      We closed our account In August of 2023. We sent in the account closure forms as instructed. However the account info was blank. It was a docu-sign so we were only allowed to sign it. We want the total amount of these "fees" (mostly inactivity fees) refunded to my account. The amount listed in the amount billed to us for inactivity fees and administrative fees that should not have been added to the account.

      Date: 02/12/2024

      We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Our records indicate on or about August 09, 2023, we received an 
      incomplete closure form missing the business name and account number. A notification email was sent to inform you that 
      we require further information and/or documentation to fulfill the request. Although we did not receive the completed
      closure request form, we will accept this complaint as a completed request for closure. Additionally, the company will
      initiate a refund in the amount of $430.35 representing August – December 2023 fees and waive the outstanding balance 
      for January 2024 fees in the amount of $122.90, upon the acceptance of this response the refund check will be mailed to the 
      address on this complaint.

      Thank you.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 21264236, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I reserve the right to reopen my complaint should the check not be received (and my account credited) in the full amount stated here. In regard, to the response received, this company sent me an incomplete closure form. As stated previously, the docu-sign document did not permit me to fill in anything but my signature. Why did this company send a form without this information filled in? They already had it. They knew I was cancelling my account. It doesn't make any sense. Additionally, I never received any notice requesting additional information. I will never do business with this company again.

      For the last three months I been calling them to collect the funds in wish I have not successful, for the last two months they have been telling that they have send a check and some other times they would said that they have not process the check and again someone else would said they send it in a diferent day and so on. These situation have has caused a lot of emotional distress and family problems and inability to pay bills and generate income to cover expenses for the business and the household.

      Because of these mismanagement and deceiving tactics has resulted in partially closing of my business resulting and loses and I realize loses for couple weeks and months.

      I signed a contract with PaySafe on behalf of my business in April 2021. I know longer use their services and attempted to close the account starting the beginning of January 2024. After numerous phone calls an emails I was not able to reach an individual to discuss account details or close my account until January 26th. They customer service agent and supervisor still would not furnish me with account closing papers to be signed at my convenience.

      Further, per our contract dated April 26, 2021 I agreed to a $19.95 monthly PIC non-compliance fee. There is no clause for fee escalation during the contract period of three years. However, the fee has steadily increased to the amount of $89.95 as of the November 2023 statement. Paysafe failed to acknowledge this overcharge and insists they are entitled to increase the fee as much as they would like during the duration of the contract.

      This behavior is both unethical and illegal. Being unable to reach the company to address the concerns allowing them to continue collecting fees and preventing account cancellation is criminal.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 21181190, and will compromise on the amount since I don't have the time to further pursue. I suggest, in the future, that Paysafe/Leaders Merchant Services be more proactive and transparent when informing their clients about fee changes and rates.  Include pertinent information in SUBJECT area of emails and/or texts.  Include account number in body of message, so clients know whether legit.  Pay attention to email rejections that don't go through and make efforts to contact client in another way, such as phone or texting. Also, you may wish to examine your contracts with clients, in the future.

      e used paysafe credit card payment processing service account # 9*********15531 for almost 2 years. The service fee were ridiculous so is every month PCI compliance requirement. We’ve decided to cancel the account on February 24, 2023 and filled the cancellation form online with a completed status. The credit card terminal was disconnect and never used since. At the end of December 2023 a checking account which was attached to paysafe was audited and was discovered that paysafe made monthly unauthorized withdrawals since March 2023. The total unauthorized amount is $993.57. The merchant was contacted several times and replied as the account cancellation was not completed and no refund. We had to redo the account cancellation on December 22, 2023 with a competed confirmation again. As of January 2023 paysafe refused to backdate and refund $993.57.

      Please note that requests for closure must be submitted in writing and signed
      by the authorized person on the account, in accordance with the terms and
      conditions of the commercial agreement between the parties.  The signed closure request form received on
      2/24/2023 was not signed by the authorized person on file.  Paysafe replied on 2/24/2023 "Dear
      Valued Customer,
       Your request has been
      received; however, we require further information and/or documentation to
      fulfill this request. Please provide us with the following items by responding
      to this ticket.
       If the requested
      information is not received within 5 business days, this ticket will be closed,
      and you will need to submit a new request. Thank you for your business.
       M*** ******* is not
      an authorized signor, please reattach the form to this email with the
      authorized principal's signature and name, so we may process your request as
      soon as possible. We have listed ARINA MAKAROV as the principal of the account".

      Paysafe did not receive the corrected closure form signed by the authorized person on file until 12/22/2023.  The closure form was processed, and the
      account was closed 12/26/2023. According to the signed merchant processing agreement
      all fees charged are valid.  However, as
      a courtesy we will refund $332.75 which represent the month end fees charged

      Complaint: 21137869



      I am rejecting this response because:


      I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the lack of communication and transparency regarding our account.

      Despite my diligent efforts to monitor emails, including spam folders, I have never received any correspondence for MED Lab Services. This includes crucial information such as monthly payment confirmations, account statements, and notifications of any changes or charges to our debit account.

      Moreover, I am perplexed by the inconsistency in the monthly payments deducted from our account. If, hypothetically, our account has not been closed, I would appreciate clarification on the formula used to calculate these varying amounts each month. The absence of checks and notifications for monthly subscription fees is particularly alarming.

