I received a collection notice from Pavillion Payments stating I charged $50 to a debit card on a gaming site. The card charged is to a bank with which I have zero accounts. I have not opened an account with the bank listed, and I have confirmed with the bank that nobody has opened an account in my name, and there is no such debit card in existence. This looks like a scam to get a $50 declined charge plus a $30 processing fee. If the card doesnt exist and the bank account doesnt exist, how can I be financially responsible for charges to non existent accounts?Business Response

I am told that on 5/30/2024 at 11:50:41 I paid $50.00 to Draftkings. And It was apparently denied by my bank which would make sense if someone had tried to use my money on that site because I have never used and will never use their services. Now Pavilion Payments Check Services wants me to pay $50. I dont have any record of this transaction on either of my visas or my master card. I would like to stop being threatened over something I didnt do or because someone tried to scam me. Regards,*************************Business Response

I was at ********************* on April 29, 2024 and went to ******* and asked what my balance was. The teller informed me it was $900 so I withdrew $500. On Tuesday, April 30th I received an overdraft notice from our bank for $105. It stated 3 $500 withdrawals were made and ******** my account. Another $400 was withdrawn from my bank and a $300 withdrawal was made with my credit card. I never use my credit card to withdraw cash because of the fees.I do not have receipts for any of these withdrawals, which they give to you at the time.

I have been using VIP Check for almost a year. I happened to look through the transactions and saw that for nearly every withdrawal (25 total) I was being charged a $35 fee for supposed bounced check. I spoke to my bank and they said they did not decline these funds. And yet I have almost $900 in bounced check fees.I called and was able to speak to **** who was helpful but personally could not refund the fees and referred me to the payments division. He also told me that no reason was given by my bank as to why the payments were declined. My checks always clear for VIP so theres clearly something amiss and *** paid heavily for it.I hope this can be resolved.Business Response

Dear *****************************,
Pavilion Payments Check Services, LLC. is a third-party payment processor that specifically provides check and electronic check (ACH) guarantee services to its clients. Consumers are able to enroll in our VIP Preferred Check Cashing Program that allows them to link their designated banking account to conduct ACH transactions with merchants utilizing our service. Consumers who successfully enroll in our VIP program are granted a seven-day, revolving check cashing limit.
On 04.22.2022 the patron of record enrolled into our VIP Preferred Check Cashing Program with *******, our client. From the time frame of 06.01.2023 02.26.2024 there were several transactions that were guaranteed for our clients BETMGM, LLC and POINTSBET **. We have included transactions in the attachment that were processed and guaranteed by our organization where funding occurred for our patron *****************************.
Subsequently, our organization funded our clients BETMGM, LLC and POINTSBET ** and debited the patrons designated bank account on file ********************* the next business day per our terms and conditions for the patron of record.
The transactions that were approved by our organization and where funding occurred to the patron were returned to our organization by the patrons bank as Uncollected Funds. Although there may be several reasons to describe this specific return reason, typically it is the result of the bank receiving a check or ACH deposit, but the funds are not yet available. We have included the transactions that were returned within the attachment.
As a standard business practice and in alignment with our terms and service, our organization assessed a service fee for each transaction that did not clear the patrons bank account when our organization initiated the original debit for the transactions that were processed through our VIP Preferred program.
As a result of the returns that did not clear the patrons bank account, our organization resubmitted each transaction including our fees to the patrons bank account on file per our terms and services. Upon representment, the transaction referenced cleared the patrons account and as of to date, there are no outstanding return transactions pending with our organization.
On 03.06.2024, our ************************* ******************** spoke with the patron ***************************** and our operating system notes indicate that the patron explained that there may have been a bank error. If the patrons position is that these were a result of an error by their bank, they can dispute the $35.00 transaction with their bank. Once the items are returned to our organization, we can disposition them as disputes within our operating system.
In addition, we will initiate contact with the patron to assist with any inquiries. We have a member of our management staff to assist with any inquiries. Below is their contact information:

I am rejecting this response because:
I already spoke with my bank and they are not going to be able to refund/refute these charges. If you have already received the funds, I would like them refunded to me directly.
Sincerely,

We have received your follow-up request as a result of our previous response on 03.11.2024.
The transactions that were approved by our organization and where funding occurred to the patron were returned to our organization by the patrons bank as Uncollected Funds as stated in our previous correspondence. In alignment with our Terms and Services, each transaction that was returned by our patrons bank was assessed a service fee and submitted to the patrons bank account that was enrolled with our organization.
Our internal records also indicate that on 03.06.2024, our ************************* ******************** spoke with the patron ***************************** and our operating system notes indicate that the patron explained that there may have been a bank error. To date, our organization has not received any supporting documentation from the patron nor the patrons bank that the returns that were guaranteed by our organization were a result of a banking error.
As a result of the most recent correspondence received by the patron and as a good faith gesture to cure the patrons concern, our organization will initiate a refund for the $860.00 that was assessed because of the returns. Please note that this request could take up to 30 days, but our intent is to accommodate this request as soon as possible once approval is issued from our corporate offices.
We thank you very kindly for the opportunity that was created to address your concern. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
