This is the credit card company that my company was dealing with. As you can see by the file that I uploaded they took out 29% of my credit card deposits. I was told that they only take out what Elite Merchants Services instructs them to take out. So I sent Elite Merchants Services a registered letter that they refused to accept. I have called Elite numerous times. Nothing seems to be working for me to get my money back. As 29% is not the correct credit card amount that should be taken out. The industry standards is 3.5 %, which is what they were taking out.Business response

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us so we can review and address your concerns. I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. ****** ********* sent a letter to the Legal department at Worldpay from FIS on 9/20/2023. I have attached a copy of the letter we received. This account did not renew and upon receiving the account closure request in writing, this account was closed on 9/27/2023 with no Early Termination Fee. ****** ********* with A-to-Z Plumbing and Heating opened this account with an Independent Sales Organization called Elite Merchant Services. After our Legal department received the attached letter, Elite Merchant Services was advised to contact the Merchant to discuss their concerns. All fees assessed are legitimate for processing and no refunds will be provided as the Merchant processed until 8/16/2023. Worldpay from FIS bills in arrears and I have attached copies of the Merchants monthly billing statements to show processing and billing occurred. Pricing is not a standard fee as every transaction conducted is different based upon a Merchant entering in all required information for a transaction, if the card is swiped or manually entered, rewards offered on a consumer’s credit card as the rewards associated to a consumer’s credit card are paid by Merchants, not the card issuing bank.
Worldpay from FIS did not agree to provide any refunds due to legitimacy of the charges per attached. If ***** of Elite Merchant Services discussed providing any refunds, the Merchant would need to speak to Elite Merchant Services.
Thank you,

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: The month that the money was taken was July 2023. The total that went into our account from Worldpay was $6,365.84. The total that was taken out of my account from Worldpay was $ 1,823.01. Which is a rate of 29%. I don't think 29% is what should come out of any credit card transaction. That is way too high.

This company is a fraud, they took money out of my account without any knowledge and I had to block them access. they continue to sen me outstanding bills. I called them to let them know to show me a contract that I signed that gave them permission to take money out of my account. the rep could not do that and told me that the lawyers would continue sending me letters until I paid.

3/25/23 $12,714.00 Worldpay is a third party credit card processor who was utilized in issuing my federal tax payment to the IRS via Turbotax. I was not aware at the time there was a Credit Card processing fee associated, so I disputed the $316.58 fee with Chase and was credited. Although I disputed the CC processing fee, Worldpay still took my $12,714 payment and withheld it from the IRS and additionally did not credit back my card. Chase Bank has a 100 day rule for claims, so I am unable to file a fraud claim. I just found out last week the balance was owed because of a notice letter received from US Treasury, otherwise I would have not known. I spoke to 3 companies: Chase Bank, Turbo Tax and IRS -- all 3 advised to call Worldpay and let them know to backdate and release payment because they have the funds. Dispute: I can not get in contact with a Live person to help release the payment to IRS, therefore my balance due is accumulating interest and penalty. I was on the phone from 7am to 7pm central time today until was kicked off the line. There is and currently is no resolution unless there is another way to reach Worldpay. I plan to continue calling everyday from 7-7pm, and by end of month if no one answers I will deem the company fraudulent and get legal advice.Business response

Good Morning,
Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. Unfortunately, I must advise that we act as a payment service provider which means we don’t hold any information about the goods or services you’ve paid for. If you need more information about your order, or want to request a refund, you will need to contact the Merchant to whom you made payment, and they should be able to help you. Their contact details should be listed on their website, or on the email confirmation you received after your payment.
If you think your card has been used without your permission, or funds taken from your account without permission, please contact your card issuer directly for further advice. We’re not able to refund the order for you however your card issuer should be aware of the options available to reclaim your funds.
Moving forward if there is any input required from Worldpay from FIS and you’re in regular contact with the Merchant, to whom you’ve made payment, please have them contact us on your behalf so we’re able to complete the necessary security processes.
Please note we are not affiliated with Global Pay.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: The IRS advised the funds were received the reversed out by the merchant (you) I assuming at the time I disputed the merchant fee. Please note I have confirmed that the merchant (you) have my funds by calling your automated service using my SSN and tax amount. My payment confirmation is *******. I do not agree with your statement that you do not have my funds. I believe now after more research I should be filing my BBB dispute with Catalis, a division of VPS. I believe Worldpay is in partnership with VPS however it appears you only handle the Client side and not US Citizen Tax Payer side. Note I can not retreieve an EFT number because my situation is unique, unlike all the other Americans whose payments did not get thru to IRS. My situation is unique in that I cancelled a service fee owed to the merchant, therefore the tax payment service should have been cancelled altogether and my tax payment should have been reversed. I understand it would have not been remitted to IRS since I am essentially cancelling your service of remitting funds to the IRS. With that being said, Worldpay, VPS, should not hold my tax payment. It should be credited back or released to IRS if I am given the opportunity to repay the tax service fee. The issue is there is no live operator to work this out with. Again, my situation is unique. Please reread the full description of my complain and I kindly await your comments. Also please note Worldpay's customer service inbox is currently full and no longer taking calls or messages.

