Square theft/no contact

Squareup is witholding over eight hundred dollars worth of credit card transactions belonging to me. The refuse to provide me customer support or address complaints. They claim to provide personal dedicated support to each customer complaint which is not true. Trying to get my funds from Squareup has been a complete nightmare.

We were referred to Square up ( as he said all good thingsa abut them) and signed up for it but had a problem.I then tried to contact them and with no avail there is NO way to and all you get is an automated service. I then googled other companies and I did find " SAIL PAY". I signed up with them and was able to TALK to a HUMAN They were VERY helpful and I also called back a 2nd time and again was able to speak to someone. The number to SAIL PAY is : [protected]. I was NOT impressed with Square Up AT ALL.

I call the [protected] phone number at 7:18am central time on Friday Sept. 09, 2011 and there is no answer just keeps ringing and ringing...most businesses at least have a recording with contact information or at least contact times information...I have an account with them but not even gotten card reader in mail yet...so I have not used this service...but all of this raises red flags for me...what I am worried about now is even if I choose not to use them they have my bank info and could probably rob me since the deposited a small amount for account verification and then took it back out...that they took it out and that they can dock your account for disputes means they have that kind of access to just rob you blind or even a little here a little there to everyone and they make tons of money.

I am having the same problem...they have claimed to make a deposit of over $600 and there is no record with my bank...There is absolutely no way to contact them via phone. If you use the above posters # it just rings constantly. They DO NOT respond to emails or tweets.

I have not received a deposit since 24 December 2010. It is the 12th Of Jan. they have over $1, 800. The customer support sucks. no phone number. u need to set up a cust no service ticket. then they get someone to help. well i have been waiting two days and no reply from anyone. For the High fees they charge i expect my money in my acc0unt within 3 days. I am going to change processors with a company that i can talk to someone live! even if its a chat session better than what i got now. Very unhappy

Square MIS INFORMATION

THIS IS MORE FOR INFORMATION RATHER THAN A COMPLAINT
THE ONLY TIME THAT YOU GET SCREWED -RIPPED OFF- CHEATED, ETC.. IS IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR DUE DILGENT AND ASK QUESTIONS GET ANSWERS IN WRITING.
I HAVE BEEN SALES REP FOR OVER 15 YEARS..NONE OF MY MERCHANTS EVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THE ONES I READ HEAR...
MOST MERCHANTS ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING...WHEN SOME ONE OFFERS THEM THAT THEY GRAB AT IT
REMEBR IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE..THAN IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PRICE A MERCHANT .. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SALES REPS WHO CHEAT PEOPLE..BUT THAT IS IN EVERY BUSINESS...READ YOUR APPLICATION...READ YOUR APPLICATION... ANYTHING THAT THE REP PROMISES SHOULD BE HAND WRITING IF IT NOT ON THE APPLICATION AND THEN INITIAL BY THEM AND YOU! CALL THE COMPANY AND VERIFY THAT EVERYTHING YOU WERE PROMISE IS IN FACT DOABLE!
THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF FEES.. CHARGEBACK FEES, PCI FEES, MONTHLY MINIMUM, EARLY TERMINATION,

NEVER, NEVER NEVER LEASE A TERMINAL...TERMINALS SHOULD COST NO MORE THAN $250 TO $350 UNLESS YOU NEED A SPECIALZED TERMINAL( WIRELESS, IP)

AS FAR AS RATES GO - DEMAND INTERCHANGE PRICING- FIND A SALES REP THAT KNOW ABOUT IT... ITS HOW THE CHAIN STORES ARE PRICES..IT MAY SEEM A LITTLE CONFUSING UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS...IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY...

FIND A GOOD SALES REP AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET REFERRALS FROM HIM...

OR CALL CONTACT ME [protected]@gmail.com. I WILL ADVISE YOU OR HELP YOU MUDDLE THOUGH.

Square DEPOSITS INTO ACCOUNTS

I have doing business with Merchant Services since May of 2006. It never seems to fail that everytime I have a large deposit to be deposited into my business account, it doesn't happen. But when they want there money for FEES that are outrageous they don't have any problems in that department. I have sent endless hours and time trying to either track my monies or for them to find it.
I finally had enough of their bull-### customer service crap, that I finally went with another company that I'm so happy with.
My advice to someone who is just opening a business DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. YOU WILL HAVE MORE HEADACHES AND PAYING FEES THAT YOU PROBABLY CAN'T AFFORD!
DISSATIFIED CUSTOMER FOR SURE!

As the days go by, people are living in a more convenient and secured. You can also save time and effort. Wherever you are even in your home or in your office you can buy whatever you want to buy through online credit card and I must say that every small businesses should have a merchant because credit card holders are even growing.

Square None

I have had nothing but the best experience from this company. I believe anyone complaining on this board is either a disgruntled ex employee, or even worse, a competitor that cannot handle their low rates and amazing customer service. I have been with them for years, and their lifetime warranty on equipment, and lowest rates guaranteed have always been honored. their sales reps are always available to assist, and their attention to detail surpasses any other company out there. I truly believe that a company with an A- with the BBB would not have this rating should these clearly unfounded complaints were the case. to Sandy, Mike and Sushi, why not disclose who you are if these complaints are true? why hide behind an alias? I understand that as a competitor, it must be frustrating to not have the ability to compete with their rates and exceptional service, but do you not think people will realize on their own this is all you are doing?

