise regarding the Equipment; (B) you selected the manufacturer, (C) you selected the Vendor and Equipment based on your own knowledge and judgment; (D) Lessor is buying the Equipment at your request only for the purpose of leasing it to you. (E) Before signing this Lease, you approved the supply contract (if any) between Lessor and the Vendor or have assigned your interest in the supply contract to Lessor. 6. IMPORTANT CONDITIONS. You understand and agree that: (A) LESSOR IS LEASING THE EQUIPMENT TO YOU "AS IS" AND LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), REGARDING THE EQUIPMENT OR TITLE THERETO. LESSOR DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND. Lessor agrees to transfer to you all warranties IF ANY made by the Vendor to Lessor. Any claims you have related to the Equipment, or any warranty therefor shall be made against the Vendor or other third party and not the Lessor. (B) Lessor will not be liable for any claim for loss, damage or injury to you or any other person or property arising from or related to the Equipment or this Lease. Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable to you for consequential, incidental or special damages or lost profits. (C) This is a "finance lease" under Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") and notwithstanding any determination to the contrary, the Lessor will have the rights and remedies of a lessor as if it were a "finance lease" under Article 2A of the UCC. You waive all rights and remedies under Sections 2A-508 through 2A-522 of Article 2A of the UCC, to the extent permitted by applicable law including the right to (1) cancel or repudiate the Lease; (2) reject or revoke acceptance of the Equipment; (3) grant a security interest in the Equipment; (4) accept partial delivery of the Equipment; (5) "cover" by making any purchase or lease of substitute equipment; and (6) seek specific performance against Lessor.

You understand that Lessor is not responsible for repairs or service to the Equipment. You will keep the Equipment in good condition, will service the Equipment as and when needed, and will provide all parts, mechanisms and devices required to keep the Equipment in good mechanical and working order. All replacement parts and additions will become Lessor's property. In the event that the Lessor shall be required to repair, maintain, pay taxes, liens or encumbrances, the amount so paid by the Lessor shall be added to the rental due and shall be due and payable immediately thereafter. 8. USE. You certify that the Equipment will be used solely for business, commercial or agricultural purposes and not for personal, family or household purposes. You agree to comply with all the laws and regulations regarding the use and maintenance of this Equipment. It is your responsibility that the Equipment be equipped and safeguarded to meet all governmental requirements, including but not limited to OSHA requirements, before placing such Equipment into operation. You will not make any alterations to the Equipment and will not allow it to be used by anyone but your employees or move it to any location other than set forth herein without Lessor's written permission. 9. LOSS; DAMAGE; INSURANCE. You agree to assume the risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever until it is returned to the Lessor and no loss, theft, damage, destruction, condemnation or requisition (any of the foregoing an "Event of Loss") of the Equipment shall relieve you of the obligation to pay Rent or of any other obligation under this Lease. You shall immediately notify Lessor of any insurance claim and Event of Loss of an item of Equipment, and, at the option of Lessor, you shall (a) place such Equipment in good repair and working order so that the Equipment is of at least the same utility, value, useful life and marketability; or (b) replace such Equipment with like Equipment that is at least of the same utility, value, useful life and marketability, with clear title to the replacement Equipment in Lessor's name not subject to any lien; or (c) promptly pay to Lessor an amount equal to the (i) past due Rent and all future Rent to become due during the unexpired Term, (ii) the residual value placed on the Equipment by Lessor at the commencement of the Lease, (iii) all late fees and any other charges due and to become due, and (iv) the costs listed in Sections 14 and 15 below. Lessor may require that you perform option (c) hereof whether all or only a portion of the Equipment is subject of the Event of Loss. Any proceeds received by you or Lessor as the result of an Event of Loss shall be applied at Lessor's election, in whole or in part, to repair or replace such item of Equipment or satisfy any of your obligations hereunder. You will keep the Equipment insured against all risks of loss in an amount not less than the replacement cost, and will list Lessor as the loss payee. You will also carry public liability insurance listing Lessor as noncontributory primary additional insured. All insurance will be in a form and amount and with a company acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, including as set out in any PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE ENDORSEMENT LETTER. You agree to provide Lessor with satisfactory written evidence of all such insurance. You agree that if you fail to acquire or maintain such insurance, Lessor may, at its sole option, acquire insurance for the Equipment, and the premiums for said insurance shall be an additional obligation to Lessor and added to the rent; otherwise, Lessor may declare the Lease in immediate breach and default. You agree you have no right to any insurance benefits from Lessor, and that you are still liable for all losses. 