If you enter into a legally binding agreement and the company is fulfilling your agreement to all the terms and conditions set forth then please understand that even if you dispute your charges to your credit card company they will more than likely be reversed. Further it is an illegal action taken on your part if you have entered into a legally binding agreement and your agreement is not breached and you are outside your cancellation period. It is always very wise to make sure that you read over your entire agreement to the fullest and contact any company with any questions you may have.

Have you ever been tempted to sign up to win a "free" trip at a fair, trade show or restaurant? If so, you may get a phone call, letter, unsolicited fax, email or postcard telling you that you've won a vacation. Be careful. It may be a "trip trap." The vacation that you've "won" likely isn't free. And the "bargain-priced" travel package you're offered over the telephone or Internet may not fit your idea of luxury. While some travel opportunities sold over the phone or offered through the mail, Internet or by fax are legitimate, many are scams that defraud consumers out of millions of dollars each month. The word "offer" can be a clue to hidden charges. When you get the phone call, or place the call in response to a postcard, letter, fax or Internet ad, you also get a sales pitch for a supposedly luxurious trip - one that you could pay dearly for. The salesperson may ask for your credit card number to bill your account for the travel package. Once you pay, you receive the details of the "package," which usually include instructions for making trip reservation requests. Your request often must be accompanied by yet another fee. In addition, many offers require you to pay upgrade costs to receive the actual destinations, accommodations, cruises or dates you were promised. Some offers may require you to pay more for port charges, hotel taxes or service fees. See a pattern developing? New charges are being added every step of the way. You may never get your "bargain" trip because your reservations may not be confirmed or because you must comply with hard-to-meet hidden or expensive "conditions." YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK BY ASKING YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY VISA/MASTERCARD AMERICAN EXPRESS..TO GIVE YOU BACK YOUR MONEY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE COMPANY TO HAVE TO GIVE YOU BACK THE MONEY FOR THE THINGS THEY PROMISED AND FAILED TO HOLD UP THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO GET THE MONEY BACK UP TO 6 MONTHS AFTER THE RIP OFF OCCURRED AND YOU CAN CONTACT: Several organizations can provide additional information and help you with complaints. Your state Attorney General or the Attorney General in the state where the company is located probably has a division that deals with consumer protection issues. The American Society of Travel Agents, Consumer Affairs, at 1101 King Street, Alexandria,VA 22314, may be able to mediate your dispute with an ASTA member. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them.
