Champs Sports Bar & Grill Co., et al. v. Mercury Payment Systems LLC and Global Payments Direct Inc.
Case No. 1:16-cv-00012-MHC
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia

The case is known as Champs Sports Bar & Grill Co., et al. v. Mercury Payment Systems, LLC and Global Payments Direct, Inc., Case No. 1:16-CV-00012-MHC, and is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The four merchants who sued are called the “Plaintiffs,” and the companies they sued, Mercury and Global, are the “Defendants.”

Plaintiffs contracted with or through Defendants to process payment card transactions. Plaintiffs claim that on monthly invoices sent to them for these services Defendants: (1) marked up the interchange fees due to banks and the access fees due to Visa and MasterCard rather than pass the fees through at cost, and (2) charged fees that were not authorized by the contracts. Plaintiffs sued Defendants for breach of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment, and violation of the federal and Georgia RICO statutes. The lawsuit seeks to recover the amount that merchants were overcharged and other relief. Defendants deny that that they acted improperly and assert they have no legal liability. The Court has not yet decided whether Plaintiffs’ claims have merit.
