Credit Card Company Refuses to Investigate Unauthorized Charges

A credit card issuer refused to investigate unauthorized charges and denied the dispute without substantive review. Cardholders have a statutory right to dispute unauthorized charges but issuers can close disputes with boilerplate denials. Without regulatory intervention, consumers have no mechanism to compel a genuine investigation.

Credit Card Issuer Misclassifies $5,000 in Unauthorized Charges as Authorized

A credit card issuer classified approximately $5,000 in unauthorized charges as authorized during a billing error dispute, refusing to reverse them. The Fair Credit Billing Act requires issuers to investigate disputes and correct errors, but classification decisions are made unilaterally with no independent review. Consumers facing incorrect unauthorized charge classifications have no escalation path short of regulatory complaints or litigation.
