And we appreciate it Rick. It adds credibility to whatever you say.

I'm crossing my fingers for the best, but a life lesson, is never to think something that seems almost impossible to happen won't happen. It sometimes does happen, so brace yourself for it.

I hope it works out. If not, I hope the companies using Ibill (especially those using processing with Ibill alone), can obtain an alternate solution. This will be a crippling blow.

Obviously any huge processing bank has infrastructure in place but this isn't fucking plug and play. If it was I Bill would have already been processing with the new bank and woulnd;t have had to go to court to try to keep First Data going. Use your nogin buddy! You also have the issue of the existing rebilling database being moved. That's a ton of sensitive data to deal with.

first off- rick latona - nice shill-job!

secondly- i spoke with ibill and it is certainly a crisis and they are "moving their traffic to a new merchant account" right now. they need a little time to figure things out and to all of the people affected- we wish you a speedy recovery followed by speedy growth.

thirdly- XPays has paid and always will pay out on all joins commenced regardless of our ability to collect from any third party. Our variety is part of our business model.

And might I add to this thread two thoughts:

1) This is why cascading is so crucial. We've got three billers on Duke Dollars so flipping one down is no big deal and that's quite a relief although some of the eggs in the rebilling basket would stll get squooshed.

2) Yet another argument for getting your own merchant account as soon as you can and capturing the data internally so you can move your database if need be.

Who did you talk to? I heardf they were all in meetings. Noone I talked to knew anything. maybe they were told not to say anything.

Do you know if they have another processor lined up now? Will there be any interruprtion in payments?

Sorry if I sound less then optimistic its because I have possible income loss if iBill goes under. I am just so mad that they waited till August 2004 to contact Merrick when they knew the Sept 15, 2004 deadline was approaching....

THIS is the real and only realistic option, especially if your a large program that can do the volume, run a tight legitimate ship and care for your business future. 3rd party will all but die. Dont know when but it will happen.

I doubt they did nothing til August, I assume that taking on a large adult processor takes tons of meeting and more paper work then you could dream of.

Why do you insist on being this way with me? I don't have friends at I-Bill and I never use a fake nick. We can go to battle in this thread now if you want but I think it might be best to stay on the subject.

P.S. What worries me is that you knew what the word shill meant.

I have to agree with you. I don't see third party processing holding on forever. Is there any other business in the world that is dominated by third party processing? You start any brick and morter company and you are responsible for your own accounts. Part of the problem here has always been that the barrier to entry is so low that the number of unqualified people running business is too great. I don't mean this as an insult, but I'm trying to make the point that much of the difficulty with large volumes of chargebacks came not just from fraud but also from sites that had not nearly enough (or at least unique enough) content to be charging any fee for access. Also sites put together shoddily with no proper customer support... it's a mess.

Look, at the end of the day the customer base in this business isn't going anywhere. But the ability to deliver content to them and charge them will become restrictivly difficult enough such that only serious businesses are capable of doing so.

I thought I read in the Court filing they contacted Merrick in August. That is kinda waiting till the last minute. IMHO

Why didn't they get the extension in writting?

These are serious questions that need to be answered, poor management decision?

Give up Holly. The die hard Ibill supporters are completely oblivious to anything that resembles making sense.

this is the correct answer, there are no other industries with as many clueless 18 year old wannbe player, pimp businessmen, that reak havoc on the industry for the fast buck with no regards to tommorrow. Pure havoc sooner or later. If your a large program doing the volume and have the ability to get your own merchant, I wouldn't hesitate if I were you.

Forget about support or not it comes down to this:

1) Was I-Bill negligant and/or foolish or,
2) Are there some factors we're not aware of here that made it impossible for them to get plan B ready in a timely manner?

True- but several of the biggest players since the old days have said that "if they had sent all of their sales to Paycom (for example) since day 1, they would have made a lot more money than juggling banks".

I second that, cascading billing has been built into our software for clients exactly because of this type of situation.

As for the merchant accounts we are talking with a particular payment processor that has agreed to waive their setup fee. ICQ me if you are need. They are professionals and we have worked with them for over 4 years.
I don't want to mention any names because that would be to spammy. I just want to offer help, this sucks big time........

I see a lot of people that will not even bother trying to keep their programs alive and go back to what they were doing before ......

I cannot believe this was a verbal agreement.... not with that much money riding on it...

I agree with you. I've just been watching these people sing Kumbaya every time there has been a huge issue over the last year. Reminds me of the Iraqi Information Minister. Doesn't matter what you say they see no problems.

Well now...Since we are busy listening to rumors instead of courtroom facts.....

I just searched "xpays" on GFY.

It appears that xpays is:

A front for spam.

Too broke to pay their affiliates.

Being sued by Microsoft.

Jealous of p1mpdogg.

FUCKuPAYme = Evan of xPays

VividCash may be related to xpays.



Shall I continue?

Granted but that also begs the question why were banks being juggled? I know in some cases banks just got assaholic and flaked... but in other cases you have people dancingthe Potamic two-step because they had problems as a result of sketchy billing practices.

The worst part is that banks might go flaky on you even when your numbers are great just because they are tired of getting burned by the dozen other not so honest guys. The hope here is that things settle to the point that there is no way to operate your business dishonestly and only the people doing it right survive and they can keep their merchant accounts. When you deal with a third party processor everything gets homoginzed through them... good and bad.

The chart just stops.

Anyone here banking that ibill will find come back from the dead? I can't believe that a company that big won't be able to find another processor. Might be a good opportunity to buy tomorrow after everyone dumps the stock.

Part of the problem here has always been that the barrier to entry is so low that the number of unqualified people running business is too great. I don't mean this as an insult, but I'm trying to make the point that much of the difficulty with large volumes of chargebacks came not just from fraud but also from sites that had not nearly enough (or at least unique enough) content to be charging any fee for access. Also sites put together shoddily with no proper customer support... it's a mess.

Look, at the end of the day the customer base in this business isn't going anywhere. But the ability to deliver content to them and charge them will become restrictivly difficult enough such that only serious businesses are capable of doing so.
You are right Mark

It's not so much whether they be able to find another processor, it's will they be able to in time, if in fact, they are only looking into an alternative now. A few days losing $800k every day and it becomes too late because the company is bankrupt and no longer has a need for a processor.

The paper work alone will take days for something this large assuming the paper work only started today or a few days ago.

It's not like multi-million dollar processors haven't gone under before for one reason or another. I can recall at least 5 in the past year and a half. Why didn't they move under a different name, get a new account, start all over again? Because it's not that easy.

Total Cash (mrq): 28.00K
Total Debt (mrq)˛: 1.17M

Average Volume (3 month): 18,750
Shares Outstanding: 15.67M
Float: 11.40M
% Held by Insiders: 27.26%
% Held by Institutions: N/A

Unconfirmed just grabbed from the Key Statistics, but this is not promissing. Insiders don't hold a huge stack in the outcome of the company and the volume is garbage. Not to mention the all stock buy of iBill from Penthouse.

This from a guy who has yet to figure out that a sentence should end with some sort of punctuation.

Nice.

I love it when people like you try to insult me. Usually insults like this are followed by comments about me being fat and bald too.

I'll let you know when I give a fuck about you, your opinions, or your company.

Now....Mr. "I'm a Trial Attorney".......Come at me with something a bit stronger or SHUT THE FUCK UP.
