nevermind, you smell like somebody who has something to gain by bagging on epoch.

bottom line is that while epoch may very well have been out of compliance (according to the 1% rule) they were not out of compliance by the 2.5% rule... and since they were never informed of a 1% rule that makes it a wee bit difficult to abide by it.

Kinda like seeing speed limit signs everywhere saying 55... and then getting pulled over for doing 55 in a 35 zone.

Not to mention that the way that MC does business is simply b.s. bully tactics. Perhaps if you ever had your own merchant account you would understand how massive and ridiculous fines can get for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

It sounds like you know a bit about processing, but 2003 is not 1996.. and having a spouse in the biz back in the day hardly qualifies you as an expert. So why not shut your mouth til you have something accurate and/or positive to contribute to the conversation.

Don't forget.. epoch going down would be a massive blow to this industry. Not good for anybody, even if you dont process with them.

Jeez.

On the brighter side. I'm glad to get a notification about that whopping 3 day payment delay. Definitely prefer that over having smoke blown up my ass.