      In December, we noticed three unauthorized charges, further adding to the confusion. I seek a detailed explanation of how this payment system operates and why such changes occurred without any prior notification or documentation.

      I kindly request immediate attention to this matter, as the lack of communication and transparency raises serious concerns about the integrity of our account with MED Lab Services. I expect a prompt response to address these issues and provide a clear understanding of the payment procedures in place.

      Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
      We’re ready to go through litigation.

Paysafe has at all times acted in good faith and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement signed and accepted by Arina Makarov.

      Closure form was not by principal owner therefore, closure request was not valid from February 2023, as set forth per Agreement.

      I have two merchant account with Paysafe Merchant Services. This company raised my prices without any notification. Customer Services has been very difficult to speak to as they never try to provide a solution and they keep giving me the run around and never provide a answer. It is very challenging to speak to anyone and have them address my concerns and questions. The representatives never can provide any assistance nor do they ever provide a representative # to identify who you speak with. They are sneaky about raising their rates without any notification.

      I have opened my Paysafe account on 12/22. I took my first credit card payment for $325. I realized that I missed a digit on my bank account information given during the signup process. There are 3 different merchant accounts that I have to sign into. Paysafe, I-access and Authorize.net. I have gotten the run around since Dec 23. Today a nice rep was able to help me get all of this updated. her name is Anabel. I spoke with a supposed manager named Joseph Marzouk who told me to apply for the 2nd merchants which I did while on the phone with him. After my bank account was finally updated. My second merchant application was denied. I did not want to apply for one this person had me sign up for one. What kind of service is this? Not only to solve my problem in the most unprofessional manner. Because I need to update my account I was put on a (merchant termination list) I have never used a merchants account before. So this makes no sense. Before we would accept payments from our customers through ACH on 30 day terms. I signed up for this to get payments faster.

      Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. Our records indicate that a merchant account was
      established on behalf of Zide Drivers LLC, pursuant to an MPA thereto, signed on December 22, 2023, and
      closed on January 08, 2024, by our Underwriting team due to TMF (Terminated Merchant File). The total
      transactional history shows $325.01 minus the processing fees of $22.56. We will issue the deposit in the
      amount of $302.45 via a check. Please note, the check will be mailed to the address provided to our 
      Customer Service team. 

      Thank you.

      Complaint: 21106002



      I am rejecting this response because:

      I was told after verifying my banking information that my balance would be sent via ACH. This was from Christian Salas. You guys have given me the runaround. Then you terminated my account by putting me on a (terminate list) because I wanted to update my banking information that was missing 1 digit. Now you are telling me a check. I will continue to complain to all said bureau's this is not a way to do business. I am lucky I did not process a larger payment as I would have been screwed dealing with this company. I want my name taken off of this termination list. I will also be filing a police report on this matter. I have done so relating my account be hacked at my banks and this will be added to it. Take my name off of whatever list you have. Period.

      We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Since you first applied on December 12, 2023, there was only a match inquiry, and the application was approved. When the second application was completed on or about January 05, 2024, our report indicated you were placed on a TMF list (Terminated Merchant file) which is against our  bank and Mastercard policy and caused the decline of the second application and closure of your merchant processing account. Please note, Paysafe did not place you on the TMF list. The rate and fees can be found in the signed Merchant Processing Application. The processing fees charged for the transaction processed in the amount of $325.01 were  charged as follows $12.56 in rate and authorization fees, as well as a $10.00 monthly service fee. If you have any  additional questions about the fees, please contact our Customer Service team and request a copy of the December 2023 statement.

      Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because: How can I get charged for a monthly statement when I did not even have this service for 1 full week?

      I canceled my account with PaySafe and sent them our equipment back in July of 2022. They told me that once I sent the equipment in it would be fully closed and there was nothing else I needed to do. They revieved the equipment and we got a new account with another pay merchant. They continued charging our bank account for a year after. My bank account was hacked and I needed to open new business account and transfer all my accounts to the new one and when they tried charging our old account it bounced back. I contacted them in August of 2023 and that’s when I realized that even thought they told me it was canceled and they received our equipment we were still being charged because we didn’t fill out a paper or something that I didn’t even know about. They put in a claim to refund me and then when they told me they weren’t refunding me I told them they needed to waive my last payment. I just found out today they sent it to a collection agency who is trying to charge me 3 times what the payment even was. I was on the phone with Raquel from PaySafe today who could not keep a straight story and kept changing things and acted like she was purposely not understanding what I was telling her. Nobody has been helpful in that company ever which is why we decided to change in the first place. They have stolen thousands of dollars from us knowing that we canceled our account and sent our equipment back to them. I’m going to be speaking to a lawyer about this. It seems they get away with doing this to people intentionally.

      Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. Please note that requests for closure must be submitted in writing and signed by the authorized person on the account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the commercial agreement between the parties. Our records indicate you contacted Paysafe on or around February 2,2023 requesting return shipping label and August 17,2023 with inquiries regarding the PCI questionnaire. Our records show we did not receive a written request for closure for the following merchant accounts DBA: Sinnerg Tattoos and Sinnerg Tattoos and Dark Art. The dates described in your complaint are after the closure date of July 2022 mentioned in your review. Please note both accounts were closed August 21,2023 by our collections department. Although fees charged in connection with your merchant accounts are valid, we will submit a request to waive the outstanding month end fees for June 2023 and July 2023 on both accounts as a courtesy.

      Thank you,
      Paysafe
