:mad Ibill has handed over our money to some unknow third party

Latest news:
Payout Update 02/11/05
EU Payout Update
We have reached an agreement in principle with a third party trust on the release of our EU funds currently being held. The third party trust will ensure all client funds, both in arrears and future, are managed and paid from a segregated account. Early next week we will be in a position to formally announce the plan, the process to release past due funds, and outline the payment schedule on a go forward basis.

Again, we thank you for your patience. You can be assured that with our new entrusted third party payment program, all payments will be made on time on a go forward basis.

US, RevShare and Catalog Payout Update
Currently we are not in a position to provide a date on outstanding US, RevShare and Catalog Payouts. As soon as we have more information an update will be provided. Please be assured we have every intention of paying our clients.

From where I sit this is great news, I guess the Inteca trustee rumour is true.

Pretty curious as to why this is all necessary, but for now I'll be happy with it.

ibill never had the money. the banks wont give it to them because of how they're mismanaging the funds. you will never get a dime from ibill, but you will most likely get things worked out with the banks.

Sounds like a trustee has been appointed for there EU operations. So that seems like a safe way for them to say that EU has already filled for Bankrupcy.

A "trust" or trustee is only appointed if you are in receivership or filing Chapter 7.

Expect the same for the US stuff shortly.

This is probably true but not necessarily the case here seeing as the funding issue seems to have come about unexpectedly in January. There has been solid talk going back to December that they were in trouble with their EU processor for not paying out to the appropriate clients and amongst other things diverting the EU money to pay USA clients. They may be required to do this at this point by their banks.

The other scenario is that they may file for their USA operations, but need a way to keep the EU setup intact.

Who knows, hoping for the best next week.

You're absolutely right. That is exactly the point.

"There has been solid talk going back to December that they were in trouble with their EU processor for not paying out to the appropriate clients and amongst other things diverting the EU money to pay USA clients."

For EU, third party ????

That reads : we lost our merchant account, and we transfered our business to a third party against compensation.....

As for US, where they do owe me money, this is hopeless ... They still take my rebill money, months after months, but pay nobody ( it seems ...).
Cancelling rebills is of no interest: my last new signup was end of september, so all rebills are at their 5th or 6th time.... They wont signup with other processor....

The whole Ibill situation is pointless: put your enerdy in new ventures...

Should I put a blog on:

This is certainly an improvement over the previous situation. I have much more faith in iBill's banks than in iBill. Now we just have to wait and see if the pending sale of iBill actually goes though.

From the IBD SEC filing:

"Commencing in January 2005, iBill has not received its normal proceeds from its European Union ("EU") processor as a result of Internet Billing Company Europe, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of iBill, not maintaining a bank account at an EU bank. The EU processor had been forwarding funds to the iBill US accounts, but has declined to continue to send money cross border. The EU processor has agreed to send the funds to iBill once iBill has established an EU account. iBill has received approval from Credit Suisse for a commercial banking relationship and the account is pending administrative set up estimated to be up to 10 days. Without the EU money, iBill has a severe liquidity concern. iBill may also experience losses of business due to the delay in payment created by the circumstances."

So it seems for reasons that are obvious they have ditched the EU bank route in favour of an EU trustee.

Agree!! But remember who wrote this crap :-) It's the usual "pending" and "estimated" words.

Pity iBill forgot to establish an EU presence in full and open a bank account - assuming this statement has any truth.

Who knows, but it's fair to say iBill is not the type of client that banks would fall over themselves and plead to do biz with.

Any money is safer in the hands of *anyone* than left with iBill to manage, - or mismanage.

It's a pathetic joke that any company did not the foresight to have tools in place for almost all incidents which have happened so far. The ability to "look forward" has severe limitations when left to iBill.

Interesting that a company that can't look forward is always "moving forward"

It's true, and the particular trustee mentioned in another post is the one that has been retained.

IMHO the reason they would not set up banking in the EU previously was probably due to their payout operations being based in the USA. It was just easier for them to do it that way. I'm thinking that the trustee will now function as their EU intermediary and they will not have to go with an EU banking presence. Just a guess.

This is all interesting news, and it can only be good for the industry as a whole if Ibill pulls through.

Inclined to agree!

One of the fundamental problems with third party processing is that there is nada protection/insurance for the clients of these companies.

In a way, they are almost like a bank in that their job is transacting other people's money, - but with no controls or oversight.

In the EU these types of companies are often regulated/audited by govt orgs and, who knows, but that may have something to do with iBill retaining operations in the US where there is no control over them.

Should these proposals happen, it may be the start of an improvement and may also be a scenario that may appeal more to banks to be involved in.

Either way.. I smell an increase in Euro transactions and also new transaction processing models in the EU and out of the hands of the North American VISA banking region - and, maybe at arms length with any card companies

I serioulsy dont know why people are still talking about I bill. The money was gone when it was gone.. Did anyone ever think they would pay? I as sure hell didnt. I had to pay out on some $50k dollars to affiliates. I was infact so sure they wouldnt pay I batch cancelled all my i bill members because I knew what they were up to.
Fuck I bill.

In the EU these types of companies are often regulated/audited by govt orgs and, who knows, but that may have something to do with iBill retaining operations in the US where there is no control over them.

Should these proposals happen, it may be the start of an improvement and may also be a scenario that may appeal more to banks to be involved in.

Either way.. I smell an increase in Euro transactions and also new transaction processing models in the EU and out of the hands of the North American VISA banking region - and, maybe at arms length with any card companies

I agree with you there is nada protection its a flawed model. To start a casino and get a gaming license there must so much money in escrow to cover certain amount of winnings I forgot the number. These third party processors doesnt have to have anything aside, no oversight ,no spot checks by auditors and its scary.

Can't remember exactly Tony, but I think there is some substantial sum dumped on the table - but that is just to pacify Visa. They obviously thought thru the third party scenario and are covering their own ass.

But yea.. agree.. it's scary shit and a biz I'd not like to be involved or responsible for under these conditions. It sounds much better to have accountability and funds specifically tied to client accounts as they are recieved from bankers. It's obviously not what is happening with iBill at this time - the lot seems to be in one big melting pot :-)

Next is a solution for the security of funds within North America - else others, possibly via the SEC situation, may help with an enforced "solution"

The best way to proceed for those owed money from Ibill is to believe that you will never get paid. If you do, well then it's a good day. But don't put any stock into thinking you will. It's like playing the lottery. It's ok to play the lotto but don't live as if you think you're going to win the big one any time soon.

The only other thing is to take proactive action by going the legal route but if you do that, you have to weigh whether or not you think the outcome will be beneficial or just a waste of time with your lawyer benefiting from it all.

Yea agree!

iBill have enough shit on the table or on the way - either way, it's pay up time or suffer consequences irrespective of whether the company ceases to exist or not. Other action will still proceed even if they do close doors and it ain't good news for the principals of iBill, IBD or PHSL.

The next few weeks are going to be interesting...anything can happen.
