[redacted] as we cannot make adjustments to a merchant account from anyone outside the company that  does not show it has permission to make decisions on the merchant account.  As stated above, Higher Standards did receive a cancellation notice around 9/12/17 and promptly canceled the account on 9/19/17. As result of the account being open in September, the monthly September charges will also be incurred.   The Annual Membership fee of $79.00 and the Early Termination Fee of $500.00 were also collected per the terms of the Schedule A associated with the merchant account.  There was some confusion around the $79 annual fee being associated with PCI Compliance fees.  However, again the Schedule A clearly distinguishes between these fees.   There was also confusion regarding the Early Termination Fee reducing to $350 after a period of time.  However, this again is not detailed in the Schedule A as the Schedule A only calls for a $500 Early Termination fee.  Higher Standards should not be penalized for others actions or lack thereof as we have expenses every month a merchant account is open regardless if it is used or not.   Since no cancellation notice was received until September, the fees kept accruing.  The merchant should have a copy of the documentation signed by Robert on 11/12/15 that details out the information listed above.  Please let us know if you do not and we would be happy to provide a copy.Again, we are sorry there was confusion as we don't ever want any of our merchants to have a negative experience.   However, upon reviewing the documentation, we believe that Higher Standards followed the terms of the agreement and promptly acted when notified by the merchant.
