...........a 3rd party credit card processor that will allow me to bill in Canadian dollars. They would also have to write the cheque to an person not a company, (having difficulty opening a company account:rolleyes: )

Try Soltrus, they are the Canadian Verisign, run by CIBC
im probably going to be using their payment gateway in the future, it's pretty good apparently....
http://www.soltrus.com/

but that is not what I was looking for, I need a 3rd part ala 2checkout, revecom etc..... 2checkout does not allow Canadian $ and revecom you need a business account, and my bank will not allow me one

What do you mean exactily? check this out:

pay flow link is just like 2checkout or whatever, they host a page on their secure server and process all the charges. Its all the same.

I saw on HostCharge website that they accept multi-currency. Check them. I can't tell you because I don't use them.
HTH.

Not true. I have a revecom account in Can $$ and the deposits are made to my normal personal account.

from the revecom FAQ #18 What type of bank account is required?

The only requirement is that it is a business account, not a personal account. For set-up we will require a copy of a void cheque with your business name imprinted. If not available with imprinted business name, we require an IS Funds Transfer form filled out by your bank.

so if you are getting the deposits to your personal account I'd like to know how.

The Soltrus FAQ clearly says that they are a Processing company for those who have internet merchant accounts issued by Canadian banks. They are nothing more than a Verisign reseller.

Easy, I went into the "Account Management" section of the control panel and entered in my personal checking account info.

No problem.

Their faq also says that the customer credit card statement will show "Paysystems.com via YOUR COMPANY NAME".. which hasn't been true for over a year.

In other words, I don't beleive their website is accurate. Send them an email, or sign up for an account (you'll get a test account), and then submit a support request and ask.

Hostcharge is probably the best solution for you, as they allow non-incorporated companies etc., etc.
Have a look at their site

Neither 2checkout or revecom require you to be incorporated.
