What if a credit card company refuses to fix the unauthorized transaction?
If your credit card company failed to fix and refund you for an unauthorized transaction, you should not try to handle the issue by yourself. Our legal team has significant experience handling disputes just like this, and we are prepared to put that experience to work for you. According to the Fair Credit Billing Act, you have the legal right to dispute any credit billing error, but must first write a clear letter regarding the specifics of the unauthorized transaction and send it to the Billing Dispute address on the back of your monthly statement within 60 days of receiving the statement in question. Our firm is capable of helping you draft this letter. As a result, if filing a complaint with the lender does not completely settle the issue, depending on the details of your case, our firm can bring a lawsuit against your financial institution in an effort to have them resolve the charge.
