United Merchants Processing Association UMPA Deceptive Liars Palmyra, Pennsylvania

After doing business with them 3 years they were going to charge me $800 when I opened a second store and wanted to do my processing through them.  I decided to go with another processor that appreciated my business more.  I had originally signed a 2 year contract with United Merchants Processing.  I canceled after 3 years and they charged me $300!  I called and they said that the contract automatically renews.  The contract is pages and pages long.  I was never told about an automatic renewal.  I asked the representative, Brian Smith, if there was anything else I needed to know.  Any kind of fees, or anything he hadn't told me.  He said no.  The fact that the contract automatically renews is significant and I should have been told!  I signed a 2 year contract and I more than fulfilled my obligation.  A $300 cancellation fee after fulfilling the terms of my contract is nothing short of thievery. I will be disputing the charge with my bank as they still have not supplied me with a copy of the contract that states the  'automatic renewal'.  Liars and thieves.  Take your business somewhere else.
