Card issuers reset FCBA dispute clocks and lose evidence during merchant fraud investigations

This effectively resets statutory investigation clocks and undermines Fair Credit Billing Act protections.

Synchrony Bank closed a defective product dispute claiming insufficient evidence despite the consumer having submitted proof multiple times. The bank's internal dispute process fails to properly record and review uploaded evidence before rendering decisions, leaving consumers with legitimate warranty claims denied on procedural grounds. This pattern of premature closures without evidence review is a structural failure in how credit card issuers handle merchant disputes.
