I am writing to formally file a complaint against Clover Merchant Services, also known as First Data Merchant Services, regarding their unethical business practices and failure to honor our account cancellation ********** 2022, we canceled our account with ****************************************************************. Despite this cancellation, we have been charged $212.90 annually for three consecutive years. We have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with them, requesting the cancellation of our account and a stop to the ongoing charges. However, our requests were ignored, and the charges continued.Recently, Clover Merchant Services canceled our account after we switched bank accounts, which was a direct result of their refusal to stop charging us. To make matters worse, they have now sent our account to collections, further damaging our business reputation.These actions reflect a pattern of shady business practices that are unacceptable. We believe that Clover Merchant Services has not only failed to provide the service we expected but has also engaged in deceptive practices that have caused unnecessary stress and financial strain on our business.We request that the Better Business Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Clover Merchant Services to prevent them from continuing these practices with other customers.Thank you for your attention to this issue.Business Response

Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention regarding the fees billed for your open merchant services account. The $212.90 amount was for your monthly merchant processing fee of $62.90 and $150.00 collection fee. As we were unable to collect the fees associated with your monthly cost it was placed into collections, however, as a courtesy we have waived the $212.90 collection balance. While we believe this resolves your concerns, nevertheless, do not hesitate to contact customer service at **************.
Thank you,

My middle class tax refund debit card still has balance of $115.26 according to Money Network website. My card has been being declined when attempting to purchase locally or online even tried to cash out from the bank. I called Money Network tried to get a replacement card and called more than 10 times since last year 2024. It would have the same error messages at the end told to to call another time. The phone number has no human contact at all. I searched the website and could not find any help either. Please help. Thank you.Business Response

On around June 9th I contacted Money Network customer service after receiving an email notification that the phone number on my account had been changed. However, I did not change it. This alarmed me and so I logged into my online account and checked for any recent activity. I noticed a $400 pending withdrawal in hold status that wasn't done by me and so I called and alerted the *** I spoke to. Without any education being provided to me Without asking to investigate the matter further Without doing any research into how my account became compromised Without my authorization The ***resentative immediately informed me she was going to have to shut down my account for my own safety. She placed a stop on the **** $400 person to person transfer which I was happy about but I was locked out of my own account WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE, PROOF OF CLOSURE, OR ABILITY TO HAVE THE MATTER INVESTIGATED. I have had the account for a couple of decades and had a regular deposit that hit the account after it was closed and I called about it and was told it was a failed deposit and would eventually be sent back to sender. I am suspicious of Money Network's handling of my account closure and the failed deposit. I have no proof of anything! I spoke with a supervisor who didn't offer any creative solutions for how to resolve this matter. They want me to believe they care about my money and my account by closing it but won't show the same care Providing proof of my account closure Proof of the failed deposit Proof of the returned deposit back the sender Proof that the phone number updated due to fraud was removed from my now closed account records Proof that there were no other options for me to have kept my account Proof that they aren't obligated by law to research and investigate potential stolen data from their cardholders accounts and all other acts of fraudulent activity. I am asking for an update about the failed deposit and all other concerns, now. Please and thank u.Business Response

Hello,I currently work for Braums, and we are forced to use a Money Network prepaid card for our paychecks. On May 14th, I purchased some clothing on an online site that I thought was Hollister. After I purchased, I realized I did not receive a confirmation and started looking and realized I had been scammed. I contacted Money Network, which said they would mail me a dispute form. I had to call back twice to get the form mailed, as it wasn't showing up. I filled out the form and sent it in, and again did not receive any kind of communication. I contacted the company again, and they said they denied the claim, and I would have to appeal. On May 29th, I emailed the dispute/appeal department all the evidence that I had. They have never given me my money back or contacted me. Today, my account was drained, and when I reached out to the company again, it was the same thing. Fill out a dispute form, and we will get back to you. They then locked the account and sent out a new card, but didn't tell me so. They also told me they didn't see anything regarding my old case. I believe this company is scamming people. I would love to use another option, but my boss doesn't allow it. The app will not allow screenshots, which makes it hard to provide evidence; however, I am attaching a copy of the email that was sent May 29, 2025, to the dispute department. The original case was for $78.10, and the amount taken today was for *****, making a total of $162.64.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I have personally spoke to the hotel manager, he said the hotel is not holding any pending charges from my stay, they only have one charge for this stay and the invoice is attached. Money network is unfairly holding this money in a pending fashion from my account because of their own ridiculous internal rules that infringe on withholding money unauthorized from my disability account . The hotel has repeatedly told me no they are not asking them to hold this money, The hotel provided the paid in full invoice that should be sufficient enough satisfactory evidence the transaction is complete. Please help me I have to use the money theyre withholding to pay my rent and bills. At this point its going on a month no where did they disclose they will double charge me for a month. This is insane.

