 This is absolutely the worst experience with a salesperson and company they work for in the 35 years I have been doing busines.  Chris Collinsworth came into our Fedex store early 2015 to make some copies.  We inquired about his company, Central Payment, to see if his company could help with our credit card processing as we were using SQUARE and thought we would look into somethin better for card processing.  Chris set up a meetingwith us  and we decided to use his company, Central Payment.  Chris brought into our store the tablet we were to use, and we immediately noticed a problem.  This tablet/processor would not accept a way to put in a nummerical value for quantity of an item.  We informed Chris of this.  He responded that he would get the software updated or firmware update to fit our business.  We called their customer support, and they said it wasn't possible.  LIE #1......Chris wouldn't answer our phone calls as we told him to pick up the tablet as it was no use to us.  He finally picked up the tablet, about a month after he first dropped it off. We forced him to sign a letter saying he pick up the tablet. He said no worries and we wouldn't be billed anything.  WRONG!! (Keep in mind we NEVER processed a single transaction with Central Payment.)  We started to get cancellation e-mails from his company, Central Payment, wanting to bill us for an early termination fee.  We were threatened repeatedly.  Chris wouldn't answer his phone.  We spent hours on the phone with their arrogant billing and admin people.  TowarDS the fall of 2015, we started getting harrassing e-mails from Central Payment saying they were going to charge us for the equipment.  We had not had this tablet since Spring of 2015. We kept calling Chris Collinsworth and he would not answer his phone! They insisted we still had the equipment.  We spend countless time on the phone again, and thought we had that straightened out as well.  WRONG!!  On December 31, 2015, Central Payment debited our account with ABS Systems for $495.00 for a tablet and $300.00 for a credit card scanner WE NEVER HAD!!!

As of January 13, 2016 my wife had to put a stop payment on our account to avoid any further issues with this company. This action from Central Payment forced our small company to put off our debtors until we cleared up this mess.  We did get a credit back today, January 14, 2016 for the full amount.  This company Central Payment is the worst company, BY FAR, I have ever had to do business with.  Their unethical practices are something I have never seen before. The apple (Chris Collinsworth)doesn't fall very far from the tree. Chris Collinsworth has had prior isses and complaints.  PUBLIC WARNING...DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, AND ESPECIALLY THIS SALES REP, OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!  I believe the majority of the problem stems from a flaky unethical sales rep, who doesn't care about the needs of his clients, doesn't fix his mistakes, and won't take ownership of them. We are seeking an attorney to see if there are any punitive damages as a result of their negligence.

WoW! This guy has no ethics....what a Snake

First of all, let's get this straight Mr. Collinsworth.  While it is true we did sign up for your Companies service, you did not know your product.  You were completely aware of our business and what our needs were, and the method of entering the Quantities on the tablet was not going to work for us.  To make the record clear, this tablet would not accept quantities in a numerical value of more than 1.  In other words, if someone came into our store and wanted 200 copies, we would have had to keep hitting a window, some 200 times, until the number 200 populated into the window.  We made it clear to you just a couple of days after you dropping off the equipment, this was not going to work for us.  You said all it needed was a software update.  We called your customer support and they basically said you didn't know what you were talking about.  No software or firmware fix.  They even went on record of saying you were full of S***.

We left you voicemails, and you never did show back up..  in the meantime our 30 day no obligation was running it's course and you evidentually did show back up I believe 1 or 2 days after the trial peroid.  Personally, I think this was by design so you could collect your commision.  We forced you to sign a letter, as I told my wife there is something very fishy about this guy and his company.  You said there would be no problems and you left with the tablet. 

Fast forward a few weeks and we started getting hasseled, weekly, about cancelling our contract and your company, Central Payment, wanted to collect an early termination fee of about $400.  We kept trying to get this corrected, and finally I told one of your reps to get this fixed or we were going to court with this.  This FINALLY got taken care of.  Thought we were finally through with Central Payment.  Wrong.....we started getting harrased with getting billed for no return of eqipment.  We sent the lettter in and thought that was supposed to be fixed,  We kept leaving  you voicemails, and you wouldn't respond.  Go figure.  Finally, after the first of the year, 2016, my wife's account was gutted for no return of equipment, and was actually charged for something we never even had.  What a dispicable excuse for a sales rep you are and the ethics your company exhibited over and over again. 

I hope you eventually lose your job with them, and it would be great of Central payment would go belly up.  Most unethical sales rep/company I have ever had experience with.

Merchant agreed to process with Central.  She didnt like the equipment features and requested to cancel.  Her account was cancelled and closed with no ETF penalty.  Central did have an issue checking back in the equipment and the merchant was charged for said equipment.  Once Central realized the mistake, the money was returned to the merchant (within 72 hours).  This merchant didn't loose a dime, even after she cancelled a signed contract that would have let us charge her a cancellation penalty.  We refunded monthly charges, equipment charges, and then let her out of her contract with no ETF penalties.  Sorry for the stress, but at the end of the day the only thing you lost was your temper.

 

Regards,

Chris Collinsworth
