Prodigy Payment Systems BKCD Processing Company overcharges, double charges, renews your contract without notice Arapaho, Texas
Prodigy Payment Systems sent me a PIN machine for debit card transactions. Then they double charged me -- the swipe fee AND a debit fee for every transaction run thru there. Yes, the PIN machine would have been useful for transactions over $80. Few, if any, of my transactions are that much. When they were confronted with this the said they didn't know why I was set up that way. Duh -- so they could over charge me and get more fees in their pocket.
I contacted them a year ago about quitting their service and was told I still had a year on my contract. Ok. I stayed -- paying their 12.50 quarterly fees, their $95 annual fee, dealing with their PCI compliance forms. I contacted them January 5th to find out about ending my service with them in March. I was told that I had to give 90 day written notice and since I had not done that 9 days ago, my service was already renewed for another year. I was not notified in any way.
I have also had trouble with their processing, getting COMM ERRORs often. Finally figured out that if I cancelled the transaction and tried again, there wouldn't be any double charges. They did not tell me this. And I had to contact them when there were double charges -- which were not put into my account, but the customer was charged twice.
DO NOT USE PRODIGY!

I was in contact with Prodigy -- a number of times. They just couldn't figure out why I was set up with a PIN pad and charged double -- and they made NO effort to remedy that fact. They just advised me to quit using the PIN pad. Thanks a lot.
I WAS in contact with Prodigy about stopping using their services. They were nasty, uncooperative, "we have to go by the rules" -- when there were extenuating circumstances. Their attitude -- tough luck Chuck.
After contacting to my Attorney General, a NICE guy from Prodigy contacted me. He dealt with the circumstances about my quitting using their services in a pleasant, thoughtful manner. He said was sorry about how I was treated and it did not set well with him how they were enforcing their "rules" which didn't have to be done the way it was. I APPRECIATED that!
I would still not recommend Prodigy. They ripped me off with the PIN pad machine. Their customer service people were not helpful.
I am glad to get the resolution I got, but I would not use them again....
