More New Ibill and Visa shit for Canadians...
 

Just received this a few minutes ago....
I had been assured that having my corp in the USA and paying their ransom fees, everything was OK.

Now they want a "US presence" and " a copy of my lease"....


Is this required by CCbill or Epoch. If not, contact me HERE and I will switch...

Start switching

Why do you think CCbill or Epoch won't follow their lead?

just switch over to EU

Canadians get the bum rush... and why?

Last time I spoke with CCBill, you're good to go, however you aren't for Epoch as of the last time I inquired.

I don't.

And I just payed my yearly registrar fee and my delaware fee...
I am NOW in a Florida Airport. If I had gotten that a few days ago, I would have made them a visit in the Deerfield Beach offices!

I am switching tonight my join pages to my Euro billers with whom I don't have this horseshit...

Time to reactivate my site:

http://www.ibillsucks.info ( com and net ore owned by Ibill ...)

Ibill told me not too long ago that i didnt need a principal living in the US... Glad I never trusted them and still trying to find myself a US principal... and go with either CCBill, Epoch or Jettis...


It would just be nice if CCBill for exemple would try to help canadian webmaster a little more... I've asked them a couple of time some directions on how to find a US principal.. where to go, what their other canadian webmasters have done.. etc... and all I get is ... "you're on your on dude.. we know nothing... " wtf!?

edit: Im incorporated in the states btw.. have my EIN, US mail adress, etc...

I'm almost thinking of using Ibill for an upcoming project. I live two minutes from their office, so it would be nice to have a processor that is so close incase I ever need to bitch them out. :winkwink:

already done.... long time ago..

hum better to ask them if they can install you a room. cause you,ll be there very often... :1orglaugh

That's what I'm doing.

that wont matter... you'll need a principal living in the EU...

anyone has more on this?

This is one of those things that everyone was saying was coming this March.

So you are a Canadian citizen with a USA company? If you have the EIN and file taxes in USA it is all legal.

What brought this on, is the money wired to Canada or something?

what he said

move to costa rica :Graucho

From what I was hearing originally is you have to Have a US citizen as 51% or higher owner in the US company to process with the 3rd party processors. Just having a US business wasn't valid with Visa.

ZoiNk

huh

Interesting but expected.

You will not be able to buy porn with a US based Visa unless it is US based and 2257 compliant. When those other countries catch up to the fact that there will be no aroused genitals or reproductive fluids on their directly accessed domain name - they can rejoin.

Wake up to the news.

I'm staying in the US.
I will be staying with US based 2257 compliant suppliers.

And so should you.

diectfiesta, contact me tomorrow. [email protected]. 954-363-4602.

If they demand more of you - I'm moving too.

Hey Guys,

Have a new alternative for you. HIt me up on ICQ. Don't believe the VISA hype.

Scary thought. Hope that shit wont happen!


Another scary though. Need more input!

A bit tired, just got off the plane.

No, ach into New York Bank. I have my EIN and filed my first IRS report and payment.

I was to open another US corp for a joint venture for six sites that should gross about 40,000.00 a month. Since I was on holiday for the last 3 weeks, well I postponed it. Good thing....

One of the partners in the joint-venture is not only the biggest adult mail-order in Canada, but also the biggest independent ( not a major like Time-life,...) mail order of general product on video and dvd, advertised on most TV stations here , and also rack jobbed in Walmart in the US....

Don't think Visa would want to loose his business...

I was in Fort Lauderdale all day. If I had got this email before, I wouldn't of phone you, but pay you a visit in Deerfield. I was in South Florida for more than 3 weeks....

Why should I spend a nickel to call you. I offer a 800 number to my clients, even during my holidays ( that number follows me) .
Can't you do the same?

What I don't appreciate from Ibill is the lies, or the incompetence. Your choice. Why wasn't I told that 18 months ago????

HAHAHA.

ok, this US lease thing is new.

not hard to get around though - have your US principal lease you a corner of his bedroom closet for $1/month - that would legally satisfy it.

directfiesta:

Sheesh... it's getting worse!!

Can you imagine a normal company rushing into the filing cabinet to find a copy of their lease for a damned processor???

They'd be told to go get fucked!! :-)

Sorry they are screwing you more! I would seriously suggest you get out of that scenario one way or other.

skillfull:


Somebody knows something!! :Graucho

I knew it was all worthwhile :-)

Yeah... what if Ibill starts requires these?

I understand that now it's enough to have any kind of UE address (not necessary company) to process VISA with IBILL.

petepete:

Tis probably better to have a company - in fact several companies in different jurisdictions that can be used as needed. They don't actually cost that much - ya just have to do some research over time and choose what is most suitable.

The VISA rules do not apply to the rest of the world - tho VISA may wish to think so :-) The other banking regions apart from North America have not agreed (and don't look like agreeing) to their crap. This is too complex and does not fit within the laws of several countries, so I doubt there will be much change in IBill EU wanting info!

It sucks, but VISA is behind :2 cents:

You can call me toll free at 888-237-1764 x4602

Are you saying that CCBill doesnt require you to have a principal living in the EU if you are incorporated there !?

Anyone of CCBill on that?

:warning
AND WOULD SOMEONE FROM A 3RD PARTY CC PROCESSOR BE "KIND ENOUGH" TO HELP SOME OF THE CANADIAN WEBMASTERS WITH THE "PRINCIPAL" PROBLEM..!???? Directions would be appreciated :2 cents: (we dont all have friends we trust with our life living in the States.. to use as the principal!!) Is incorporated in EU a solution? And for how long!? lol :helpme

Incorporate in Nevada- You'll need to have a 'resident agent ' there. Have the checks go to that person and then be forwarded to yourself in Canada.

Voice mail. Left you a CLEAR message.

"IBill Sucks" ? :)

Cheers,
Matt

I heard from a little birdy that it's best to give Mark from IBill a call to get the answers. :)

Cheers,
Matt

ibill sucks what can you do

Hey Linda... Im incorporated in Delaware... and have a resident agent there (a lawyer) ... however he doesnt want to be the principal of my company and give out his personal info like SNN#, passport or drivers license to CCBill for exemple...

I think its all like that.. incorporation services offer resident agents but dont want to be the "principal" required by Visa... and give out personall info the cc processors...

Did anyone using incorporation services had their resident agent actually give personal info to the cc processor..?

Direct Fiesta. Would still like to speak to you. You didn't leave a number. I'll track it down with your rep Sharmaine. Mark

We currently have a handful of clients that we are working with to ensure they meet association compliance rules. This is a situation that we hope to resolve with our clients in a manner that benefits all parties. Again, only a few clients have been contacted and we hope to resolve any issues in a manner that will not affect their ability to take transactions. Please contact your sales rep or myself if you have any questions.

Directfiesta,
have you been able to make any progress with iBill
with this issue?

I'd better start switching.

Move to offshores :)

This is Visa requesting the info not iBill by itself.

If you are looking for an offshore merchant account, I can help you acquire them. Feel free to email or call me.
