3. There are adult sites that still have us on there form the old iBill. Even though we never processed for them under the new company
4. News, plain and simple, iBIll is news, maybe not good news to most but news.
Anything can be re-branded with effort, don't think so, let's test it.
Do you have Tylenol in your medicine cabinet? Why would you? remember when Tylenol was laced with cyanide and killed people?
What about the last time you had Jack In The Box? if you live in a area where they are?
Why would you? remember they killed people with e coli?
The bottom line is the two companies above were at fault with issues within their company and they bounced back.
iBill CO had nothing to do with iBill FL and we need to bounce back because of the name and were up for the task.

If you have nothing to do with the old Ibill wouldn't it be easier to just start a new company? If you have the money to pay back what is owed to webmasters that got screwed by Ibill (although really, let's be honest, only a small percentage of those people are going to be paid) couldn't you just use that money to brand the new program and get new clients instead of a. having to pay off old debts of a company you have nothing to do with and b. having to fight a huge uphill battle against people who are prejudice against you?
Seems to me it would be a lot easier to just create your own reputation from scratch than try to repair a very damaged one.
