    Anybody dealt with 'PaymentSense' Merchant Co???

    Ok, I am moving house this weekend, so I have little time for this. I do not have a post count of 30 or more so I cannot post links. My complaint is quite simple... 1/ That representatives of Payment Sense acted in a dishonest and underhanded manner. They hid within pages and pages of...

    I care not what their relationship is. They work closely together, they support each others product, and when a sales rep sells their products as a combined package, who owns who really does not matter.

    You certainly seem polished and plausible in your defense of Payment Sense, and your latest reply makes a bit more, sense... So you, and others, sell merchant services, on a commission basis, while not actually employed by the company. Much in the same was as double glazing or insurance sales...

    Anybody dealt with 'PaymentSense' Merchant Co???

    I am not about to get into a long winded debate with someone who "does not work for payment sense", although I question that statement given that you use their logo as your profile image. However I would guess your association with their organisation earns you some type of commission or reward...

    Mark, please do not add insult to injury. While I can understand you wanting to defend your company, what you have just written makes you look as dishonest as the rest of them. Remember, there are MANY members of this forum who had the same experience as myself. I am looking at the paperwork...

    Anybody dealt with 'PaymentSense' Merchant Co???

    Just had a call from a rather frustrated employee of First Data Global Leasing, who goes by the name of Chris. He tried to inform me about the various issues I will face for breaking my "contract", although as he admitted, on a recorded call, the "contract" was sold by Payment Sence, not FDGL...

    Starting Again

    Seems whatever she does will be painful, but bankruptcy seems a bit extreme.

    Starting Again

    Is there a "spongebob" plan for someone who just wants to wipe the slate clean and start afresh if they are not a limited company?

    Starting Again

    One of her worries was liability/back tax/penalties. I first became aware of the situation when her accountant informed her that she had to file 2 sets of accountants within a few weeks of each other, and she asked my opinion. I have not seen her accounts, but I know that she has not been...

    Starting Again

    A good friend of my wife's has a pretty successful service based business, but has got herself into a bit of a grim situation. She has mild learning difficulties, and from the outset employed an accountant to look after that side of the business, but it seems the relationship has turned bad...

    OUTLET STORE / MALL - what do you think?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone... so i told a small lie, we are not actually in the hairdressing business, but rather something that could be considered quite similar. I am scared of being to open on a public forum. When we entered the local market we were unheard of, and now we are doing...

    Ok, so an update on this fiasco. I decided just to take out the payment (no) scene terminal and went with another provider. I wrote to PS and told them that they no longer had permission to take money from my account and I cancelled the direct debits. They have continued to try and withdraw...

    What Trade Shows Have You Attended ?

    Many moons ago I was involved in fashion retailing, and this is an area I will be exploring again soon. Things have changed a bit over the years, so I am hoping you can tell me about any shows you have attended, and your impression. The two I have planned no visiting are Pure and Moda, but I...

    OUTLET STORE / MALL - what do you think?

    Ok, so we have a successful hairdressers, and are thinking of taking on a lease for another property. The property is located in an outlet mall, and due to planning restrictions connected to the development of the site, we have to have a retail sales offering that uses more space than the...