Good Afternoon,
I am sorry there still seems to be confusion. We, Worldpay for Business from FIS are not a Merchant. We service Merchants. We are a Merchant processor, meaning Merchants hire us to assist them to process their credit card transactions safely and securely. We do not reverse transactions unless this is specifically requested by a Merchant who would have to call in, pass security verification, provide the credit card informtion and a reason for the reversal. In most cases Merchants can reverse transactions on their side through the point-of-sale system and do not require our help to do reversals.
“The Merchant” you would be referring to in this case would be the company you used to file your taxes. This is who you need to work with to seek resolution. Please note that most tax filing services do charge fees for filing through their service. This is a fee paid to them for using their platform for processing your return. This is how they get paid. If you charged back their service fees, it makes sense they would take back the service provided. In any case you would need to reach out to the Merchant with whom you filed to find out why they requested a reversal, if that is indeed what occurred and work with them to take additional action.
Once again just to make sure you are understanding, we, Worldpay for Business from FIS are solely the processor for the Merchant you used to file. We do not take fees from card holders; we do not receive any money from card holders at all. We get paid from our Merchants for their credit card processing monthly.
I hope this is clearer. Although I understand your frustration, and sympathize, unfortunately we cannot offer any further assistance in this matter. We sincerely wish you the best of luck, please reach out to the Merchant with whom you filed your taxes for continued support.
Thank you,

Good Afternoon *****,
Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau regarding your former processing account with WorldPay for Business from FIS. Please accept our apology for any inconvenience you have experienced. I show the account was successfully closed July 24,2023, after receiving your signed account close request on July 22. I do not see any record of previous contact requesting account closure.
In your complaint you said that you had been charged an entire year after you canceled your account and stated that you sent a certified letter to close the account. Unfortunately, I do not show any record of this on our side. As per the terms and conditions a 90-day notice is required prior to the end of your term to avoid the early termination fee and liquidated damages. If you can please send me a copy of the certified letter you sent to us requesting closure signed and dated by you prior to July 2023, and the tracking information this will be very helpful in my investigation of your complaint.
Any additional information you can provide showing you made contact to close the account prior to July 2323 would beneficial. I will be standing by and will look forward to hearing back from you.

Received a collection letter from their collections department citing a balance owed of nearly $1000. No bills were sent out, and when I called to find out what the balance was due from the representative said she it was for a merchant ID that has not been used since 2019. We sold our business in December 2022. It looks like they opened another merchant ID and have been charging us fees for 3 years. We asked for details of the lines and proof of contracts but the representative could not answer our questions or provide the contract. She did not have access to those records. I had to be transferred and it's been a week with no response. The email address on the collections letter is invalid and my email is returned to me.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:
The owner did call on 6/28 and 6/29. Spoke with ******** who said these were billing fees. She advised the last transaction on the account was 7/19/2019. He asked her why there was a 3rd account opened and asked for the contract showing he authorized the 3rd account to be opened. She sent it to the Resolution dept and he has not heard back.
We are trying to understand why we are incurring fees in 2023 for an account that has not been used since 2019. As well as why Worldpay opened a third account.Regards,

As I said previously, unfortunately I cannot discuss the details of this account with you. Although new action has been taken to assist since the owner last called, he will need to call in to talk to Collections so they can confirm that action with him directly.
If the Owner is requesting a reimbursement, he will have to call in on his own to do so as well. As the account in question was previously in use, it will be in his benefit for him to provide the documentation showing that he requested for the account to be closed. As discussed previously, because you are not authorized on this account, I am not able to provide you with any further informtion regarding this matter.

I have spoken to well over 30 people in 4 different departments in the last 4 weeks and am just getting the run around. I emailed the lien department, still no response. Case # ******** I have been told that my business partner defaulted on a merchant cash advance. I DO NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER HAD A BUSINESS PARTNER. I have been told that I needed to contact 2 different attorneys for collections. Called them numerous times, they have never heard of me, my business and have nothing on file. I've been told to call the Fraud/Risk Department, that there are "tons of red flags" on my account for fraud. Called them, they don't see anything, but can't help me due to my supposed business partner??? I have been charged over $1000 in over draft fees due to this. And now I can't accept credit cards!

Good Afternoon,
Good morning, sorry for any confusion. Once again, Worldpay from FIS is Merchant facing. As I shared previously, the Merchant can key in the gift card number at the point of sale if the magstripe is not working. Keying in the gift card number will allow you to use your gift card balance for any future purchases at the Merchant location.
If for any reason the Merchant is not sure how to do what needs to be done, you are welcome to ask them to call us. The Merchant will need to contact Merchant Support and complete the necessary security protocol. The Support Team can then walk them through what they are needing help with.
Worldpay from FIS does not get money for gift card purchases, the money is paid to the Merchant directly at the time of the gift card sale. Unfortunately, you will need to work with the Merchant from who you purchased the card, as there is no other assistance we can offer. Thank you for your understanding. Have wonderful rest of the week.

