    My husband and I purchased a business that uses Toast, *** for it's payment processing. We decided to keep the system, but have had nothing but issues with their lack of customer service. The company finally got us the documents to sign to get the system into our names on the 7/14 after being contacted multiple times since the 5th. We purchased the business on 7/5 and they had continued to decline us the opportunity to remove the last owners from the system and put us on the contract. Since the documents have been signed and submitted on 7/14, they continue to deposit our funds into the previous owner's account. This situation has been brought to their attention by myself as well as the last owner without any resolve or response from the company. To date, 5 deposits have been fraudulently deposited into the previous business owner's account since the documents were signed and submitted. They are refusing to resolve this issue. The delay in funds being transferred to my account are causing bookkeeping issues and is disclosing private financial information to individuals who no longer own the business.
