Businesses That Accept Credit Cards Being Ripped Off

Postby billdeserthills » 12 Mar 2017 16:20

I wanted to bring this up because I recently found out I was being ripped off by my credit card company processing co. and I understand that this is happening to most other people who accept credit cards also. On my most recent statement I noticed a new fee I never saw before, called Transarmor Solution -this costs me $19.95/ mo and I never signed up for this, however back in 2015 I received a letter from the 'transarmor company' advising me that my account was going to be charged this fee, if I didn't become educated upon properly processing the 'new' biometric chip cards. I actually passed their test on this, then I got busy and never thought about it again, until now. I called and couldn't get far with these thieves, so I visited my local merchant bank branch and the teller was good enough to get this fee cancelled. I also learned I have been illegally charged this fee since october of 2015, even though this is the first time I have seen it on my statement and I read these statements every month.

This insurance covers my business' liability in the event that a data breach were to take place at my business--This is the because since large corporations have been losing huge amounts of their clients secret info, now my little business needs to be stepped upon, apparently. I understand most (if not all) credit card agencys are charging similarly, so you might want to check on yours

I will check, but the only complaints I have heard on another locksmith forum was concerning First Data.
