without reading the whole thread, did you call your
credit card company and dispute the charges?

I have online access to my credit-card statement and it appears to be
updated nearly in real-time. The charge (from a 20 May transaction)
hasn't appeared. And that, like everything else about this case,
leaves me perplexed: if the FBO submitted a charge to some credit-card
company and they were told the account number was bogus, why just send
me a nice, polite "Past Due -- Please Remit" invoice?

What alternatives do you suggest?

And didn't they
see in the FAA database that the N-number wasn't even active yet?

I don't know what the record looks like for a not-yet-active N-number.

My money says the whole thing will be cleared up Monday morning when you
talk to the FBO.

Curiouser and curiouser ...
