Banks deny refunds despite comprehensive documentation from customers
Customers submitting complete documentation for disputed transactions still have refunds denied by major banks with no explanation of what additional evidence would be required. The dispute resolution process lacks transparency about decision criteria and provides no actionable feedback. Affected customers have no path to escalation beyond regulatory complaints.