This company is by far the worst rip off card processing company I have ever encountered in my 30 years of dealing with card processors, Not only are there prices way more than other services offer. They also keep charging fees that they don't ever tell you about and when you ask them about it they tell you nothing or hang up or tell you you are wrong. There are many good companies out there that does the same thing they do for far less money and much much better customer service. Be Very careful and choose any other company than this or you too will have many problems with them, the same as all others that are complaining about this company all over the net.

Trans One Merchant Services is a scam. They have the highest cancelation fees in the industry. Ryan DeVitis & Russ McKelvy. Trans One makes their living by taking money from small businesses. This is not an upstanding company to do business with!

Square Fraud and scam

This company will tell you anything you want to hear. They will rip you off so they can make money. Rich Meeker and Joe Parisi are the worst. I did business with them and they are such good liars. They tell you are getting a wholesale rate but you are just paying for the lease. You can buy a new machine for $300-$400 INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A 4 YEAR LEASE! Please do not do business with this company. Their employees are very deceiving. It's not even worth calling in to the number they give you. They will not answer or you might get directed to Jim Grant who knows nothing about the business. This is to help everyone out there, DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY LIE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!

I have actually met with Joe Parisi and Jim Grant after doing business with them and they were very helpful. They set me up and informed me that the lease was 100% tax deductible, it paid for itself practically. I have no complaints and it was a pleasure doing business with Merchant Services.

Square Scam/Dupe

Be aware that when you get set up with this company and provide accounts for them, they'll retain the accounts and not pay you the residuals as they promise for all kinds of reasons. Also they have no benefits if they tell you they do. The amount they pay you up front is what you get which equals gas and lunch money lol!. Their scam? They get you to create several accounts and lock the merchants in and its their until you get frustrated and leave them. Then you'll suddenly realised you've made a huge loss as supposed to gain. READ YOUR CONTRACT! ASK QUESTIONS AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO WORK- DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY!

Square not with wells fargo but useing their logo

beware! I recently started a biz and opened a checking acount with wells fargo bank. My banker told me to expect a call from their merchant services soon in order to set up for excepting credit cards in my biz. So in a few days I recieved a call from someone caiming to be with leaders merchant services. I asked" are you with Wells Fargo?" they said yes. So I did all the paper work assuming that I was doing biz with my bank-Wells Fargo. I never thought twice about the fact that they may be someone other than who they implied. All of their documents that they have you sign have the name Wells fargo on the letter heads and use the name through out leader's merchant services contracts. So I signed up. I got pulled aside at my bank a week later - My banked said that because I did not sign up with wells fargo she would have to change my biz bank program to one that was a monthly fee. I told her that there must of been a mistake with wells because all the docs I signed had wells fargo name all over it. So after she looked into it she called and told me that what they are doing is illegal and that wells fargo is not leaders merchant services- But I had to deal with it on my end. So now I say beware it is easier than you think to get frauded. Leaders merchant services is not part of Wells Fargo- and they will tell you that they are just to get your account fusterated and betrayed- [protected]@hotmail.com

My funds were supposed to be released 09/08 as per my deactivation letter I've reached out multiple times and they keep acting like complaining about deactivation (either they're gaslighting me trying to get out of paying my funds because they know they [censored]ed up OR their clueless reps aren't reading the damned emails).

ALL PROCESSOR HAVE TO USE A SPONSER BANK... THAT WHAT IT SAYS ON THE APPLICATIONS...THE TRUTH IS THAT MOST BANKS DON'T DO PROCESSING AND IT IS DONE BY A PROCESSOR...MOST OF THE TIME THE BANKS CAN BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAT WORKING WITH A PROCESSOR... THE BANK MIGHT HAVE SAVED YOU THE BANK FEE AND MADE A COMMISION FROM THE PROCESSING WHICH WOULD HAVE COST YOU MORE.
FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN LENDERS DOESN'T FALL INTO THE CHEAPER CATOGORY

BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE THE PEOPLE THAT COMPLAIN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

Leaders is a LIE! They really are a SCAM
Terrible terrible company. I am finally getting out of my 2 year contract. I shouldve gotten out sooner. They charged me unexplainable fee's too.
With all those fee's it probably wouldve been better to leave the first year.
Service is unbelievably terrible.
Never go with them EVER! They steal your money away. Worst people to work with.
All very non-educated. All they know are about the additional fees they keep popping out at you for NO REASON!
STAY AWAY FROM THEM!
I will do everything I can in my power to have no-one, NO ONE go with them!

LEADERS Merchant Services would like to apologize to this merchant for the experience she has had with our company. We at LEADERS Merchant Services pride ourselves in providing our merchants with superior customer service and to hear a complaint such as this is truly disheartening.

LEADERS would like to address this merchant’s complaint regarding LEADERS Merchant Services association with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.: LEADERS contractual paperwork clearly states that we are a registered ISO (Independent Sales Organization) and MSP (Merchant Service Provider) of Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is the processing bank for LEADERS Merchant Services. LEADERS also has a copy of the merchant’s signature as proof of her signed understanding of this mutual business relationship, per the Association Disclosure, page 4 of 4, of LEADERS Processing Contract.

LEADERS would like to take this time to apologize to this merchant for the misunderstanding and we would also like to wish her well in all future endeavors.
