Leaders Merchant Services is very sorry that this merchant was unhappy with the way in which we handled the diverted funds process. When we encounter a risk issue in the nature of the business or the transactions that are run, certain precautions need to be taken to make sure all parties involved don't face a loss. Sometimes this requires that we hold funds until we validate the activity. The merchant states they were not notified of funds being held on their account as well as our verification process. Leaders Merchant Services apologizes for any inconvenience this caused the merchant and wants the merchant to know our practice is to notify a merchant immediately when funds are being held. It is our understanding a representative from our Risk Department did contact the merchant and that we followed our standard risk related procedures. We at LEADERS pride ourselves in providing our merchant's with quality service and regret that the merchant feels our internal procedures did not ensure that he receive timely and appropriate responses to his problems.