I have been trying to end my lease and keep getting sent to different phone numbers, offices, places. I am told to mail my equipment to an address with a hand-written note describing the return. I requested a pay-off amount in writing on June 4. Was told I'd receive it in 72 hours. Have not received it. Every call to customer support rounts me to a different "company" with different India-based service ***** I didn't not intend to do business with this company.

*** had this prepaid bank account since i started working at ******* in 2006 for direct deposit. Ive continued to use it because it was convenient to withdraw and deposit cash while at work. Recently, apparently my account was compromised and they just closed my account . I cant use one of their checks or my secondary account. They didnt try to call or email me.

Subject: Request for Immediate Contract Cancellation and Refund Due to Deceptive Practices Clover/First Data Hardware Services,I am writing to formally request the cancellation of my contract with your company, effective immediately. This decision follows multiple incidents of deceptive practices and misrepresentation on your part, which have led me to believe that your company has acted in bad faith throughout our dealings.When I initially entered into a contract with Clover/First Data Hardware Services, I was informed by your representative that my monthly fee would be a specific amount. However, upon reviewing my bank statements, I discovered that a significantly higher fee was being charged, which is in direct contradiction to what was originally promised to me.When I raised this issue with your representative, they admitted that they were unsure as to why the fees had increased to more than was discussed. More than discussed was being taken from my account, yet they failed to rectify the situation or provide a clear explanation. They was taking my money out of my account without the service being able to be used. This lack of transparency, combined with misleading information, has left me feeling that I was misled into signing a contract under false pretenses, in my opinion they are taking advantage of consumers and its not fair something needs to be done. In addition to the financial discrepancies, I also experienced rude and unprofessional behavior from your team after I had signed the contract. This treatment was unacceptable and further contributes to my belief that your company has engaged in unfair business practices.The company terminal has never been used and has been returned to them. Several demand letters has been sent out company has not responded other than sending billing statements.Zquita ******* Subscription number: ***************Business Response

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. The attached letter is in response to a recent complaint submitted by merchant Big Bens Place, owned by Zquita *******, in which she alleges deceptive practices related to her denied EBT (SNAP) application.
After a full review, Velocity Merchant Services can confirm that there was no deception or misrepresentation involved in the handling of her application. The denial was issued directly by the ******************************* (***), not our organization, due to the merchants failure to comply with a mandatory component of the application process.As documented in the attached **** letter dated March 3, 2025, the merchants application was denied after she refused entry to the ***** contracted inspector on February 28, 2025. SNAP regulations (7 CFR 278.1)require a store visit to confirm eligibility for participation in the program.Failure to cooperate with this process results in automatic denial, which was the outcome in this case.
Velocity Merchant Services records show that their representative, ****, communicated with the merchant during the application process and informed Ms. ******* that **** inspectors would begin conducting store visits at random times beginning February *******. The merchant now claims she was unaware of this and intends to pursue legal action; however, the attached **** determination clearly outlines the reason for denial as refusal of entry, and explains her appeal rights.
Velocity Merchant Services are confident that all proper procedures were followed, and no deceptive practices occurred on their part.Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for your response regarding my complaint. However, I must strongly disagree with the conclusions stated in your letter. The issues I raised go far beyond the **** denial and directly involve misleading and unprofessional conduct by Velocity Merchant Services.
While I understand the **** is responsible for SNAP approval, I was explicitly told by your representative that I would receive advance notice before any inspectors arrived. That promise was not honored. Inspectors arrived unannounced, and I was not prepared to allow entry under those conditions. When I inquired about why I wasnt notified, the representative could not provide a clear answer and simply said he would email and check. This failure directly contributed to the denial, despite my willingness to cooperate under proper circumstances.
Additionally, the representative also misled me about the financial aspects of your service. I was told a specific amount would be withdrawn, yet more was taken from my account without explanation or authorization. When I asked why, the representative again could not explain. These incidents form a clear pattern of misrepresentation and a lack of transparency that no business owner should be subjected to.
Due to these repeated failuresincluding:
False assurances about the inspection process
Unexplained and unauthorized charges
Lack of transparency and accountability
I am requesting immediate termination of my contract, and a written confirmation that I will not be held responsible for any further payments. I returned your equipment unused, and I have not benefited in any way from this relationship due to your companys handling of the situation.
If this matter is not resolved promptly and fairly, I will escalate it to the Better Business Bureau, my states attorney general, and the ************************, as well as consider taking legal action for breach of verbal agreement and deceptive practices.
I expect confirmation of contract termination in writing within 10 business days.
Sincerely,

