    Im just guessing, but it sounds to me like the credit card is frozen because the holder is under investigation for security fraud or something similar.

    Interesting though - I've never heard of it.

    Why do you ask?

    It is not accepting the security code. Try to run the card without the security code and it should work.

    Yes, SEC Violation means the 3 digit CCV security code off the back of the card is wrong or somehow incorrect, for whatever reason. Just override that question on your machine and it will likely process

    The code "Sec Violation" means security violation/ It is bad to run the card without the security code and process it because it could be a fraudulent transaction.

    See this link:

    http://www.paysimple.com/paysimple30_help/ps30/a7-cc-failure-codes/Directory_of_Credit_Card_Failure_Codes.htm
    From that it says:

    "Description: Sec Violation
    Failure Code: 63
    Failure Code Definition:
    Security Violation

    What it Means:
    The three digit CVV2 code on the back of Visa/MasterCard/Discover cards, or the four digit CID code on the front of American Express cards is in an invalid format or is for some other configuration reason invalid.
    NOTE: This error will not occur if the number simply does not match the one assigned to the card.

    What to Do:
    Attempt the transaction again without entering a CVV2/CID number. It should process normally.
    NOTE: For added security, you may want to double check with your customer and get a corrected CVV2/CID code. An invalid code can be a red flag for a fraudulent transaction."
