First American Payment Systems Shady sales practices, terrible customer service Fort Worth Texas

I was set up on auto renew with this company even though my contract expired. Company is trying to charge me $400 to cancel a contract that expired. I have also had several bad customer service experiences with this company, too many bad experiences to type it all out. Just look at their Better Business Bureau report and do a search on the web before even considering doing business with this company.

First American also does business under these names...

FIRST ADVANTAGE

Be very wary before doing business with these companies!
