Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

consumers right to reverse decision about purchase

After attending a free seminar about starting a home business in real estate, I was contacted by phone some two months later. I had not signed on at the seminar but did agree at home by phone. After thinking the matter over I called back the next day and cancelled the deal.I had authorised the seller to bill my credit card for the fee, $6350. The business package had already been shipped so I returned it without opening it. Five weeks later and I still have the charge billed against my account. My question is, how long can they keep the funds, can I pass the interest charges incured on to them and is there any legal recourse I can take to clear up my credit card? Thank you for any information.

You must notify your credit card company in writing

of the dispute as soon as possible. They can frequently

mediate a resolution for you. There is normally a

sixty day time limit to do this.
