We have been shut down by First Data at least 7-10 times. We try to stay ahead of them. Our stories are similar to all the above where they call you at 5PM and tell you they are shutting you down. They make up any reason or don't have to give you one. Their Nazi attitude is well know in the industry. They get off by shutting down good businesses and victimizing honest people. They lie on their printed sales material as well as their web site, stating how they are bringing you great service and protection. They give you none of this and any problem you may or may not have will result in a shut down eventually. Complaining to AG does not get you anywhere. Just like the SEC the AG is sleeping and only wakes up to get re-elected. First data will file a TMF with MasterCard International and will not release it under any circumstances. They tell you that by releasing the TMF they are carrying a future liability which will come back to cost them. Once that happens you can be 100% sure you are out of business. As said in the movie " Shooter" by the AG of the US Justice Dept. "sometimes things need to be settled like the wild wild west." And what did he do, he cleaned house the way it should be done sometimes to put people in their place and send a real message.
