      Mr. *****,

      We have received the attachment which is a bank statement. This however does not provide any additional information to assist us in finding your merchant account number. If you can provide your ********************** services statement or merchant number that would be helpful. If you need to update your banking information, you can do so by calling the customer service phone number listed on your merchant service statement.

      Our understanding from your compliant is that you contacted Merchant One in July to request an update to your bank account however, it has still not been updated and you have received your funding. Please let us know if that is not correct. 

      Provide us your merchant number, doing business as name, business address, business phone number, old bank account number and the new account number that should be listed on the account. 

       

      Thank You, Fiserv

      I have been attempting to reach Customer Support for over a week to cancel my account with no success. I have tried every available option for getting into contact with customer support, to include calling all listed numbers, emailing support, using the *** option from hold and even had customer service attempt to reach customer support. All in an attempt to cancel my account. My bank account has become overdrawn due to not being able to contact and cancel. *** *** finally sent a cancellation form but refuses to address the rest of the situation.

      on 3/27 I closed my Mechant One account and after they were charging me for not using my card reader. The issue was reported to BB ******** and resolved by them sending me a check for the incorrect charges which was collected. The interesting part is a few months later got a collection again after the card reader was send back and cancelled for nearly 4 months. (4/10/24) system was cancelled. Closure request ***************. Need to understand what these costs are for since the system was only used once to test. No idea what these costs are for and they make it impossible to see what costs are for, but handing it over to a collection company ****

      On May 1st I reached out to Merchant one to cancel our service. We were no longer processing payments for credit/debit cards for our business so it may no sense to pay the $136.85 per month. I cancelled on May 1st by submitting a form provided by Merchant One via email, and I got an email confirmation back that everything was in order and would be taken care of.June 6th: I got charged the regular monthly fee again. I called the customer service number, and the customer service *** shared with me they bill one month in arrears, and that it was a justified charge. She assured me I wouldn't be charged again.July 6th: I got charged the regular monthly fee again. I called customer service and spoke to a supervisor. They informed me that I would be refunded the June and July payments as they were collected in error. I was told that would happen within 7 to 10 days. I was also assured I wouldn't be charged again.August 1st: I still had not received my refund of the 2 months that shouldn't have been charged. I called to inquire, spoke with a different supervisor, who informed my I should be paid sometime the week of 08/04. August 6th: I was charged for a third time for a service I cancelled three months ago. I called customer service multiple times, and still have not been able to speak to a supervisor. I was sent the cancellation form AGAIN to fill out via docusign, so I can only imagine what was done or not done the first time I filled out the form. I filled the form out via docusign and sent it back 4:00 today. I'm now owed a total of $410.55 for being billed the months of June, July, and August. And I still have no assurances I won't be charged again.

      I did receive the refund, but now I'm getting emails saying that I owe Merchant One money. I replied back to that email once again relaying the entire course of events AGAIN.  So apparently now I need some correspondence from your company saying I don't owe any more money and that this issue is fully closed.  I won't be closing this complaint until I know that I won't be getting pestered for more money that we do not actually owe.

      I can't even log in my account portal to provide you the merchant ID. The password that I have isn't correct. When I attempt the password reset it my account gets locked and I'm instructed to call for assistance. And when I call I'm placed in an endless queue to wait to a representative. I wish to be contacted by a representative via telephone. I'm tired of dealing with this and it's obvious that your company makes it nearly impossible to cancel your services. If I'm not contacted by Friday, August 9th, by a representative that can successfully close my account and provide a refund for unused services, I'll file a complaint with the State ************************** ************** is the best number to contact me at.

      We received a phone call from a representative to sign up with the *** system for our new business. The gentleman made it clear it was free, until at the end when he states $99 shipping. We agreed. Ive used this system less than a dozen times. On 8/1/24 I had received a payment on the system from a customer. When I go to check my bank account the following day,8/5/24 the amount deposited was not the amount received in my account. I contacted the bank immediately only to find out that there was a hold on the funds. I contacted your company and never spoke to anyone over the phone, only by message. I had been charged $198.13 for fees. The representative quit communicating and they are not open on weekends. I am infuriated, Id like what was debited from my customers card in the correct amount and fees reimbursed. I no longer wish to do business with this company.

      Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.  It is our understanding that Merchant One contacted you on 8/15/24 to address your concerns.  The Agent discussed your fees as well as the risk case where the Risk Team had concerns with validating some transactions processed and returned them to the cardholders.  You were educated on the risk process and how those decisions are typically made.  We understand that you wanted to proceed with the account closure and requested a return label along with deleted sales card information to process with another Company.  As of 8/15/24, the merchant account is now closed and a confirmation email was sent to you with a summary of the call along with the return label and sales information.  We consider this matter now resolved and closed.  If you have any further questions, you will need to reach out directly to Merchant One Customer Support at **************.