10. TAXES AND OTHER FEES. You agree to pay all the licenses, fees, assessments and to pay to Lessor upon demand for all taxes (including sales, use, personal property and other taxes) and other fees which may be charged regarding the leasing, use or ownership of the Equipment regardless of whether or not you have otherwise paid such tax. You agree that Lessor may pay personal property and or any other taxes directly to the taxing authority and, upon Lessor's request, you will reimburse Lessor for such amounts paid by Lessor. 11. INDEMNITY. You agree to and will indemnify and save harmless Lessor, its successors and assigns, from all the costs relating to the claims of loss, damage, or injury related to the Equipment or this Lease sustained by you or by any of your agents or employees, or by any person whomsoever, whether such loss, damage or injury be caused by (a) the negligence of the Lessor or of its officers, agents or employees, (b) any defect in, or aspect of the leased Equipment giving rise to liability whether in the form of tort or strict liability or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for use, (c) any other form of liability including incidental or consequential damages, or (d) any other cause. This promise will survive the Term. 12. TITLE & SECURITY INTEREST. You understand that Lessor exclusively owns and holds title to the Equipment and you agree this is a lease and not a financing; provided that if this Lease is held by a court to be a financing, you hereby grant Lessor a security interest in the Equipment and all proceeds arising therefrom. You surrender any interest, equitable or otherwise you may have in the Equipment to Lessor except for interest arising under this Lease. You will not allow any liens or encumbrances to be placed on the Equipment. For titled equipment, Lessor shall have the option of being listed as owner or lienholder on the certificate of title for the Equipment and such designation is not intended to change the nature of this Lease from a lease to a financing. Lessor is not responsible for any delays in titling caused by any party, and any such delay does not relieve you of your obligation to pay monthly Rent payments. As security for your obligations under the Lease and all other leases, loans and other obligations to Lessor, you hereby pledge all of your properties, assets and rights, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively the "Collateral") including without limitation, all of the following (capitalized terms in this sentence have the meaning set forth in the applicable UCC): Accounts; Chattel Paper (including without limitation Electronic Chattel Paper), Instruments, Equipment, Inventory and other Goods of any kind, Farm Products, Accessions, As Extracted Collateral, Documents, General Intangibles, Deposit Accounts, Letter of Credit Rights, Investment Property, Supporting Obligations, and records and data relating to any of the foregoing, together with any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, including without limitation insurance proceeds. You grant Lessor power of attorney, and hereby authorize Lessor to file UCC financing statements as Lessor deems necessary to protect its interest in the Equipment and Collateral and charge you a fee to cover documentation and other costs and in so doing does not waive ownership. The Equipment is considered personal property, and you will not permit it to become a fixture to real estate. You will not allow any mechanics' or other liens or encumbrances to be placed on the Equipment. Plates or other markings may be affixed or placed on the Equipment indicating that the Lessor or its assignee is the owner of the Equipment. You will not remove, alter or deface Lessor's ownership plates, tags, or identification on the Equipment. 13. DEFAULT. You agree that Lessor may declare you in default if (a) you fail to make any Rent or other payment for a period of 10 days after its due date more than once in any 12-month period; (b) you do not comply with any other term of this Lease or any other agreement you have with the Lessor; (c) any action is brought against you causing the Equipment to be taken or encumbered by a lien; (d) you or any guarantor of this Lease die, become insolvent, make or consent to an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file or have filed against you a bankruptcy, sell all or substantially all of your assets, change your primary business, ownership or management, make or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or go out of business; (e) you allow required loss or liability insurance covering the Equipment to lapse; (f) you fail to coordinate successful installation or re-installation destroy, remove, tamper with or deactivate any GPS tracking device on the Equipment. Furthermore, YES Leasing reserved the right to assess a $150.00 per week fee in the event Lessee breaches the terms in paragraph (f), above. If any of these defaults occurs, you agree that Lessor may take one or more of the following actions, in addition to other actions available under law: (A) Lessor may cancel the Lease and/or sue for; (1) past due Rent and all future Rent to become due during the unexpired Term, (2) the residual value placed on the Equipment by Lessor at the commencement of the Lease, (3) all late fees and any other charges due due and to become due, and (4) the costs listed in Sections 14 and 15 below; AND (B) Enter any premises where any portion of the Equipment is located and repossess the Equipment without liability