On approx. 04/27 a represetative from payment systems came to my business: village motors, inc. That morning and signed me up with 30 days to change my mind. I was very busy that morning and had a customer who was there the entire time and witnessed everything. I signed the agreement with the understanding from the representative i had 30 days to cancel the agreement. The next morning i had decided i did not want a 4 year agreement on a credit card machine since i already had one that was paid for. I contacted my rep within 22 hours of meeting him and told him i was no longer interested in the agreement. He said to call his manager which i did and from that point on the 30 day cancellation agreement did not exist. I immediately faxed a letter to the company explaining the situation and then went to my bank and explained the situation and they had me sign a stop payment of any ACH that may come from that company. 2 days later i recieved a package via fedex which i knew was from the company and did not except the package. 2 days after that i recieved a call from another rep and explained the situation to her. After that call i was left with the impression that the contract was voided and was told not to worry about anything. Today my accountant showed me on my bank statement where 1760.00 had been charged to my account and i also recieved in the mail a bill for 35.04 for services rendered from payment systems. I contacted payment systems and all she kept repeating was the contract i had signed was being upheld and the 1760.00 was charged for early termination of the contract. My bank is aware of the situation and i have a meeting with them in the morning. I have contacted the s.C. Attorney generals office and they feel a scam has been committed. I understand i signed the contract but only because i was assured of a 30 day cancellation. I also understand that the reps for these companies will say anything to get your name on the bottom line. If there is anything you can do please advise. Thank you, edwin s. Gibson
