Fun with SOFORT

[EukerVoorn]

Read about SOFORT in here last year, about how fantastic they were.

So went to the site and applied for an account. Got a feedback that they would inform me when my account was approved by them. Heard nothing, logged in one week later, status of account was "pending". Then got an e-mail that the VAT number I supplied them with wasn't correct. Strange, it's the VAT number I've been using for decades and gets accepted by everybody else.
After that never heard from them again. Then in Feb they started to send me reminders. They want me to pay them for the account I have with them. Small amounts, but annoying as hell. I thought I was going to take extra money with them, and that they would take their commission off.

Today they wrote they are going to take legal actions against me for the huge amount of 113 euros.

SOFORT please go fuck yourself, first give me back the bike you stole from our family in 40-45. Why is it that once working in the porn biz was really fun, being creative, hanging out with porn whores and making good money, but now at least 50% of my time I have to deal with fuckups of "financial institutes" like yourselves, pirates, and all that other crap?

You know, you would have avoided all those problems if you would have signed up with us for your alternative billing solutions.
Just hit me up, I can set you with any alternative billing solution -including European Direct Pay- that you need and the process will be totally painless.

[EukerVoorn]

I need that direct banking payments that can't be charged back, like iDeal, Sofort, etc can you provide with that?

[Roald]

And what did they say when you informed them about this?

[Klen]

Honestly i dont see point of such services since their services is limited to certain banks only.If entire country would be supported then that would be good.If i would have a paysite, then i would simply open bank account in every EU country where people buy memberships,paying maintenance for those accounts would still be much cheaper then using service like sofort.

[EukerVoorn]

Opening accounts yourself in all countries means having to fly to the UK, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Australia.
I am processing these payments through a German biller now already but the customer interface isn't fantastic and they're expensive. Would be nice to do this with a company that know's what they're doing and have their shit sorted out. If they aren't able to verify a valid VAT number they're wankers.

I can not provide with that. However, our system does phone verification (automated process). This has lower the chargebacks to less than 1%

Also, our system do not require any of the usual ID verification for European DirectPay which is very much appreciated from the customers that uses our system.
