If you have a charge on your credit card, debit card, or bank statement from Globalinx Corporation in McLean, VA, you may find the following information useful.

  1. You may wish to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of Fairfax County, VA, where Globalinx Corporation is located. Here is a message from them:

    "THE FAIRFAX COUNTY CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ADVERTISING PRACTICES OF GLOBALINX.NET (ONE L, VERSUS GLOBALLINX.NET, 2L'S). GLOBALINX.NET IS CURRENTLY AWARE OF THE OUTSTANDING COMPLAINTS AND HAS AGREED TO RESOLVE THEM. PLEASE CONTACT GLOBALINX.NET DIRECTLY AS IS INDICATED BELOW. IF GLOBALINX.NET FAILS TO RESPOND TO YOUR COMPLAINT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE FAIRFAX COUNTY CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION AT 703-222-8435 FOR A COMPLAINT FORM, OR WRITE US AT CONSUMERPROTECTION@FAIRFAXCOUNTY.GOV."

    The above message was posted on October 2, 2002. For further information, you may wish to visit the website of the Fairfax County Consumer Protection Division at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dtcs/consserv/homepage.htm

  2. To protect your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you should send a written letter to your credit or debit card issuer or bank disputing the charge. Click here for a web page by the Federal Trade Commission that gives you details about how to write your letter. This approach is the only sure way of getting your money back, but you must send the letter so it reaches your creditor (i.e., your bank or credit/debit card company) within 60 days of receiving the bill with the charges you wish to dispute. Do not rely on phone calls, because doing so will not preserve your rights. Only written letters (and not email) have the force of law behind them. Do not delay sending your written letter, because your bank or credit card or debit card company has the right to refuse to help you reverse charges that are too old.
