An Odd Question about CCBill Signup Forms

es88 · 2008-04-26, 09:20 PM

Greetings...

This is a bit of an odd question and I'm not real sure that anyone can do anything to help, but it's frustrating enough that I thought I'd ask...

This regards the little message which appears at the top of all CCBill signup forms which reads:

"CCBill LLC is the designated E-ticket Supplier, Payment Processor, and Access Management Provider for [Your Name], [Your Site].
Content Provided By: [Your Name], [Your Country]"

I'm not sure why I only recently noticed this message, but I don't want my name (or any other personal information!) appearing on my signup form. To remedy this, I contacted CCBill and they informed me that I'd need to submit a change of business name form, but that since my business name would have to be updated with Visa, I would have to pay the $750 Visa registration fee again!

Can you imagine? $750 to get my name taken off of a couple of lines on the signup form? I emailed back and forth with the representative for a while, and he assures me that there really is no way around this. He confirms that the business name must be changed, but that in doing so, I must definitely register with Visa all over again.

I asked him if I might be able to remedy this by contacting Visa directly. Surely, they would be willing to make a simple change to my record without charging me $750, I ask. "No," he assures me, they're a company like any other and are out to make a buck. (I knew I should have gotten in on the Visa IPO!).

Any ideas? |badidea|

If anyone knows of contact information at CCBill or Visa I could use to possibly fix this up, I'd be greatly appreciative. Or any other ideas at all, really...

Thank you.
