Debit & Credit Card Disputes
What is a credit card chargeback? What is the process for getting a chargeback on a debit card? When Can You Get a Chargeback on a Credit Card or Debit Card?
Unauthorized Use and Genuine Mistakes
Requests for debit and credit card chargebacks may arise from fraud, identity theft, or the illicit use of the card or card number. This is considered unauthorized use, and the cardholder isn’t liable. In these cases, a credit card chargeback is fairly straightforward.
Disputes also arise regarding the bill itself. Genuine mistakes happen. Your monthly statement may include a charge for services or products you did not order, services or products you did order but never received or items the merchant, for whatever reason, did not provide.
From time to time consumers may also notice an inadvertent overcharge for a legitimate purchase. Contact the merchant immediately if you discover this sort of problem. Keep in mind, however, that billing error rules grant debit or credit card chargebacks only for specific disputes.
Dealing with the Debit Card and Credit Card Chargeback Dispute Process
You can improve your chances of getting a credit card chargeback if you:
- Disprove unauthorized charges instantly – preferably before the next two billing cycles.
- Purchase with a credit card rather than a debit card − a credit card offers more security features and provides the consumer with more protection.
- Exercise patience and kindness when dealing with your bank’s credit card dispute department − it’s worthwhile to stay on their good side.
- Consider hiring an attorney only after you exhaust all other avenues since the fee for representation can exceed the amount of money you want to recover.

Credit Card Disputes vs. Unfair Merchants
Fees most customers wouldn’t notice in the fine print are referred to as “gray charges.” These typically appear in small print usually in the “Terms and Conditions.” Some examples are automatic renewals, mysterious subscriptions, cost creep, or “free” products that wind up costing money.
There may be a symbolic or minimal initial charge, but after a period of time, you may be paying for something you didn’t want. If so, you enjoy legal protection and can usually get a credit card chargeback.
You can also get a chargeback on a credit card if merchants try to refuse a refund when one is justified. The merchant may have not delivered your items or provided a service. During the COVID-19 crisis, many people sought credit or debit card chargebacks when they ordered plane tickets, and flights were canceled because of the pandemic.
