Issuing banks are treating merchant records as authoritative over consumer-submitted evidence. The lack of standardized evidentiary requirements for dispute resolution leads to inconsistent and often incorrect outcomes for consumers.

surfaced semanticallyBanks Siding With Defunct Merchants in Credit Card Disputes
Credit card issuers are resolving disputes in favor of merchants who have gone out of business and literally cannot respond to the dispute, denying consumers refunds for goods never delivered. The dispute process treats merchant non-response as merchant victory rather than as evidence the merchant cannot fulfill the transaction. Consumers who purchased from merchants that subsequently closed have no viable chargeback path.
Credit Card Disputes Resolved in Merchant Favor Despite Clear Delivery of Defective Goods

Consumers receive no protection for defective goods when sellers can prove delivery.

Credit card disputes resolved without sharing merchant evidence
Consumers disputing charges for services never rendered find banks siding with merchants without allowing customers to review the evidence submitted by merchants. The chargeback evidence process lacks transparency, creating a structurally unfair dispute resolution dynamic. This affects any consumer relying on credit card protection for failed service transactions.
