VMS Merchant Services ReversePOS TimePayment Corp VMS, LLC Tricked me into signing a 4 year contract that will cost me over $11000 by saying that I was signing for receipt of a box of equipment that I was told verbally that I can cancel at any time. Midlothian, AND Burlington Virginia, AND Massachusetts

A sales rep came to my office by appointment and showed me a POS system for credit card sales. I agreed to try the system on a month to month basis but I told him that because I am 65 and not sure when I want to retire, I would only try it on a month to month basis and he said "you can cancel at any time."

He went to his car and got a box out and brought it into my store and he had a laptop with a form on it and he asked me to sign that I had received this box. In the meantime, a customer had come in and so I barely glanced at it but I thought that there was a 3 day cancellation period with anything in Virginia that you sign in which you can cancel, so I wasn't too concerned. Everyone I've told this story since it happened said that they believed the same thing.

But when I read what I had signed I found that it was a 4 year contract that said "Noncancellable" at the top in small letters that he neither mentioned or showed me.

I called to let them know that I was cancelling and they are refusing to allow me to cancel even though I explained how their sales rep had deceived me. At first the sales rep denied that he had told me it could be cancelled at any time and then later he admitted saying it but said that he really only meant that the merchant services part could be cancelled.

He was supposed to come set up the system but missed an appointment that he made to do so and didn't call me to cancel. The paperwork that TimePayment Corp sent me states that he verified "a complete and satisfactory installation of your equipment." This is also not true - the equipment is sitting in my office in the same box he brought in and left.
