Evo Merchant Srvices Stole $17,000 from me Maine

Evo Merchant Services stole $17,000 from me. They never told me they were going to hold back an additional 10% of my cc purchases (on top of the 5% they were already charging) They told me they would only hold it for the first 6 months as long as I had no problems. I didn't, so after my 6 months I called to request the refund. That's when they told me they would continue to hold back the 10% and they had up to 240 days to continue holding the $17k they were already holding.

No explanation. Just that "Risk Management" said they weren't giving it back. That was it.  Oh ya, once I realized what they were really all about I cancelled as well, and was told there was a $400 cancellation fee... They said I was breaking the contract. Ya because you are stealing from me...They are crooks. I found a class action against them and joining it, but if I can help keep someone else from getting caught up in their scheme, then this report is worth it.
