First Data Global First Data Merchant Services Ruins credit of my small business with promise of saving business valuable revenues & time even after refunded services internet Atlanta, Georgia

 Okay the first days of a new year got me to think about new equipment to better service my customers-

alas, I went online to apply for a credit card to make the purchase of a new compressor...

simple right!?! I'm thinking "no problem, I pay my bills on time and in full" I have a great credit score!

Sunday moring came so, I thought that I would check in with the credit card company, one that I had used in the past had DENIED my request for a card! What the Bleep...I thought to myself...so, I quickly ran a credit check up.

To my surprize and dismay I found that I had a ding on my credit report and that is why I was denied my new

card.  I can understand this because it says that I have a debt of $2,990.00 in lease payments of the equipment to

First Data for Merchant Services.

This had been a resolved dispute, in which I had been promised services that I did not receive and services,

that I was not happy about..I hired an attorney...when all was said and done, the machine was returned to First Data

and they issured my business a refund of $300.00 for the credit card processing equipment lease fees.

My fault was not checking my credit report...hadn't given it a thought!

Now, I am in a possition with the credit reporting agency that I need to rectify; however this does not help

me in the immediate future with the purchase of the equipment that I need to run my business!

I am just stunned!

I am spreading the word so that other people will be aware of these facts.

So, now I have a project...wish me luck!

I will report any changes or updates.

Thanks for reading!
