Don’t know what they’re doing

Even though we ended our contract over a year ago with RMS after a dispute over charging us for a terminal for years which they failed to collect, they popped out of the woodwork this week with an invoice for over £700, I contacted them and asked what the invoice was for, they stated that I never closed my account, and even after sending proof, they still wanted me to jump through hoops to provide evidence, here is the email I received today from them,
Thank you for contacting RMS. We’re sorry to hear you wish to end your agreement with us. We highly value your partnership and would love to discuss any concerns or explore options to better meet your needs. If you’re unsure about the cancellation of your account, and would like to discuss your options, please reach out to our Customer Success Team at 01749 608 460. We’re here to help and are committed to finding a solution that works for you.

Merchant ID: 2101426569
Agreement End Date: 25/3/22
Requested Cancellation Date: 14/11/ 24 / will back date to 24/7/23


This email contains important information on cancelling your membership with Retail Merchant Services (RMS), including any contractual cancellation fees and how to return your card machine. Please note, you have a Tripartite Agreement with both RMS and Elavon, who handles credit and debit card processing. Below are the steps you must take to terminate these agreements.
How to confirm your cancellation:
Please reply to this email within 30 days to confirm:
Your wish to cancel RMS membership, indicating if you require more than 30 days' notice.
That you understand you must notify Elavon directly to avoid continued charges.

That you are only cancelling the MID mentioned above and you confirm you do not have any other terminals or MIDs associated with RMS. If you do, please provide the relevant information.

Next Steps:
Cancellation Notice: Your cancellation notice period with RMS is a minimum of 30 days. Reply to this email to confirm your cancellation and indicate if you require more than 30 days' notice, including the anticipated closure date. If advance notice is not given, your agreement will be terminated within 30 days from your confirmation date.
Notify Elavon: You must notify Elavon directly to terminate your contract with them. Contact Elavon at 0345 850 0195, queri******.com, or use Elavon Connect. You will continue to be charged by Elavon if you do not close your Elavon account.
Cancellation Charges: If you haven't completed the Initial Term of your Membership Agreement, you may be liable for charges up to the end of the term. This includes a Membership Fee Outstanding for each remaining month of your contractual term, an Administrative Fee for processing your early cancellation, and Liquidated Damages for each remaining month following the cancellation of your Membership Agreement. The Total Cancellation Fee is the total amount payable if you terminate within the next 30 days.

Equipment Return:
Return your card machine and any other equipment after your agreement ends to avoid an additional fee of £399 + VAT per product. You may continue to use your card machine during your notice period.

A terminal invoice will be generated if the equipment is not returned within 7 days from the last day of your notice period.
If you have any further questions, please contact our Support Team at 01224 007774.
Best regards,
Retail Merchant Services Team

This email is a service from RMS.

I followed this complete process at the point of cancellation and now they are asking me to do it again?? You will notice at the bottom the note about charging for the terminal, no doubt I will get an invoice for this as well even though it has been returned and I have all the relevant emails. they do not keep records of internal emails and their administration is appalling. Would definitely not recommend now happily on board with another merchant and not had a single issue.

Reconnecting card machine after moving premises.

I have used RMS for many years and have always been happy with their service. Recently I moved premises and was experiencing problems reconnecting my card machine. After an 18 minute telephone conversation with Dan, who talked me through the process clearly and concisely, I was up and running again. Brilliant!
