What Should I Do Once I Discover an Unauthorized Credit Card Transaction?
Once you discover that your credit card has been used to make unauthorized transactions, you need to report the matter to your credit card company and dispute the transaction(s) in question. In most cases, this will be sufficient in getting reimbursed. However, there are times when credit card companies will refuse to reimburse those who’ve been made victims of credit card fraud. In this case, you should reach out to an unauthorized credit card transactions lawyer who can help you pursue a claim against the credit card company in question.
What Happens if My Credit Card Company Doesn’t Reimburse Me?
When a credit card company chooses not to reimburse those who’ve been stolen from, there are routes the individual can pursue. For example, you can dispute any billing error or fraudulent activity under the Fair Credit Billing Act. To do so, you and your attorney will write a letter to the credit card company regarding the specific unauthorized charges in question and send it to the Billing Dispute address on the back of your monthly statement within 60 days of the date you received the statement.
You should note that sometimes, filing a complaint letter isn’t sufficient, and credit card companies will still refuse to remedy the issue. In this case, we may have grounds to bring a lawsuit against the institution in question. Don’t pursue legal action without competent legal counsel in your corner.
