Having an issue or problem with a credit card charge?

Having concerns about a merchant charge to your debit or credit card?

If you see a charge you don’t recognize and think it may be fraud, learn more here.

COVID-19 Update:

If your dispute is related to travel, we recommend that you start with your travel provider because many airlines and hotels are being flexible about impacted areas. If your trip has been cancelled and your travel provider hasn't correctly applied their change/cancellation policy, you can submit a billing dispute online.

Here’s a quick way to resolve your concerns:

1. Review the details of the charge

You can review transaction details on your account such as the merchant's name, phone number and your past activity with the merchant.

Charge Errors vs. Fraudulent Charges

Charge Error

A charge error is a transaction you recognize but appears to be incorrect, such as:

  • A recurring transaction or trial subscription you canceled
  • A product or service you never received or received late
  • A one-time purchase you returned or canceled, and you still haven’t received a credit
  • A charge higher than the amount on your receipt
  • A product or service you received and are dissatisfied with
  • Your card was charged even though you used cash or a different card
  • The same card was charged more than once for the same transaction
Fraudulent Charge

A fraudulent charge is a transaction that wasn't made by you or anyone authorized to use your account. You have confirmed:

  • This charge wasn't made by another authorized user on your account
  • You haven't let anyone else use your card
  • You have reviewed the transaction detail keeping in mind some merchants use a different name or address for billing purposes and still don't recognize it
