Terrible Payment System

[SilvertearRen]

So, I'm done with ClickandBuy anyway.

And then I find out they do the majority of their business with gambling sites?

Oh, wow. I would never trust my credit card information with a bunch of gamblers. They usually have good poker faces, and tend to lie ten times out of eleven.

Square Enix, next time, do your damn homework before picking up a payment processor in the future.

Wow.

Because any good news is good to have. This at least clears up the FSA-authorised status situation, even if other concerns remain. Most of it I had picked up and guessed at since sending the inquiry, but it is good to hear it from the regulator themselves.

My original enquiry email:

And this is the FSA response:

What this means for us is that they are indeed operating within enforceable legal bounds. Which means if they f*** up, they have people to answer to.

Of course I'd prefer that didn't happen in the first place...

There's a lot of people who are upset at CnB because they f*cked up, but have chosen the less headache-inducing way: cancelling their cards and leaving CnB to hang on the garrote they made for themselves.

If anyone out there has been screwed by CnB and still want to even things, I hope they contact the FSA with a formal complaint and get an investigation going, because it's pretty clear they need to be dealt with. :\
