First Data Services was introduced to my through GoDaddy. I had purchased an "upgraded package" from GoDaddy which included First Data merchant services to help me with my online credit card transactions. I followed the instructions by GoDaddy and received an email with an application from First Data. I filled out the application and then one week later, I realized there are far better/more streamlined e-commerce set ups, so I called GoDaddy and canceled my "upgraded package" with merchant services included.
4 months later, I receive a bill from First Data collections, suggesting that I owed them $210. I thought the letter was spam and the company operates very much like spam/dishonest company would. Apparently, in the application I signed off to a year commitment and GoDaddy does not cancel this when I canceled my upgrade/merchant package. They charged my $10 for nothing, $75 for an early cancellation, $35 for an ACH fee, because First Data tried to pull money from my checking account, but my checking account did not allow them to pull anything out. So now, just to close my "account" (my application") I need to pay them $140 and they agreed to waive the other "collection fees." I asked why am I paying a company that did not provide any services.. They said sorry, it was in the application in fine print. Oh.
There are far better services out there. I would be very weary of this company.. I believe they are just trying to earn a buck, they are not a helpful processing company at all. Dishonnest..and shame on GoDaddy for even recommending me to them.
