Who are you JDPinWi? It is quite obvious that you are an employee of Crescent Co and not another victim such as MYSELF and MILLERWATERS.

If you were just another satisfied customer you would not even be browsing the complaint list for Crescent Processing. It is however very unfortunate that folks like us who are going along minding our own business, find ourselves in a horrible nightmare situation. How discompassionate of you to suggest that He and others did not pay attention to the sales Rep when he spoke with us. It was my experience that the sales Rep promised lower rates, minimal fees excellent service and quality care. Even though I felt that I had asked all the important questions and revealed our companies private financial matters to him in order for him to best know our company and set up the best account available for our small business needs...the questions asked and answered were contrary to what eventually appeared on the contract. Speaking of contracts, I never received a paper contract (even though I gave them my personal e-mail address at time of signing) until after the Rep came to our place of business to check if the machine I had just received in the mail was properly downloaded. This fellow was so anxious to get us activated that he made a personal stop by and hooked up the cords and phone line himself...made the call himself and activated our machine himself...even though I insisted that I wanted to wait until the following day. This was the last day of June 2009 at aprox 4 pm...we close at 6 pm. The following week we get a bill in the mail for $6.50 for the month of June and we were billed for the swipe fee that it took to initiate the account a total of $6.88. Not exactly a lot of money in the Grand Scheme of lthings but, if you figure they do it to several hundred clients that makes quite a lot of money for doing exactly nothing. When you call customer services they act as if they don't know what you are talking about. They tell you that they don't care what the Sales Rep told you that once it hits their office the sales Rep has nothing whatsoever to do with the account. They refuse to let you speak with a supervisor and pass you around the phone system and keep you on hold for long lengths of time to keep you frustrated and hope you hang up. My sales Rep , Michael Williams of Saint Clair, Michigan, is the one who scammed our business. They are clever enough to smile, speak nicely and get you excited about saving money. Let's face it, anyone with half an interest in their company is interested in saving money. Michael told me all the nice things about His company and omitted to tell me the things that would make most people run...and run very fast... away from Crescent Processing. Michael Williams failed to tell me that even though I told him that we were a small seasonal business which was closed 6 months out of each and every year, he set us up with an account that had a large monthly minimum requirement (which if not met they can charge you a fee for not meeting your requirement). He also omitted to inform me (even though I inquired about the early termination fee) that the DE conversion fee (early termination fee) was a WHOPPING $495.00. They use the ploy and tell you that they will pay the early termination fee with your current company. When I asked Michael Williams how much their early termination fee was he gave me a BIG "SMILE" and stated very assuredly that there wouldn't be any reason for us to terminate because he intended to make it his personal responsibility to see that we were completely satisfied. Tell me something...how do you make a prospective client completely satisfied when you say one thing and know that corporate intends to do another. According to Michael Williams he has worked with the company for 2 years. This is plenty of time for Michael Williams to realize that he is working for scam artists who DO NOT have anybodys best interest at heart. If they valued their Employees...including their Sales reps who are the ones bringing in their new clients, they would not jeopardize the personal relationship that their sales department has already put into play with the client. They would not jeopardize the personal integrity of their sales Rep by changing things that were set in motion at time of signing. And if they truly did care about their clients they would not have to make excuses internally and the right hand would truly know what the left hand was doing.

My differences with Crescent Processing anr not yet over. This is July 10,2009 and we are still in the processing of trying to get out of contract or get them to amend the contract. We hav received to date only one deposit to our account of $62.00 and are waiting for the other $850.00 to be released. The question begs to be asked...WHY ARE THEY NOT RELEASING OUR MONEY???????????
(I've unfortunately been added to the list of "Scammed" by this company.)
