Dispute a charge

Much like writing a dispute a fee letter, dispute a charge letter is basically the same thing but usually the charge is from a monthly service already being paid for. Sometimes, a fee erroneously pops up from a service people didn’t know about but an erroneous charge is usually a misunderstanding.

Steps

Starting to Write

1

Dispute the charge and let the recipient or agent know where the charge is coming from.

2

State why you feel the charge should be removed and why it’s their responsibility.

3

List any supporting evidence you have that the charge in fact does not belong to you nor are you responsible.

4

Leave relevant contact information for the agent or customer service to get a hold of.

Dispute a charge Sample


Dear Customer Service,

I was recently staying in your 1st class suite hotel and noticed there was a charge on my card that I did not accept or even utilize the services for. I was charged with one back massage and therapy treatment which has to be a mistake because I did not utilize that service.

Here is a list of services that I utilized while I stayed at your establishment:

  • One bottle of white wine for $49.99
  • One room order of the chicken dinner special for $20.25
  • One pay per view special for a wrestling event which totaled $52.00

That was it and that’s the only transactions showing on my card at the date of the checkout, this is a recent transaction that’s not on my receipt upon checking out and I would like it to be fixed immediately.

I have enclosed a copy of my receipt and my same day checkout card transaction list, you will find that a massage is nowhere on this list.

Please get back to me at 192-309-2091 to discuss this matter and hopefully we can resolve this.

Sincerely,

LIlian Marshal
