Hahaha, you can't get blood out of a turnip and I don't think any contingency lawyer who did half an hours worth of due diligence would touch this case with a ten foot pole.
I feel really bad for Cathy Beardsley and a few others whose loyalty to the past clouded their judgment as to their futures.
The time to have sued IBill is long past, right now I'd say it's time to cut your losses and finish the grieving process. My personal
opinion is that you've cashed your last checks and prayed for them to clear. I've been wrong in the past about billing companies but the times I have are few and far between.
One thing we always did at CCBill when I was there, and that they do to this day, is sell from a position of strength, not weakness. Never cut your competition down, even if it's deserved. Take the high road. Have some class.
I see that CCBill's not the only one taking that road right now. Not sure how I'd feel if I owned a billing company that had just gone through some changes that shocked an industry, but I'm glad to see one that has keeping their focus and only working off of positive vibes and putting out a positive message.
It's also fairly saddening to see IBill insinuating in their client communication that their clients should fear their other processing in the crunch of issues. Too many times in the past, companies resorted to mudslinging when they should have been sandbagging against a mudslide.
Bad processing, in most any way, shape or form, has been the problem for this industry from the beginning. At least in the past, you could claim there were no rules as an excuse for bad behaviour. Now that the rules are crystal clear and the playing field marked, it's time for credit card processors to play on a level field. Take care of the smaller guys and you will reap the rewards, since in their numbers, they not only equal the billing of the larger guys as a group, but they cause you so many less headaches and make you so much more money.
I'll stop ranting now.
