I am trying to help a friend out whom owns their own plumbing & heating business, to look for some type of way for them to accept credit cards over the phone or by mail if they decide to pay that way. I’ve never done this and their a home based operation so we’re wondering if anyone has any experience or suggestions for this like who to go through or how much it typically costs.
Has anyone heard of TMG, Transtech Merchant Group? Beware! Its a Credit card Processing company. A woman came to my co. asking to compare rates with my current processor. I said I wasn’t interested but continued. After I got upset with all the questions and paperwork she was doing I questioned her. She got someone on the phone that told me they have to fill out an application to see if I quality before they can tell me the numbers, rates. I continued & signed without reading. Couple days later someone called wanting to program my machine. I was mad and said I wanted nothing to do with them and hung up. Now the sad thing is I am stuck with a 5 early cancellation fee or stay with a 3 year agreement, which will be more. It was all there if I read it and didn’t ignore it. I would like to get a hold of this woman but all I have is her name. Nothing comes up on white pages or directory assistance. What gets me is how this woman can live with herself know I didn’t want this and kept on and not telling me what I was signing etc. I know it my own fault. I should have trusted my gut feeling. Any suggestions?
First of all, I’m a techno-idiot. That aside, can I connect to the internet on my laptop via bluetooth from my cell phone on which I’d use a dial up connection? For my purposes, a monthly plan for a wireless connection via USB, card or whatever just isn’t cost effective. All I need to do is have the ability to process a few credit card slips mobily a couple of times a month. The POS plans & machines aren’t cost effective either. I do have Quick Books Credit Card Processing Kit which I can install on my laptop in addition to my PC. I just need a way to get to the internet. Usually, I’m not near a wi-fi hot spot.
Thanks!
I work 25 hours per week, so part-time is a "benefit" i guess. But I get no other benefits whatsoever. What do you think is a fair wage for my position of Office Manager (Administrative Assistant) in a small office in a Detroit suburb? My duties include: answering phones, handling customer questions, researching & resolving problems, invoicing customers, paying bills, accounts receivable, preparing & mailing letters/contracts, generating reports, monitoring, researching & ordering supplies, opening & sorting mail, preparing software and bindings, scheduling appointments, making cold-calls, monthly/quarterly/yearly tax reports & payments, preparing bank deposits, payroll, W-4s, W-2s, 1099-MISCs, making collection calls, processing credit card payments, admin assistant duties (i.e. order lunch, arrange travel for Pres), vacuum, wash windows & mirrors, empty wastebaskets, dust, clean desks, scrub toilets/sinks. Besides the minor computer & printer maint., I think I covered most of it
Finally dropping the Telco and moving data and voice services to Time Warner…
We have an old 4 Line AT&T Partner phone system (4 lines), an alarm and a credit card machine.
Line 1, 2 and 3 will go direct to the AT&T System. Line 4 with need to connect to the alarm, followed by the credit card machine and finally connect to the phone system.
What would be the best way to wire that so it makes sense to others and looks clean, proper, professional.
I can run network cable all day long, but get uncomfortable when I’m not just punching to a patch panel and rj45 jack.
I’ll be using a patch panel for our extensions. If it makes sense, I could use a patch panel for the 4 incoming lines as well.

No Where the Verification Time or the Process (Calling up your credit card and asking for Exact Amount…) is mention

To make a long story short, I had a merchant credit card processing account setup through the original creditor, Cardservice International, approximately 4 years ago. During that time I only made a few charges using the account. They were large charges and totaled just over ,000 altogether. These charges were never deposited into my bank account and I was contacted by a man working with their fraud management department. He wanted me to send out products before receiving the funds so I did not agree and I stopped using the merchant account. I also contacted my bank to block their access to my checking account.
Now they have hired the collection agency Allen & Associates on their behalf to collect the ,000 that they never gave me in the first place! I’ve obtained former bank statements from Wachovia and spoken to a branch manager. I attempted to send this information to Allen & Associates, but the agent on the phone refused to provide me with a fax number where I could send documents to dispute this debt and told me that I should just get an attorney because they will sue me. They did "claim" that a representative from Wachovia will be present to testify that the deposits were made so tomorrow I plan to bring the list of supposed deposits into a branch to get a certified letter from a branch manager stating that they were not. This invalid debt for ,000 is also on my credit report as of right now. I’ve disputed it and it was removed at one point, but it appears that A&A has reported it again.
I need to legal advice on how to proceed. I’ve tried to dispute the debt, but obviously they will not allow me to even show them the documentation I have to support my claims. If I do file a suit against them do I file against the CA or the original creditor?
Im trying to help out a family member who just a pool company. The average payment it ,000 & up. Prob about 50K a month MAX total. what are our best choices? Who has the lowest fees? How can I find out if the co is reputable? Does anyone know about www.merchantservicestotal.com ?
Thank SO much for your answers…I REALLY appreciate it!
I have a LG Voyager that my friend gave me.
My current phone [LG Dare] that I had with my family plan has been disconnected by my father [as a punishment] & I was wondering if it would work if go to CVS & buy minutes for my phone. & How do you activate it? I heard I don’t need a parents/credit card for this process; is that true?
Would I be better off using my Dare then the Voyager?
I don’t have a SIM card lol =/
i just applied for my frist credit card at citigroup recently, & i just got a call from a private number. the woman on the phone told me that she was processing my application & she repeated which card I was applying for & everything. It sounded totally legit, so I didn’t think about it when she asked my to verify my ssn. is this common protocol for cc companies? i wouldn’t know, since this is my first card.
Nothing seemed fishy about it, but should I be concerned?
Thanks for your help!
I don’t have any credit yet, so I can’t watch what I don’t have yet…
I actually called citi & they were not only able to verify that they called, but also the date & time. I’m pretty sure the reason for calling was that it was my first card, I don’t have any other account with them, & I applied online. Thanks for all of you guys’ help!
Hi
I am in 2 minds, the options for payment processing for my download products are:
http://paypal-ipn.com/
or
http://www.e-junkie.com/
?
i am confused why e-junkie charges by the month, and the other one above is a one of payment, maybe you get support and protection with ejunkie.
NOTE:
Merchant account is too expensive and costly paypal is cheaper & easier i have found, so thats why i chose paypal.
What are your experiences? advice please?
thanks in advance

Is it absolutely necessary to have a shopping cart to sell online? and are there any merchant account providers that have bundled merchant accounts & shopping carts? (i’m thinking its easier and cheaper that way…)

I need cashflow for my existing 2 year old business & am considering applying for a merchant account loan which is based on my credit card transactions. Are these loans risky? Or are they a legitimate way of infusing cash into the business?
