Clover Mini credit card processor - lease
First Data is conducting unfair business practices as I am able to change my credit card processor, but have no means to use the terminal with another vendor like TSYS, for there is proprietary encryption and this Clover Mini can only be used with First Data (never explained to me), therefore the equipment (Clover Mini) is useless if I should leave First DataI am locked into a years lease with a credit card processor that I cannot use beyond First DataI am not in a contract with First Data's processing, but I am locked into a lease with equipment that cannot work with their competitorsVery unfair

A long contract was sent with the words 'Lease Term? crossed out and 'MONTH to MONTH TERM? (contract caps) written in

I called First Data to request a refund and discontinuance of service A supervisor told me I could discontinue the service only if I paid a fee of over a thousand dollarsShe said the fine print in the contract contradicted the MONTH TO MONTH statement on the first page

FirstData is a credit card processing companyI was looking for a new processor for our office, and decided to check out FirstDataAfter they sent me some info, they required me to fill out a form that included my social and bank account information to 'check pricing' for my businessOnce I received the pricing, I opted to not go with FirstData for primary reasonThe pricing through Sam's with FirstData is more expensive than simply through FirstData itself! For instance, the CloverFlex is for sell by First Data at https://www.clover.com/shop It is listed there for $Sam's sells the same exact device for $799!
So, I opted to not go with them, and made sure they never moved forward with my account
I called in on Jul and spoke to *** who said that everything was cancelled and no devices would ship out or anything
On Jul I got an email saying that

I was with this company almost years and I have been getting charged for fees that I don't even know what they are for
I was using first data for my small retail business On 11/11/I canceled my service with them because I was noticing on all my statements that I was being charged for fees that I was not even aware off Example of the fees:
Transamor Solution Monthly $
Business Advantage Package $
Account Minimum Fee $(this varies every month)
Non REceipt validation $
Account minimum fee $(this varies every month)
When I called on several occassions to have them explained the charges I never received a resolution I also asked for re-imbursment and was told that they could not do that I am extremly upset because I was getting charged all these "hidden fees" that First Data was not able to explain them
When I call to cancel service I was told that they felt so bad for me that they would be waiving the $cancelation fee that I was supposed
IF you have a problem/question,good luck on getting any one on the phone They are NOT easy to offer Personal Helpok w/computer help, but it generally takes minutes of answering prompts to get a PERSON
The credit card machines are helpful, BUT be sure to read ALL the print about the contact I was charged $for several months after I terminated the contact, returned the unit and was told I wouldn't get any more charges WRONG!
Do NOT use First Data or Merchant Services USE SQUARE!
My paycard was compromised (at a gas station I presume) This has been the WORST EXPERIENCE I have encountered in getting my funds back It will be approximately weeks until I have recouped what was taken from my account If this had been from my financial institution it would have been caught (I would not have had to figure it out on my own) and it would have been taken care of Instead, I have to wait for a dispute form to be mailed to me as they can't email it to me or get it to me any other way Then I need to mail it back and then they will investigate ADP is using this company based in Atlanta and Nebraska to manage their paycards I do have accounts at local financial institutions, but thought this card would be easily tracked for deposits and expensesThe customer service is outsourced to the Phillipinesyears ago, I would have expected this type of experience
