There aren’t that many companies like First Data, so if they decide to stop the funds there isn’t much you can do except pay cash.

So First Data is refusing to process funds to the merchant and also refusing to refund the payments to customers.

Sounds like out and out theft.

I set-up credit card purchasing through my web site. It took twice as long as usual because the underwriting department sat on it until I called to ask why it was taking so long. When I finally got someone on the phone, they asked if I was selling firearms or ammo. I stated that we were only selling targets for shooting - they asked again “firearms or ammo?” when I said no, the account was approved. They said that their bank will not allow any business that sells firearms or ammo. Total B.S.

Interesting....I was lucky enough to find my ammo on the Cabelas website, and I ordered 500 rnds 9mm with my USAA Mastercard. My account was debited....but now a week later it has been ‘undebited’. I thought maybe Cabelas oversold. Now I wonder if its something else.

Shirley, this thread is important enough to use the keyword ‘banglist’ so I added it.

Gun-friendly credit card processor

The letter from Personal Choice Outfitters tells about First Data withholding funds, but it doesn’t say anything about Obama having anything to do with it. Did you ever consider that a class of political constituents might be taking the law into their own fascist hands? Granted, most employees and administrators of such companies are probably Obama voters—same ones from both political parties who voted for BillHillary before.

Ever seen the demographics of a large corporate office? I have. Hen Central: the overlords of all.

BTW, there was another story a few weeks ago about a credit card processor doing that. Don’t know if it was the same outfit.

By reinvesting enough customer funds for a short while, a company like First Data could also get some interest/returns and make more money from that.

When will they start holding back funds over the sales of books.
Either way this is unconstitutional and they should be SUED into bankruptcy.

Likely though the Agreement says they can do this to any merchant for any reason.
Read the contracts, people. Unrelated, Every year I get some form of contract that
states the phrase invention in it. In other words, anything I create or invent while under
contract belongs to the company I contract for. And it's completely unrelated to
the work that I do. I guess they're just looking for that one big fat payday.
I do not sign those kinds of contracts. In fact I revise just about every contract I do sign.
