To be completely honest, you are all just ignorant to that fact that you
DID NOT READ WHAT YOU SIGNED. Dont blame it on the company thats taking advantage of
your blatant stupidity, blame yourself. A snazzy salesman came into
your shop saying that they're offering you "the best deal in town".
While they talk fast and use big words or just say to leave all the work
up to them, you sign away blindly without actually stopping and taking a
look at what you're actually agreeing to.
Now as an intelligent, sophisticated business owner that you are, you're
EXPECTED to read the agreement that you're accepting. I could tell you
that i'm going to give you every bit of money that my entire company
makes until i'm blue in the face, but on paper it could actually say
that you're paying me every dime you make. You sign your name blindly to
a complete stranger who happens to be promising to solve all your
problems. How great of a business decision is that? And you wonder why
your small businesses are failing. Put your violins away.
Lastly- When you threaten legal action to any company, make sure you
read their terms of service. Keep in mind that numerous attorneys have
written this contract, that you paid no attention to, to get exactly
what they want which is obviously your money. Enjoy your lease
agreement! :)

Not only are USA Card Services and Summit Marketing Institute located in the same place; they are owned by the same company. There are a couple others involved too. So if a company (I won't name it specifically) calls you to help you find a home business and recommends USA Card Services, then I will assure you that it is not only owned by the same company, but the sales people for that company and USA Card Services sit behind eachother. There is at least one more "company" involved. They will contact you and try to sell you upgrades to help your business take off; since most of them never do any business. So beware, they are out to get the most out of their customers since they don't make any significant amount of money off of credit card processing. This company used to be really great. They did everything possible for their customers, but everything changed around the beginning of last summer. They got greedy and wanted to boost sales; which they did. That's great and all until you have too many clients and you don't increase your customer service department an equal amount. The coaches talked about in the report above my response are excellent at what they do, but there are too many customers now and they don't even offer coaching anymore. In fact, the salespeople are not even allowed to mention the word coaching. The guy that started the company is a great man and has a passion for helping people and doing what is right. But he seems to be shielded from what is really going on there. If he REALLY knows what's going on, I will truly be shocked. This company should take a step back and take care of their customers and employees (like they used to) before taking care of their pocket books or five year business plan.
