Global Travel

I was foolish enough to sign up for the 14-day trial for Global International. I did not decline the offer in the 14 day period and was billed on my credit card for six months trying to get them to cancel. I ended up trying to have Capital One (my credit card company) resolve unanswered emails to GTI. I'm now being billed 279.30 to end the contract (for which I've gotten nothing) and wonder if it will do any good to pay this, or will they continue to bill me and continue to attempt to ruin my credit? Please advise folks as to how risky it may be to deal with GTI.

Continued threats to my credit will most likely be made. They are impossible to contact and use Monterey Financial Services, Inc. for collection and to make threats to report to credit agencies and court action.

I signed up with Global International Travel in 2003 in order to receive discounts on my travels to the Caribbean, which were never available to me. In addition to paying the 495 initial fee I was charged 129 each year thereafter. When I tried to close this account on 3 separate occasions, it was difficult to reach a customer representative. When I finally reached a rep I was told the account would be closed--only to receive another bill months later.

I finally became so frustrated, I let the bill go to collections which ruined my credit. I am still today trying to repair the damage done.

We have a 2000 gmc jimmy that has had the door pins on the drivers side replaced 6 times.1 time under warrenty and 5 times at a cost of 250.00 each time. G. M. tells me this is a wear item . I said they are crazy. No other car or truck i have owned has had to have these replaced. The doors get so lose that you think they will fall off. I say tthey should look into this but Iam always told it a wear item.

On 10/4/06 I was involved in a car accident resulting in totaling my fiance's Envoy XUV.(although the damage is not yet official; we are still waiting to hear from the adjuster) I swerved to the left to avoid the vehicle in front of me that slammed on its brakes abruptly because someone rear ended a vehicle in front of them & another in front of them. Although I was able to avoid the vehicles in front of me; I hit a utility pole. During this time I was driving approximately 40 MPH. I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital; treated for minor injuries & pain, then released shortly after. Our concern, as well as the responding police officer's concern,Fire rescue's and the mechanic's concern of the shop where our vehicle was towed to... neither the driver side or passenger side airbag depoloyed. I was wearing my seatbelt at the time of the accident. The passenger side was wiped out completely. The door was removed,hanging only on a thread,The front tire was ripped completely off, the whole windshield shattered, the front headlights removed, the glove compartment is touching the passenger side seat, as well as the seat being pushed into the back seat of the vehicle. I do not buy the statement from GM in Sept. If consumers are walking away from an accident- and the airbags didn't deploy-the vehicle has done its job.I was alone in the vehicle during the accident. THANK GOD. I know if someone had been a passenger in our vehicle at the time of this accident, the airbag would have been the only saving grace they would have had...however, it did not deply.We have contacted GM through the dealership, and also e-mail, we will contact them again by phone this week. In all reality I walked away by the grace of GOD; not GM. We are getting married next week, make-up can cover bruises & cuts. We are now in the market for a new vehicle,I doubt we will be considering another GM vehicle.

Was promised to recieve residual income if we signed on as a travel agent and paid their fees and a monthly fee for a website maintence fee, were told that all we had to do is sign on 2 people and the other people above us would put other people below us creating an overflow of income for us. It never happend! I feel we were ripped off, I am still paying off the credit card they hit!
