Reply #4: That bullshit

[Horse with no Name]

If you READ the links, the people being affected by this ARE NOT deadbeats, they are financially stable people who "Certegy" is attempting to blackmail into using their "Gold Service" (at a cost to them).
This is just another database, but it has a darker side. Called extortion. You buy a membership, we will take your fucking name off of the list.
IT.IS.BULLSHIT.
I personally would refuse to be further inconvenienced and just boycott the companies using this company who employs extortion to financially sound customers.
But I would not do so until I had written letters to the companies telling WHY I no longer shop their fucking store.
