      I was charged on my business account, without email notice $525. For clover pos device equipment returned on Sept 15, 49 days later, in excellent condition. I took photos to prove such. This amount for restocking fee is exacerbated because there are no limits put in place for such fees. If equipment is dented and damaged I would not be filing this complaint to return my $525. And in addition First Data owes me $100 for over charging me on my lease that had already been returned, I have never received and have called 3 times to receive. I want a refund asap because this is ridiculous to do to your loyal customer. ???????

      I was told you are on my case. When I filed the complaint I was not aware till 7 hours later that the company whom accused first data of giving me that outrageous charge was not telling me the facts. Even on a 3 way with Clover & first data, clover employee kept insisting to first data employee that they are the ones who charged me a Restocking Fee for my returned on time POS devices.
      She stated No we have closed her account completely. Nothing is owed. 
      It took 7 hours talking to 9 different people at CLOVER merchant service **** and 2 at first data. 
      Hours on hold, I have videos and screenshots while I used 3 different phones calling Clover merchant services repeatedly for being put on hold over 1 hour per phone at same time, just to get to a Account specialist, which never happen. 9th clover person was a Supervisor who satiated oh we charged you this to reprogram your returned devices. If it was $125 I would have been OK with that. But $525 and no one could tell me for what after 7 hours is ridiculous, made up fee, no warning fee, out of blue fee and contract ended 3 months ago. This Exorbitant fee was done by Clover Merchant Services, NOT First Data who they insisted charged it for 6 hours out of my day. how do I edit or rectify my mistake here?

      I initiated services with this company July 28th 2022. The representative that called me to push their service on me assured me that they would be paying off my current leasing company and I wouldnt have any issues. 3 months later Im still getting charged by both companies. Ive reach out to first data numerous times by email, phone calls, and they havent even bothered to respond to me. I tried reaching out multiple times in house to resolve this matter as I will not be paying two different companies for the same service because of their lack of communication and professionalism. Im not ok with predatory sales and over promising just to make the sale and not being able to come through with it. I do not appreciate their lack of communication and sense of urgency. I work really hard for my money and I will not be throwing it away with this company. Now I want to cancel my service and this company doesnt bother to return my calls, emails, voicemails.

      I have spoken to Ney twice and another individual. I did exactly what I was told, and explained why there was a difference from what I had initially charged, when I sent in the proof from my end with my terms and conditions clearly stating how we operated. I have since had several detailed text messages with the client in question, ***************************. *** is stating now, that ***** has up to 4 times he can continue to dispute this. ***** is stating he is suing the customer for non ********************** and has closed this particular dispute. His bank is telling him it is closed and Merchant Services told him it was resolved. I spoke to a woman about 4 weeks after that ALSO told me it was closed and my money had been given back to me about a week or two before the call. I got on my online banking and confirmed this before letting her go. Then I get another letter for the same dispute. This is inaccurate. ***** and I are both in agreement on this and for whatever reason, your customer service individuals continue to misadvise me and it's very frustrating. I am entertaining hiring a lawyer if we can't get this cleared up and get me some actually accurate information.

      Thank you for contacting us with the stated concerns. The chargeback case has been closed and resolved in favor of the cardholder, funds have been returned to your cardholder. 

      The original chargeback was sent to you with a response due date of 8/13/22. We received your response, the chargeback was resolved and you received the funds. However, the cardholder continued the dispute and the information request was sent to you with a due date of 9/25/22. We received no response from you by 9/25/22 and the case was resolved in the cardholders favor and they were refunded.  The case is closed and considered resolved due to no response. 

      There is no further recourse through merchant services and you need to pursue outside options to obtain payment from your client. 

      Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or concerns.

      I have contacted the cardholder and he is telling me he DID NOT initiate a second chargeback. I ALSO spoke with your CSR and instructed them I had already submitted the information and nothing had changed and he told me that was sufficient and that I did not have to submit it again. Please pull the recording conversations for verification and proceed with the corrected path as soon as possible. This has not been ethical, moral and it has not be just.

      **************,

      Chargebacks are initiated by the cardholder or issuing bank, Fiserv has no control over chargebacks received. A response is required to all chargebacks, the paperwork sent to you provides a due date and instructions to respond. 

      Unfortunately, the chargeback was lost due to no response and there is no recourse through the card brands. If the cardholder is accepting the charge then you would need to work with him for payment as the funds would have been returned to his card. 

      Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any further questions.

      Your original complaint states that a new card reader was needed as the current one isn't working. We sent one overnight which should be arriving today, 10/27. There is no charge for a replacement as yours is under warrantee, we apologize if you were told differently, the $200 fee would not apply. The reader that you have was purchased so there was no need for it to be returned to us.

