U-Sight, Bridgeview Bank
Unscrupulous! Bogus! Scam Artists! Consumer fraud ripoff Illinois

On 2/11/03 I attended a u-Sight e-commerce seminar and got sucked in by the wonderful promises of this company. Part of what I purchased was a u-Travel package and signed up for a merchant account through u-Sight. (no bank name was on the receipt or mentioned anywhere. Part of the paperwork said I could cancel the entire package within 72 hours of purchase. The next day I called 10 places in the u-Travel package and none of them knew of this travel club; 8 phone numbers were disconnected.

On 2/13, I sent the package back via Certified mail as directed. It was stamped by u-sight. On the advice of my attorney, I also stopped payment on the checks I gave them. 2 weeks later I got a merchant number from Bridgeview Bank. I called their number to explain that I sent the entire package back to u-Sight. She informed me that I had signed up with THEM not u-sight. The only receipts including the one for a merchant account had the u-Sight name on it. She told me it would cost $250 to close the account. She did give me the option of paying $10/mo for an inactive account. On 2/28 it suddenly jumped to $20. With a $3.50 surcharge. This was automatically taken out of my account. I don't really care about the $20 right now, I just want to stop this merchant account. I refuse to pay $250 since I have no receipt from Bridgeview and only learned the name of the bank when I got my package. I informed u-Sight that it was up to them to close the merchant account. Since then they have re-submitted one of my checks and fortunately the bank refused it. U-Sight sent me an RMA number to send back my packet. I had already done that on 2/13. So I sent them copies of all I sent back via UPS which was signed for. I need to know how to stop the merchant account without forking over $250. This whole ordeal has been a huge lesson in Rip Offs!!
