    Clearent charged us early termination fee (after 5 years of being great customer) and continued to charge monthly fee when the sales rep indicated they would not. We tried to reinstate our service when we discovered they charged the fee. They refused to refund the fee or reinstate our account. Clearent customer service said their rep lied to us when he told us we would not be charged the early termination fee. Would suggest you not believe anything a sales rep tells you and when in doubt they will rip you off.

    I originally signed up for credit card processing through PAI. Clearent took over PAI so my account transferred. They quickly increased my monthly costs almost doubling them. Then earlier this year they increased my fees again almost doubling them again. I was upset and called them. They originally told me they would fix it. Then they never did so I called again and they said the new fees would stay so I asked to close my account. They said I could email the cancelation form to [email protected]. I sent that cancelation request in June. I never received a response. I sent several follow-up emails and still no response. They have since charged me two more monthly fees and another annual fee. They will not respond and I have done what they said I needed in order to close this account. I have not used their services for several months and the need to refund the charges that they applied after my cancelation request. They are ripping businesses off.

    Ran a payment for a customer on the mobile app everything says it went through but no payment was ever processed. Clearent still charged us for service we are missing over 300.00 from that transaction. We contacted them and we were told tough luck. We are canceling our contract and sticking with QuickBooks.

    WE HAVE BEEN A CLEARENT CUSTOMER FOR 5 YEARS. WE CLOSED THE HOTEL BUSINESS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS INCLUDING COVID. OUR REP SAID WE WOULD NOT BE CHARGED THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE SINCE WE WERE FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS. WE WERE CHARGED THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE. ADDITIONALLY WE WERE TOLD OUR ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER WE CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED MONTHLY SERVICE FEE. I’VE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER (NO)SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WHEN I TOLD THEM THE REP SAID I WOULD NOT BE CHARGED THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE, THEY SAID THE REP LIED. THEY TELL ME TO READ MY CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT. IF YOU HIRE THIS COMPANY PLAN ON AN UGLY EXPENSIVE DIVORCE AND DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING THE SALES REP TELLS YOU UNLESS HE SUGGESTS A DIFFERENT PROCESSING COMPANY.

    When they have funding problems, they always lie and say it is the bank’s fault. It takes HOURS to get a supervisor. By the time I can get a supervisor, they will admit they created the problem and make up a solution to get the customer off the phone. They don’t understand or care that small businesses depend on daily deposits to make payroll, pay for inventory and just run their businesses. They level of untruths and out-and-out lies is amazing.
