I just received an email from one of the iBill affiliates I signed up with awhile back (and that's another thing - all the money they owe the revshare guys; They haven't sent a revshare cheque for a very very long time nor have they mentioned a thing about the revshare monies which they are in arrears)...
Anyhow, in his email, he apologizes to his revshare affiliates for iBill's current state (we all seem to be apologizing for iBill, yet iBill has yet to apologize to anyone), and he stated that he is going to all his rebill clients that he has with iBill, asking them to re-sign up with his new third party billing company but at a reduced price.
I didn't think of that. It's a very good idea - emailing all those who are being rebilled right now with iBill, telling them 'listen - if you want, we can cancel your present rebill with iBill, which I will refund if you re-sign up with my new company at a very reduced cost'.
The way I see it, it's a win win win situation. Win #1 - iBill is no longer rebilling my clients while holding that cash. Win #2 - altho I'm allowing my clients to sign up at a reduced cost, at least I will be seeing the money, if just a portion of it. Win #3 - iBill is forced to refund since they now are dealing with Visa, and I'm sure iBill does not want to fuck with Visa.
So rather than iBill collecting the monies from each rebill, they will start seeing them cancelled as well as being refunded. The way I see it, iBill is fucking with my money, it's time I fuck back with theirs (well, it's my money, but iBill is claiming it's theirs since it doesn't look like they are releasing our funds anytime soon).
I repeat:
Email your rebill clients, offer them a refund if they sign up with your new third party billing, cancel that rebill, refund them the cash after you've seen they re-signed up. This way you won't be losing out customers.
