I'd suggest you email them or call them once more and let them know that
you intend on posting their company name and contact information to the
list and will tell your side of the story to the public.  Give them the
opportunity to respond on the list with their side of the story (there
is always two sides ;).  Call your CC company and decline the charges,
this is a very easy thing to do and the CC company is on YOUR side.
File a complaint with the BBB detailing what happened.

Which payment processor is this for?  Do they provide a method using
binary files on the server or does the processor use a secure site to
post and retrieve information to/from?

Cool! Another payment processor will be added to the list, thanks!

Good luck,
