Dear Billing Department:
Do you think that to not pay me back as promised until July is a strategy to
go beyond the 60 days when the credit card company will take on a dispute?

I understand your concern. I would really like to have your refund scheduled as
early as possible, however, our system automatically sets them up and that is
the soonest date available for your refund. As much as I would like to have it
disbursed to you immediately, our system does not allow us to override the
refund scheduling dates. Thank you for your patience.

I did sign up again on 4/17/07 for three years for over 200 dollars with
Globat.com because I thought they had been honest with me. I tried to upload
onto their web server and after 20 hours of back and forth and poor directions I
decided to cancel my account. I canceled and Globat.com made it difficult to do
so. I succeeded and they then asked me to reconsider and I said no thanks. Today
4/24/07 they sent me an email and said I would receive my refund on July 9,
2007.

After 60 days from a purchase my credit card company will not pursue the case to
get my money back. If a company can influence a customer to believe that they
will receive a refund after 60 days they can then legally keep the money and not
return it.
From my experience I would advise anyone to be careful when dealing with
Globat.com. Very careful.
I am happy it worked out and I would use their service in the future. DM 4/13/07

Dear David,
As per our phone conversation today I am writing you, I did not find any
erroneous charges to your credit card, and as you stated all outstanding charges
have been released. If for any reason you see any charges pop up free to reply
to this email as it will go directly to me. If you have any additional questions
please let me know.
Thank you,

Canceled my credit card and waiting for another. Checked with my credit card
company and Globat.com took off the charges.

Dear Mr. Neumann:
As a person that declares that, they are interested in feedback I am e-mailing
you. I attempted to sign up for 3 years of your web service on Globat.
Immediately I was informed that my credit card did not go through by your
representative. I called the credit card company and they said that Globat
attempted 5 times and succeeded 2 times in taking money out of my credit card. I
was contacted the next day by Globat. I told the representative that I had been
charged two times and wanted to receive a return. He said he would get back.
Globat attempted three more times to be paid from my credit card. This is after
Globat had received the same payment twice. I was contacted by my credit card
company because the transactions were so strange. No one returned my call to me
so I called and cancelled the process. I am contacting you in the belief that
you are unaware of this Globat business practice. I have put this case on my
website and the outcome will be shared. It is possible that unknown to you
particular people are multiply billing your customers for a great deal of money.
Please check into this and immediate refund the entire amount to my credit card.

A long time ago and a short time ago. In a place both near and far away a
professors saw on the internet that Golbat.com what a star web server. I called
then to inquire if they could stream my mp3 files for my web pages. They said no
problem it was done all the time. I gave them my credit card number and waited
for an email to give me instructions how to up load to the site. I got a call
that my card did not go through and they wanted to check the numbers. I happily
gave it to the again. They kept trying and told me it still did not go through.
I told them that I would contact my credit card company and solve any problem.
My credit card company told me that they had paid the $210 bill two times and
refused it 5 times. I explained that it was only to be one time.
The next day I get a call from Globat.com and I am told they still could not get
though. I said they not only got through but double charged. The sales person
said he would check and get back to me. I then got a call from the fraud
department of my credit card company asking me about all these attempts to enter
my card. They told me that Globat.com had attempted 3 more times to charge my
card but were rejected.
I called Globat.com back and got their recording. I told the
recording I wanted to cancel my account and have them credit back my credit card
the two overcharges. I then called back my credit card company and cancel my
credit card number. I also asked them to stop payment on the pending charges to
Globat.com. My credit card company said that they could not stop the pending
charges and to wait for my bill and then protest it. So I asked them what is to
prevent a company from running up a credit card and stalling the customer so
their credit card company will no longer pay? No answer.
Marketing Applications IMBALANCED
For most credit card holders it is difficult to figure out how to get a refund
from a company that charges and then does not fulfill a service. Globat.com from
my experience is attempting to run up my credit card with as many duplicate
charges that they can attain. In my case two. Once this occurs they can stall
the customer into believing their refund will happen in the future. When the
customer does not file to their credit card company and goes beyond a certain
number of days the credit card company will not attempt a recovery. The
Globat.coms can then keep the money. This can represent a fortune in additional
revenue that a customer will not receive for services. It would be interesting
to know how they represent this revenue on their taxes.
This has happened to me once before with Sleepy's. I ordered a mattress and
cancelled before shipping. It took the credit card company and an email to the
president to get my refund.