Apparently I have no choice to accept the 'resolution' from Worldpay. I think it is grievously wrong and definitely not customer friendly. Unclear as to why they offer replacement card if one is lost and they will not provide me with one. How is that good business practice. It is not costing them money and the money is there as they have told us on more than one occasion. In essence they are hold my money hostage. This will not be resolved at this level. The merchant is not technically saavy. If they could not process it the first time, they will not be able to process it in the future. I will ensure my family and others I know not to purchase gift card that are allegedly backed by this company. Because they are not. This has been a frustrating and unrewarding experience. We will see where it goes from here.

It starts with a chargeback from a client committing fraud for ***. Wordpay was cooperative while we disputed the charge, but trying to collect at same time. They withheld our account receivables during this time. Once dispute was found in our favor, FIS Worldpays Risk department says we have $**** credit, but have to wait 180 days to receive it. That is not the reason we are filing a complaint, although it is one. The actually complaint is their collects department still calls and emails that we owe them the money, when our documentation shows we don’t. When I ask for a case number, or try to correct them, they either tell us to contact risk dept, or hang up. Risk dept doesn’t understand why they are still collecting. Worldpay has an internal communications malfunction. Then And, again I get an email that I am not responding to debt of *****. If this harassment of not debt owed, and our credit delay continues, I will start billing them for my time. They don’t have extensions, or a way to reach the specific person who called. This needs to stop, or legal action will be pursued, according to Linn County, Oregon state law.Business response

Good Afternoon,
I hope you are well. I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced due to confusion regarding your chargebacks, and the balance that is currently due in Collections. I have confirmed that due to an interruption in the chargeback process caused by stopped payments from your bank from chargebacks filed on ******** card ending **** back in May and July 2022, your account is in the rears.
Please note when a chargeback occurs, a ********* account is debited for the chargeback. If the dispute is won and the Issuer accepts liability, the funds are then credited back to the ********* account at the end of the dispute ruling. When WorldPay from FIS attempted to debit the ******** *** account for these chargebacks as is the proper protocol, the ACH’s were declined due to STOP Payment. This interference in the chargeback process is what has let to the issues you are now experiencing.
**** ******* ********** ********** R** * ******* ******* ********* ********** -$********* ****** *************
ACH rejects for the chargebacks caused by STOP PAYMENT were sent to Collections ** *********.
STOP PAYMENT caused you to be credited twice for each of the two transactions that were processed:

**Funded a second time when the dispute was won.
The Collections team is trying to help you to bring this overage back into balance:

The issuer assumed that the ********* account had been debited for the chargebacks and so they thought that they were giving money back to the merchant that they was debited during the chargeback process, when in fact the money had never been taken (due to STOP PAYMENT).
This has led to overpayment because these transactions were originally funded in May and July, and now were funded a second time on March 2,2023 when the merchant received a credit for **********.
Status and steps needed:
**Original balance that was due in Collections from the STOP PAYMENT was a GT = **********
**Merchant had a risk hold in the amount ******** that has been applied to this balance.
**The new amount due after the ******** credit from the risk hold is $********I hope this has ben helpful, please continue to work with the Collections team to set up a payment plan to bring your account into good standing. They are standing by and are happy to help. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank you,

My complaint is again *********, sponsored by WorldPay, powered by Value Payment System, LLC.On 4/9/23 while using TaxAct to file my Federal taxes, the link to make the payment was with *********. I made the payment of $1314.00 but the transaction kept giving me an error, so I backed out and used another payment method that indicated it was accepted. I wasn't aware until the end of the week that I made a duplicate payment and I called my Credit Union who could see both transactions and provided me with a phone number to call. No one answered the call that I spent 2.5 hours on hold with. I have called on other occasions with no one taking the call after lengthy times on hold. The next day, on the ********* website, I found instructions for what to do having made a duplicate payment.To date I have made five on-line submissions of the duplicate payment request refund form per their website instructions. Upon receiving a confirmation on 4/19/23 that the IRS had receive one payment, there was a Customer Service email address as a method to reach Customer Service, and I have made at least 5 written requests ther**I was going to send a Certified Letter to the Company but cannot find their address.Would you please help me in this matter?

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your email and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve found cause for concern.
Unfortunately I must advise that we act as a payment service provider which means we don’t hold any information about the goods or services you’ve paid for. If you need more information about your order, or want to request a refund, you will need to continue to try to contact the Merchant/Service Provider to whom you made payment and they should be able to help you. Their contact details should be listed on their website, or on the email confirmation you received after your payment.
If you are still not having any luck we would advise you to please contact your card issuing bank directly for further advic** We’re not able to refund the order for you however your card issuer should be aware of the options available to reclaim your funds.
Moving forward if there is any input required from Worldpay from FIS and you’re in regular contact with the Merchant, to whom you’ve made payment, please have them contact us on your behalf so we’re able to complete the necessary security processes.Thank you,