Subject: Formal Response to VMS Communication Regarding EBT Application and Contract Dispute
Dear First Data
Thank you for your response regarding my concerns. However, your message fails to address the full scope of the issues I raised, and I find your response to be dismissive and incomplete.
To clarify:
Misrepresentation and Deceptive Practices
Your sales representative clearly stated that I would be notified in advance of any **** inspection, as your company would receive notice first. This was a key factor in my decision to move forward. Your current position contradicts what I was told, which constitutes misrepresentation. Whether or not your company was the entity that ultimately denied my EBT application is irrelevant your representative provided false information to secure my agreement.
Unauthorized Charges
I was quoted a specific price for your services, but a different, higher amount was withdrawn from my account without my authorization. Your representative acknowledged this and said they would investigate, yet I have not received a clear explanation or refund. Withdrawing funds in excess of what was agreed upon is not only unethical but potentially unlawful.
Lack of Service Usage and Breach of Contract
I have not used your services. Given the false information I received, and the unauthorized funds withdrawn, I consider this a breach of contract on your part. You cannot hold me to an agreement that was entered under false pretenses and that you have failed to honor in both pricing and service.
Request for Contract Termination
I am formally requesting that you void this contract immediately. I have not utilized your services, and your company has failed to uphold its end of the agreement. Continuing to enforce a contract based on deception and unauthorized billing is unacceptable.
I will not allow your company to take advantage of my small business. I intend to pursue all appropriate legal and regulatory remedies if this issue is not resolved swiftly and fairly.
Please confirm in writing that the contract has been voided and that no further charges will be made to my account.
Sincerely,
Zquita *******

Thank you for your follow-up regarding complaint ID ********.
We would like to reiterate that Velocity Merchant Services does not schedule or control **** inspections. At no point do we, nor can we, provide advance notice of **** inspector visits. The **** conducts these inspections at their discretion and without prior notice, as part of their standard protocol to ensure compliance and integrity.
In this case, the denial of your SNAP application was solely due to your refusal to allow the inspector to complete the required onsite inspection. This is clearly stated in the ***** determination. Our role in this process is to assist with preparing and submitting the application and related paperwork, which we fulfilled completely and accurately on your behalf.
Regarding your concerns about account charges, please note that you signed contracts with Velocity Merchant Services that explicitly outlined all costs and fees associated with your account. You reviewed and agreed to these terms and charges prior to moving forward. After thorough review, we have found no discrepancies or unauthorized withdrawals.
Based on the above, we are unable to terminate your contract. The equipment was issued and services were rendered as outlined in the signed agreement; therefore, the terms of your agreement remain in effect.
We understand your frustration and regret that the **** outcome was not favorable; however, it is not the result of any error or misrepresentation on our part.
If you have further documentation supporting your claims, please provide it so we can review. Otherwise, we consider this matter resolved.
Thank you,
