After hostile representatives for MERCHANT CARD PROCESSING in HAGERSTOWN, MD -who were annoyed because I was canceling our 7 year business relationship- refused to supply me with FIRST DATA GLOBAL LEASING'S number I was finally able to locate it. I called to say I was returning the terminal.

I returned the card processing terminal that was costing me $34.10 a month on 11/17/2009 and received the signed return receipt on 11/23/2009. I am still being charged 3 weeks later- so far 12/12/09 and 1/11/10. I just phoned FIRST DATA, was put on hold to listen to squawking recorded music for a couple of minutes before a recorded voice asked me to leave a message and someone would get back to be within 48 hours!

I am using a credit card company now that charges a smaller rate, supplies me with a free terminal and puts the money in my bank the next day NOT 2-4 days later as MERCHANT CARD used to do.

I received a brochure in the mail to start takeing credit cards through Sams Clubs (which I still have) I called and spoke to a sales rep. (whos name I still have) I needed to take credit cards for just one client as this is how they wished to pay their monthly statement. I requested the cheapest machine and way to take the credit card. I asked for the simple machine where you put the credit card down slide a lever to the right and it prints on a carbon slip. The sales rep told me "these are not made anymore" he said he could lease me a machine that you could swipe the card and the deposit would go to my checking account wirelessly for 34.95 a month plus the the rate as low as 1.64% and .19 cents per transaction. He said the machine was 1500.00 dollars and that the 34.95 a month would be taken out of my account monthly. He also said "unlike other credit card companies that charge you the unpaid balance on the machine, that I could return it at anytime for a one time charge of 99.00 dollars" he then told me to read an agreement online to get this all set up, I went to the agreement page to read it and it said page 1 of approx. 35 pages. I started reading it got about page 3 and he called back and said are you finished? I said no I am just getting started, he said just scroll down to the last page and hit agree, that it was just like what you do when you wish to download something from msn. I had no way to print the agreement so I was told one would be sent to me. This has never happened, they want 7.00 dollars to send and agreement which I dont know if it is what I agreed to if the did. They also want 4.95 a month for insurance in case something happens to the equipment, (part of the agreement) the 34.95 a month plus .19 and 1.64% is now about 100.00 a month for one transaction that totals 956.00. These people are liars scam artist and thieves do not do business with them. I am going to write my congressman, senator, and the president if I have to I will not let this go to rest and I will also talk to Sams Club, Mr. Walton would not be proud of this company useing his name.

Attention ISO's: If you are thinking of writing deals thru First Data, do not use first data global leasing as your leasing company. They are trigger happy on chargbacks, they took thousands out of our account and could not explain why. This company NEVER answers the phone and never returns phone calls. They are an unlawful company. I strongly advise never doing business with FDGL!

Wells Fargo intoduced me to First Data Global Leasing, at the time when I was looking for Merchant services. Wells Fargo cornered me into signing 4 year contract for equipment lease.
On Feb, 09 I had to shut down my small business and now it left me holding the rope with Global Leasing, who will not cancel my contract and are asking me to keep paying $45 for 1 1/2 years remaining on contract. Thank you Wells Fargo, I hope your CEO's get the foot!

I Thought I was purchasimg a credit card machine, but instead received a lease. I was also made other promises. They hurried the AGRREMENT which was vague and detailed about everything except the terms of the lease. I warn everyone do not lease or deal with this company. They are large and carnivourous. The machine I leased sells for between $169.95 and $249.99. Iam paying $36.97 a month. I forgot there are hidden charges. They charge WHATEVER AND WHEN WANT IT. These fees are deminimus but add up. This company works behind large banks. My bank is PNC. I cannot even buy myself out of the leasr because it exceeds the leases value over its remaining term. I am like a cow out on the pasture. Remember there salesmen lies. Do not believe WHAT THEY TELL YOU. dO NOT SIGN AGREEMENT UNLESS A LAWYER EXPLAINS IT TO YOU.
