northern leasing and CCI These companies are out to destory small business new york

I was told I could save hunderds of dollars by switching my charge card company. This was after the salesman compared my charges from my old company.He said all business need to change over to chip reading machines.Because it would be thosands of dollars to me if fraud came from my old machines. He said I would pay 1.35 % everything included.I have 2 small business so that means 2 machines. I started the 1st machine on 6/27/16 and the other on 7/01/16. These are my charges to date. 1656.96 in charges.   8 days .  Northern has charged me 293.44  and CCI or First Data  has charged me 167.47 for a total of 460.91.What happen to the 1.35%????  Is  it the goal of these company to put us out of business and after reading the complaints how many are needed for some action on this.The machines are out in the morning the bank will be called and every chamber of commerce in my state will be contacted. as well as my state reps. I will be calling these companies in the morning. I and other have been mislead what does it take so small business do not have to face this kind of rip off. Its time for those that are getting payed to protect for rip off like these to step it up.
