597.1only if you got itDNEAST::DUPUIS_STEVEABC, it's easy as 1-2-3Mon Aug 17 1992 16:434
    My understanding is that per Federal Law you cannot be forced to
    pay on your credit card for goods and services that you did not
    receive.  Document your case and work it with the issuer of the 
    card.

    re: .1
    
    Absolutely right. You should always pay for items for which you don't
    take TOTAL possession with a credit card. Items such as plane tickets,
    health club memberships, etc. In this way the credit card company
    becomes the creditor to the issuer of the product, not you. At least
    you get something for those high interest rates...
