Fail to cancel the contracts
I am back again. Big Scam with Paragidm Direct and Ladco companies. Sale lady set me up a merchant credit card machine and
promise give me cheaper rate that bank. If I don't like in 60 days and I can cancel it.. I call to cancel it out, found out that I am stuck with contract for 4 or 5 years with leasing equipment. You could get it for $200 - $300 for it. I call D.A. and they would very interest to file complaint. The Wells Fargo bank were very nice to help me and they
call Paradigm. The gentlement from Paradigm that he will cancel all contracts. It was good on Paradigm . Now, I got a collection agency for unpaid balance of First Data. I have called Paradigm in number times to returmn my calls.
WARNING: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH PARADIGM DIRECT AND LADCO COMPANY.
I am finish yet... there is more to be posted.. I will put sale lady name back on again.
Paradigm Direct
We have also had almost identical experiences with Paradigm Direct from the just say yes to the confirmation call and don't worry we will take care of the termination for you it won't cost you anything and getting stuck with an additional terminal we specifically did not want but ended up with due to answering the confirmation the way we were instructed to. This resulted in a 60 month non cancelable lease to the tune of $6000 and all the promises of savings were a myth we were better off with our old provider. Also the same experience of only getting a voice mail our rep was also [edited] who promptly disappeared after the transaction. My advice stay away from these guys. We have attorneys who are familiar with this type of situation and are looking into a solution. [protected]@gmail.com
If you want to know how they do business just do a Google search on Paradigm Direct and you will have all the answers you need or better yet call the main office line after 5 P.M. and see if you get an answer PH:[protected] Better yet do a yellow pages search and see how many contact listings you get for such a reputable company. This number is directly off there website directpci.com Try a better business bureau search and look for any other contact numbers for them and you will see they do not exist. Or just ask them out right who does the processing for such a big company and you might be surprised to find out where your statement comes from after you sign the contract.
BEWARE! Echelon Direct is a new company name for this scam. Josh Tornberg a.k.a. Joshua Matthew Tornberg, now age 36 (but looks 46), incorporated his company called JT Consulting Group, Inc. on 2/22/10 and is located at 1410 Grand Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109. If you research this guy, he works for Paradigm Direct. On 3/31/11, a guy named Joe Butler called my business. I explained to Joe that I am not interested in switching my processing company. He kept interrupting me and giving me his sales pitch about providing wholesale rates and having the ability to save me money. I told him I was NOT interested. He was so annoying and pushy, so I finally told him to go ahead and set up the appointment with his Regional Account Manager for 7:30 a.m. the next morning at my office JUST to get him off of the phone. Joe's supervisor, Ryan, called about 30 minutes later. I told Ryan that I was NOT interested in switching, but he insisted that my meeting with Josh Tornberg would change my mind. I told him he could come at 7:30 if he insists. On 4/1/11, at 7:30, Josh Tornberg arrived. He waited for about 15 minutes in his tan Nissan Murano, Arizona License Plate AKN3260, came into the office, helped himself to our notepad and wrote a note indicating that JW was going to call and reschedule for my "upgrade". When my general manager came in and asked what he was doing, Josh rudely told him that he needed to hear him out, since he drove out so early in the morning...blah, blah, blah. When it was clear that Josh was not going to win our business, he started cursing. The GM told him to leave, and Josh told him to "make me". Needless to say, we called 911 on this guy. He is very lucky that #1 he didn't get arrested, and #2 he didn't get the daylights knocked out of him by my GM. The information on the business card he left at our office: Echelon Direct, EDMS, Merchant Solutions, [protected] Ext. 3492, [protected], Josh Tornberg, Regional Account Manager. I've attached photos of this idiot so that you know what he looks like. After thoroughly investigating this guy, it is very clear that he is not a legitimate business person...no website, no e-mail address, several different business names, threats of a class action lawsuit, all his associates are shady...save yourself some time and money and just hang up on these ###s.
Don't get fooled by [edited] sales pitch, he is the most HORRIBLE sales associate around. Not only does he tell you Paradigm Direct will be saving you money, which is a lie, he disappears after signing you up. I have been trying since June to contact him and he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I have a small independently owned coffeehouse in Chicago, switching to Paradigm Direct and giving [edited] the time of day, have been the absolute WORSE decisions I have made in the 11 years I have been in business. I strongly discourage any business to use this service.

They now added a $90 inactivity fee. I pay them more per month than I pay my current processing company.

There is power in numbers! I have joined Luis Kim and his group of scammed small business owners ! Anyone else that thinks they have been lied to, signatures forged, bate and switch scammed or any other lie by Ladco or any sales person or company doing business for or with Ladco needs to join in the fight. This is just flat wrong and we need to get everyone involved from the car mechanic to the sandwich maker to the computer repair guy and any other hard working small business owner with a Ladco horror story to tell !
We will start the class action suit. Now we are gathering more people.
Please be a part of us and contact me at [protected] or wacafehue@gmail.com.
You are not alone. Don't give up.
If you have been scammed by Payment systems, Azura or Ladco, please contact me.
