Complaint Review: electronic payment systems

Sorry guy but the complaints about EPS all seem to say the same thing over and over. Stealing money from peoples accounts, lying, immoral practices. After the way this company treated my husband and I, stealing money from our checking account till we actually had to close the account and start a new one. Even our bank manager said EPS are scammers. Tried to stop payment buy your company would change its name and keep taking the money out, Yeah real honest and good company Right?. NOT!!!!! We have had a Christian run company for over 15 years had your company given us the refund Blake told us we would get I would never had the need to file a complaint with the BBB, here or starting the Facebook page EPS Are Scammers. For all the others done wrong by EPS, Check out, like and share the Facebook page. The more people we warn about this company and their bad business the better. We must warn people about EPS. I believe all these and the BBB reports are valid, as I said I would never had known about this page till EPS did us wrong. Over 140 BBB Complaints and almost 70 on here. I believe you are paying for that BBB rating because EPS sure did not earn it, not with that many complaints. You and the BBB say you tried to fix them in good faith but the people you scammed dont, sorry but the people you scammed are the true determining factor on whether you did right by them or not, not some company you pay to get a good rating with.

Thank you for all the helpful information.  I hope they begin looking into the Colorado BBB and EPS connection.  Over 200 complaints and they are now accredited.  They finally posted our complaint on the BBB and it just proves that EPS did NOTHING to resolve any issues and LIED.  And we provided proof of the lies they replied to on the BBB.

this is in the section under EPS gave good faith effort to resolve the situation.  NEVER!  and the proof is right there. Especially when they lied and said we had 3 conference calls with Mr. Peterson whom we never spoke to and refused to return our calls for weeks. Is that good faith effort.  It is dated 2/25/2013.  Though this complaint was filed in January it is just being found now! hmmmmm

After over 2 months of filing a complaint with the BBB on EPS, I am wondering why it is not posted and LIVE on the BBB site.  There are many complaints filed after ours.  As stated prior, we have filed with the BBB and EPS responded once and did not even attempt to state a resolution and refused to comment on why the will not give us written documentation on all the money they are holding.  Without any suggestions or help to resolve the issue the BBB closed the case. This is after I sent them written documentation of the lies EPS stated in their reply.  BBB claims EPS gave good faith effort and the entire report would have proved the lies EPS stated. 

I asked BBB how they can feel the complaint was in favor of EPS with all the documentation i sent stating they were lying and even asked them to at least see what they can do to get us written documentation of the money they are holding along with the exact release date.  I have received no answer from the BBB.

Anyone have any suggestions on what other recourse we can take that won't cost a fortune lawyer fees? What happened to consumer rights?

These are bad people. I did some research on eps and all they do is steal people's money. Not sure how they get away with it and how BBB can support this kind of activity. It may be possible that the BBB receives a kickback from them!

eps,

of course your proud of your a+ rating. it isn't easy to con the public but you, apparently in collusion with the bbb, have made a good start. CONgratulations.

Thank you for the BBB information. Sounds like a very shady relationship and that is a shame. How can a company that has so many complaints have such a good rating? It doesn't make sense. I read their reply to another unhappy consumer and it sounds like lies.  They should not be allowed to operate with such unethical business parractices!

We recently filed a report with the BBB on EPS.  After EPS replied to our complaint with one lie after another, which we sent supporting documentation of the fraudulent behavior and proof they were lying, the BBB took 3 weeks to answer and said that the case was closed because they consider EPS to have attempted good faith effort to resolve the issue.  We asked for a solution and pleaded with EPS and BBB to provide us with written documentation that they are holding over $4,000.00 in funds and REFUSE to send us in WRITING when they are releasing the funds. 

Bare in mind, we were just approved with EPS.  They kept 100% of all our transactions and say we are not getting it for 12 months because we are too high risk. We asked them to refund the clients to relieve them of their high risk and they refused, then we asked them to send us in writing the amount they are holding and the exact date they are releasing funds.  They are ignoring us and now BBB says they are in good faith. 

Believe that one!  Then I went onto BBB to see if they even posted my last rebuttal and the filing is gone! Most recent one on there is 12/12, we filed in January. 

As we all know anyone can place a complaint online regardless if the claim is factual or just a misguided ranting, whether it is a disgruntled ex-employee or competitor. There is no way for the reader to know whether or not it is a true complaint as the consumer complaint websites do not require the complaint to be based off of facts nor do they contact the person filing the complaint to have the information substantiated before placing on their site. Unless of course, the company agrees to paying tens of thousands of dollars to Arbitrate" or "Repair Their Reputation which we do not ethically believe in doing. 

Even if a company did decide to pay this great sum of money to repair their reputation the negative comments posted are still not removed but rather are then, and only then, provided with the complaints site finally investigating the complaint & then commenting on what the company has done to repair the situation IF the complaint did happen to have any truth behind it.

This is one of the main ways the BBB and the Consumer Complaint websites differ. The BBB will place the complaint on file but actually investigates each complaint for validity and then allows the business  to correct the situtation to make the consumer happy without charging a ridiculous large amount of money. Electronic Payment Systems is a customer focused company, with high ethical standards providing businesses with the safest, most secure and technologically advanced merchant service solutions in addition to the best customer service for over 20 years.  Electronic Payment Systems has had an A+ rating with the BBB for over 2 years, and recently became a BBB Accredited Business after satisfying any and all consumer complaints over the past several years. This means EPS has made contact with each consumer complaint and handled the matter for an above satisfactory outcome. This is not something that has been bought into, but deserved and earned. EPS has earned the BBB Standards of trust in advertising, selling and customer service.

If there are any questions regarding EPS or BBB Accredidation, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-863-5995. We are more than happy to discuss our A+ rating in addition to our many other awards.As we all know anyone can place a complaint online regardless if the claim is factual or just a misguided ranting, whether it is a disgruntled ex-employee or competitor.
