General Business ServicesPayment Processing4HighContractor$ implied
A contractor used a personal credit card for a client's cloud account and was unable to remove it or recover charges after leaving, due to lack of control over the billing account and client refusal to pay.
No way for a contractor to forcibly remove their personal card from a client's cloud account without another card or deleting services, leaving them financially liable and reliant on client cooperation.
