The FCBA allows consumers to dispute billing errors by sending a written notice of the dispute to the creditor. To trigger duties under the Act, a person must send a written dispute via mail (US Postal Service) to the "billing inquiries" address on their credit card statement. This dispute must be received by the creditor within sixty days of the statement date on the account statement that first contained the billing error.[3] This often leads to a chargeback to the vendor.
After receiving notice of a dispute, the credit issuer must acknowledge the dispute within thirty days, investigate the claim and, within ninety days, either make appropriate corrections to the account or send a letter to the consumer explaining why the creditor believes there was no error. If the creditor responds that they believe there was no error, the consumer can request copies of documentation supporting the validity of the disputed items.

What is Screen Printing? Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making a design which is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph. The minimum order for screen printing is 6. The estimated ship time is 7 to 10 business days
What is Digital Transfer Printing? Used in conjunction with a computer and a heat press, the Digital Transfer can produce single or multiple colour transfers in a wide variety of high performance materials. Many of our digitally printed items can be printed and shipped within 48 hours. Unlike more traditional forms of garment decoration, there are no screen or set up costs involved and results in superior durability. We use the industry's most innovative digital media. Small orders are usually digitallly printed. Digital transfers are perfect for printing high quality custom graphics on a thermo-resin print and cut system. We suggest that you specify the pantone value if you need an exact color match, since we cannot guarantee the exact color reproductions as shown on your computer monitor. We can come very close in many cases.
What is Sublimation? Is a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto fabric. Dye-sublimation printing process is primarily used to print on polyester or other synthetic fabrics. a dye-sublimation printer produces true continuous tones appearing much like a chemical photograph. The dye sublimation inks are a pigment suspended in a liquid solvent, like water. The images are initially printed on coated transfer paper as a reverse image of the final design, which is then transferred onto polyester fabric in a heat press operating at a temperature around 180 to 210 C (375 F). Under high temperature and pressure, the dye turns into a gas and permeates the fabric and then solidifies into its fibers. The fabric is permanently dyed so it can be washed without damaging the quality of the image. We can apply a sublimated logo directly onto a white shirt or onto a twill patch that would get sewn onto a garment. We also can sublimate an entire jersey design that includes, logos, numbers and other personalization requests, but requires a team order of at least 12.