for trespass or damage to the premises; or sue for a repossession court order. Following repossession: (1) All of your rights to the Equipment will end; (2) Lessor may re-market the Equipment without advance notice to you; and (3) Lessor may also sue for the amounts listed in Section "A" above without first re-marketing the Equipment. You agree that Lessor is not required to repossess and re-market the Equipment, and you waive any rights under law that provide otherwise. You agree that all sums due under the calculations above shall be immediately due and payable and be construed as liquidated damages rather than a penalty provision. The liability of all Lessees (if more than one) and any guarantors of this Lease shall be joint and several. Any default under the terms of any lease, loan or other contract between you and Lessor, shall constitute a default by you of all such obligations. Said default shall entitle Lessor to exercise all rights available to it including the right to repossess and sell any Equipment. 14. RECOVERY COSTS. You agree to pay all of Lessor's recovery costs after a default, including: (1) attorney's fees equal to 25% of the amount of Lessor's claim or $1,500, whichever is greater; (2) reasonable attorney's fees for receiving a repossession order; (3) costs of suit; (4) $500.00 to cover Lessor's internal collection overhead; (5) $450.00 to cover Lessor's internal repossession and re-marketing overhead if an internal repossession is made or attempted; and (6) all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs. You agree now that the above amounts are good and reasonable predictions of what Lessor's actual costs and overhead will be and are not penalties 15. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. At the end of the Lease Term, or if you are in default and Lessor makes a request, you will, at your expense, return the Equipment to Lessor at a reasonable place to be designated by Lessor. You agree to have the risk of loss during transit. You agree to pay Lessor for any damages done to the Equipment during the Term beyond "ordinary wear and tear". You understand that any person who refuses to return or prevents Lessor from repossessing the Equipment may be personally liable for conversion. 16. MARKETING. Signing this lease gives your consent to receive marketing information from Lessor. This will include up to two marketing text messages per month. Your carrier's messaging and data rates may apply. You may ask questions by replying "'HELP'" to any text message. You may opt-out of receiving these messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any text message. 17. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLEASE. You agree that Lessor may assign (transfer) any or all of its interests under this lease and/or the Equipment to a new owner or a secured party at any time without prior notice to you, and such new owner or secured party may also assign its rights. If that happens, you agree that the new owner or secured party will have the same rights Lessor had under this Lease but will not have to perform any of Lessor's obligations (in which case Lessor will keep those obligations). You agree that the rights of the new owner or secured party will not be subject to any claims, defenses or set-offs that you may have against Lessor or any other person. You agree that any transfer by Lessor would not materially change your obligations under the Lease or substantially increase your risks. You agree you may not assign (transfer) any of your interests under the Lease to any other person or sublease any of the Equipment without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor. 18. WAIVER OF GARNISHMENT EXEMPTION. In accordance with F.S. §211.11(2)(b), you agree that if it is determined that you are "head of a family", any of your disposable income greater than $500.00 a week may be attached or garnished to satisfy Lessor's judgment against you. 19. PLACE FOR SUIT. You agree that: (1) THIS LEASE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF FLORIDA; (2) YOU WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE COURTS IN FLORIDA; (3) ANY LEGAL PAPERS FOR ANY LAWSUIT WILL BE PROPERLY SERVED IF MAILED BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, WITH DELIVERY TO EITHER YOU OR YOUR REGISTERED AGENT; 4) ANY LAWSUIT, REGARDLESS OF WHO FILES, MUST BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE COURTS OF DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA AND NOT ELSEWHERE, UNLESS LESSOR AGREES IN WRITING OR ELECTS OTHERWISE; AND, VENUE IS PROPER IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. 20. MISCELLANEOUS. In the event any portion of this Lease is deemed to be illegal or invalid, it shall not in any way affect the validity of the other remaining portions of this Lease. Any notices required shall be provided in writing. Time is of the essence and no waiver by Lessor of any default shall constitute a waiver of any other default or a waiver of Lessor's rights. Photographs of the Equipment or Lessee may be used in Lessor's marketing materials. You covenant that neither you nor any other person who owns a controlling interest or otherwise controls you in any manner is not listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons Lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") or other similar lists maintained by the federal government pursuant to any federal law or regulation regarding a person designated under Executive Order No. 13224 or similar lists and you are in compliance with any Bank Secrecy Act regulations and other federal regulations to prevent money laundering.
