Ok basicly sumed up breifly on my horrible experience with bluepay: First I signed up for a merchant account with them, I sent in all docs etc. I called them up asked them if they got the voided check that I faxed, they said yes, so a week goes by I wonder why no money is going into my bank account, so I call them up, and they say that they've lost the check, this process happens 4 TIMES! Then a week later still no money going into bank although they've got all the document's, a customer signs up and in our backend system we approve, and once approved he is charged, we approved an user and we come to find out they've disabled our merchant account, without any notification, or anything. STAY AWAY FROM BLUEPAY, so now they're holding $700+, of our money.

Ok heres the hostcharge question: What is one of the owner's aim names, or icq # as I have some question's to ask.

.

Thanks :).

same thing happened to us, but they held $10,000 instead of just $700

Perhaps, the victim's shall do a class action law suit, although in the end they finally sent me money but terminated my account.

Why did they cancel your account? What am I missing here?

-WC-

Good question, they canceled it as they got mad I filed to the BBB, and contacted the secretary of state of ohio & whereever they're located ( I forget without looking it up).

So that's all.

BluePay is with OnlineDataCorp.com and I would stay far away. Similar experience to the original poster, just on a smaller scale. Don't fall for the "instant" setup deal, you start charging thinking it's all set, and then they somehow cancel the account or want more informatoin and the end result is whatever you charged is kept, and your account is cancelled, or should I say not even officially activated.

I'm sure they are lots of people who use it fine, but I surely would not recommend them!

Maybe they found out you were 15:confused:

Correct, although me (Brandon(13)) & Larron(15) aren't the owner's of the business. The business is family owned & operated like www.futurequest.com. The owner is 55 year's old. If you have any question's Justin, or if anyone else need's clearification please email me at brandon@rackeasy.com.

i want to share different story with you...
one day i did some shopping in the mall in Sebring,FL (i don't really remember the store name) i think it was JC Penny or Dillard's and I wrote a check gave it to the clerk and the check somehow disappeared !!! this women did not know what she did with it, she said she were looking al the time at this check... then store manager, other employees and customers were looking for this check, and we did not find it ! How that possible?

They wanted another check form me but I didn't give them, just went out of the store very pissed off

Good luck guys with getting your money back.

I have heard of scam artist writting checks with disappearing ink.

Edit: Clarification I was refering to the check disappearing and not calling anyone here a scam artist.

Just re-read my post and it sounded bad.

Man, that's young. :eek:

Man this has gotten way off topic, anyway's no nor did I or my bro sign up for it, and that is not the reason. Monte why don't you keep you're comment's to yourself ?

a customer signs up and in our backend system we approve, and once approved he is charged, we approved an user and we come to find out they've disabled our merchant account, without any notification, or anything. STAY AWAY FROM BLUEPAY, so now they're holding $700+, of our money.

$700+ from one client? must be nice.

More like 3 client's, but still :D.

Probably because we've all had a gutfull of 15yr old hosts going bust and giving the industry a bad name. The problem is, folks think a cheap snazzy website template, a dedicated server and a credit card processing service, makes them a host. :eek: :rolleyes:

We have spent month's on our infastructure, and we're not some "small" time host that things a dedicated server, merchant, and template is all he needs. We don't even rent dedicated server's, we colocate in the Global Compass Datacenter. Please do some research before you make acussation's.

You seem to be doing a lot more than someone your age should be doing. I liked Deb's response in that other thread where you compared your company to hers. Let me see, yes, here it is -
Posted by Deb -
I've little input on this thread in general and mean no offence to the teens at all but do want to clarify that FutureQuest's owners aren't quite 55 yet and the children under the age of 18 in my family are still required to treat their school work as priority, as are the children of the other families that work within FutureQuest. No child under the age of 18 is permitted to operate as sysAdmins or Tech Support et al within the company. There's too much liability there and personal preference on priorities. My children have been known to help mom out when we were cleaning/building the DC and with some office type work but it's all kept at below part-time hours in a more traditional 'children helping out' fashion. ;)
Maybe you could enlighten us to the owners of the company. Names, positions etc. You know, the information that's not on your site. ;)

Yet on your site it says -
Rack Easy LLC, is an Ohio based company founded in 2001
And this bit I really love -
Through our infrastructure, we have proven to be one of the most reliable known hosting providers in the U.S.A. and Canada.
You claim that "we do work at rack easy" yet it just looks like you're running the whole show -
From the front page "Customer Reviews" -
"You can't go wrong with these guys. Their network and hardware is rock solid and their support is excellent. Brandon is great....
The onus is now on you to provide the evidence that rackeasy.com isn't owned by yourself and your "bro". The thing is, if you lie, you will get caught. If I was to go back through all your posts here, I'm sure that would bring up some interesting information too. I get a very uneasy "TimPD" like feeling here. :eek:

thats a bad ex[perience .. I was once trying to get info on their deals .. thank goodness i never got around using them . :(

If I was to go back through all your posts here, I'm sure that would bring up some interesting information too. I get a very uneasy "TimPD" like feeling here. :eek: Aussie Bob the person, who buy's the domain dosen't have to be the "owner", you can feel or think however you wish, as I don't care. If I do more then I should be doing, and I handle it fine, then it dosen't matter what I should be "set" at doing, maybe you have a diffrent view of it. If you really want to know who the owner of the company is then it's Larry Armstead, I'm only sales & do some support on and off beside's the people we outsource, as my bro does sales & some support on and off, Diane is our secretary, and everyone else we pretty much outsource for support. Also no we are in no way related to TimPD, btw you bring up some bull about us "renting" a dedicated and thinking we're a host, I'm not the one who can't even keep my own server's in my own country, as I said do some research before you come posting acussation's, if you called the secretary of state of ohio you could have easy *clearly* found out who is the owner of the company which is Larry Armstead, and is more then old enough to run the company. Also BTW talking about "templates", what kind of host has a "vbulletin community" as there site, please get you're fact's straight.

As for you flash gear, I'm sorry you feel that way although alot of are customer's don't.

Also yes we we're founded in 2001, although that dosen't mean under that name we have been doing hosting for about 2 year's now, and this time we're making a diffrence and have changed our ways.:rolleyes:

how long did you guys have your accounts with ODC until the point they canned your account, ours was about 1 month

Our's was about 2 weeks ( one just of them loosing voided faxed in checks ).
