Wow, that story seems similar to mine! I also signed up and was stupid to sign a 3 year contract with this company. They get you locked into a contract with a cancellation fee then they treat you like crap cause they can. I also would advise not doing business with this company, I was able to get out at only $500 dollars and consider myself lucky, do yourself, your business and your family a favor DO NOT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. 

Their front or head customer service agent is Stephanie Bowlin the owners daughter, good luck getting anywhere with her. She has direct orders from the president her mom to take as much money from you as possible. I can provide merchants names and numbers if you wish to speak with them, as we have had this conversation. One way to avoid this mess is never do business with this company, they are more concerned with charging you their cancellation fee than actually taking care of you. Thanks other merchant for speaking out it motivated me as a business owner to do the same. I work hard for my money in this tough economy, to hard to have Midwest Merchant Services rip me off and then charge me $500 dollars at the end.  

MIDWEST  MERCHANT SERVICES IS A POOR COMPANY AND MISSED THE LESSON ON ETHICS OF BUSINESS.

Fraudulent Complaints from Ex-Employee

AUTHOR: Owner - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 08, 2013

Please see the below letter, which shows an apology from the ex-employee, Thomas Jennings, that continuously harasses and threatens this company as well as several of the owners and co-workers from this company.  He is the author of the above fraudulent complaint. 

He was terminated from our employment almost 2 years ago because of his love for alcohol.  His family currently resides in Olathe, KS and the authorities believe he resides in Colorado.  We have requested assistance from his family and they have washed their hands of him.

Based upon his egregious behavior and attacks to our clients and customers, we pressed felony
stalking charges against him. The Police Department has made several attempts to find him to make the appropriate arrest.  He is known for having several aliases and will not stop harassing the company, our clients as well as employees and the owners.  

In the letter, you will find Thomas Jennings apologizes several times for his behavior, comment specific to egregious internet postings such as this.  He is a sick person and very dangerous. 

Thank you,

Owner



From Tom Jennings; while under a Twelve Step program.  Needless to say, the program was ineffective.


I hope this letter finds you well and in a good health.


I have written this letter a hundred times trying to craft it perfectly and or hit the mark in a poignant and concise fashion. However I struggled time and time again for 2 reasons. The 1st reason: I was either drinking, had drinks or hadn't been sober longer than an 8-5 period. The lack of clarity and
alcohol induced emotion came thru in every word. The 2nd reason: I kept ruining the apology with excuses.

 So I wanted to have a substantial amount of sobriety under my belt before I wrote something and
sent it to you. I believe I owed you, SJB and myself at least that. I have not had a drink in several months now and it may not seem like much, but if you know me (and you do) it's a small accomplishment.

I am truly sorry for deceiving to you that day at MMS cc the dentist appointment. It was out of
character and completely disrespectful to you in a professional and personal manner.

After that day instead of thinking about my actions I avoided the pain and shame by using alcohol to run or hide from responsibilities as a human being. The destructive behavior continued
and actions got even worse and more vindictive by splattering ugly words about MMS and SJB on the Internet. I was and still am extremely ashamed of my actions and the hurt that I caused.

I got to the point where enough was enough; my life was spiraling out of control. I was sitting in my apartment when the police showed up knocking at my door. I don't think you or SJB called them but I have a certain person in mind that might have. Regardless, I decided to take care of my past legal 
problems and start by facing them. I had a DUI and Assault charge pending. So I went to
Colorado to face the music and turned myself in after running for 6 years. I faced 8 years in prison, however a number of mitigating factors played in and did 2 weeks in county jail. So it goes without
saying a huge monkey was off my back and the future has promise.

I cannot do anything about the past except learn from it and not repeat it. I just wanted you to know that I am sorry. I will say I have contacted 2 companies that have quoted me some prices on getting rid of the Internet postings. I am more than willing to take care of that with your and SJB's permission.

I also would like to takethis opportunity to thank you for the many opportunities you provided me while working at MMS. Quitting drinking was quite a challenge but not nearly as difficult as losing the friendship I had developed with you and SJB.

So in the interest of not writing a novel (believe I could, lol) I wanted to reach out and acknowledge my poor actions and apologize. I would also like to ask your blessing to reach out to SJB to convey a similar message.

Thank you!

Tom Jennings