      BBB is unable to locate the business.
      About 5 years ago, we decided to set up our business with the ability to use a card reader. We contacted our bank and they suggested we go with First Data Merchant Services LLC because they did not offer the service. We took their advice and signed up to receive their card reader equipment. We used the equipment for the first year and no longer after that. We decided to return the equipment since we no longer used it.So first, I tried calling and calling the company and could never get them to answer. I contacted our bank to get a phone number since the monthly service payment was coming directly from our account. The number they gave me didn't work either.After about a year, we got a letter from them saying that we could buy out our contract (or something like that) or return the equipment. I returned the equipment them, and, unfortunately, I lost the post office receipt with the tracking number. That was about three years ago. All of this time, they are receiving a payment that comes directly from our bank for roughly $10.75 a month. The bank cannot cancel the payment because it is a contract between us and First Data.I got another phone number and have called about five times to cancel this. My last conversation consisted of my telling the person on the other end that I sent the equipment back a few years ago and he kept saying they do not have record of my sending it back. I said "I get it, you don't have record of it, but I also don't have the equipment to send again so how do we solve this?" He replied that he would check into it and get back to me through the mail. The only letter that I have received from them is that they are going to charge me an additional $10.20 for the 2021 tax year.I feel like I have tried everything to resolve this and am just stuck paying a monthly fee of $10.75 for the rest of my life. I've already paid about $400 for equipment I do not have in my possession. Can I please have some help in resolving this issue? Thank you!

      Representative with First Data/Clover gave me information about switching to their credit card processing. He promised me that the monthly fees would only be $10/month and then interchange plus on transactions. I specifically asked if there were going to be any other hidden fees and he replied no. He sold me on a portable machine that cost $800 and something. I asked if their POS system was similar to square and he said yes. I also asked him if I could process online transactions through my website and he said yes we could. I specifically asked again about added fees and nothing. After receiving the machine I found out it doesn't even have a POS system on it and you have to pay an extra $10/month to get POS software, I stupidly did this because without it the machine would be worthless to me and then I found out there's even more monthly fees if you want any features that will make it work for my business at all so I was lied to about the fees and the functionality of the **** It would cost me at least $30/month to get something that would work like I was promised it would. I tried to get integrated into my website and then find out it's an additional $30/month to do this. I was lied to again and the agent had told me there were no other fees other than the $10/month which broke down to $5/month warranty and $5/month admin. So now I'm trying to cancel everything because of the lies and return the machine and they want $500 cancelation fee. If I had just changed my mind sure, it would be my fault but I feel I shouldn't pay this fee due to being lied to on the functionality of the service and equipment. I've spent countless hours with their customer service and if they just refund me all the charges from the beginning I'll resolve this complaint. If not then I'll take to small claims court and add in charges for my time spent trying to deal with this.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [Even if I was able to integrate into the website it still doesn't change the fact I was lied to about the fees for a functioning *** system and the fact paying for the *** system still is a vastly inferior system unless you pay more money. It's more money for everything and that wasn't declared up front. Also I have cancelled my service and Clover is still taking money out of my account. Even though on the phone they confirmed my cancellation I still got money taken out. I don't wanna deal with a company that lies anymore.

      Regards,

      We have had a MID with First Data since Sept ****. A 2nd MID was added in 2012. A letter was sent to First Data in March to cancel services. (PO BOX ****, ********** **). They state they did not receive the letter. The MID added in 2012 was canceled 9-7-22 due to inactivity. Not cancelation request. The MID opened in **** (Ending in ****) has not been canceled and also has had no activity. We began receiving collections letters July 29, 2022 on the **** MID. I called and explained all of this information. I was told to call *********** to cancel service because collections is only to obtain payments. The fees sent to collections began when the bank account officially closed mid June 2022 and First Data couldn't withdrawn transactions fees. This was told to me via collections. First Data couldn't find our account ending in **** until 2 weeks ago. I was told no MID existed with those numbers. I was told I must be Blu pay, card connect or some other offshoot of the company. None of this was correct. I was told I had to cancel with my sales rep but I do not have one. He hasn't worked for the company in years and left in a corporate position.I finally got Marciella on the phone last friday (*****) and she told me I have to fax a form to cancel and she would email the form and it would take 24hrs *** to receive. I still have not received the form a week later. I am willing to pay and have stated that, BUT if I pay, they will continue to bill a fee monthly because we can't get the service cancelled. This was told to me by collections. They have honestly been most helpful.So ends up our MID is a ******* account that not everyone knows how to find is what I was informed. I am glad now weeks later customer service can locate the account, but this doesn't negate the fact I cannot get it closed and am being told incorrect information.

      I signed up with Clover for merchant processing on September 20th, 2022. The sales agent was very aggressive, but he was helpful and expedited everything very quickly. We paid the initial fee and signed a contract stating "No cancellation fee". I was also mailed a free Clover payment machine that was included with the contract. We never actually ended up using Clover for any payments before realizing that we need to use another company that was already set up with our database in *****************. On October 5th I called Clover to cancel our services. I was told by **************** that a representative from the cancellations department would call me in 2-4 business days. I called again on October 13th and was told they would have someone from cancellations contact me. I called a third time on October 17th and they told me the same thing. I called again today, the fourth time - October 21st and was told they would send an email to cancellation services and have someone call me. I asked to speak to a manager or someone who can help me and each time they told me that was not possible. I have had to put a stop payment on my bank account because on October 18th they proceeded to charge us for a monthly fee when meanwhile I have been trying to cancel with them for over a month. This company is extremely sketchy. The sales department is easy to reach and gets you signed up fast but if you need to cancel they never call you back and basically make it impossible to cancel your account. I would like them to get in touch with me to cancel my account immediately and refund the $22.40 that was charged to me on October 18th, 2022. Thank you
