Steps to Dispute Incorrect and Fraudulent Credit Card Billing

It is now more crucial than ever to review your credit card billing account. By doing this on a regular basis, you may safeguard yourself against fraud and billing mistakes that could have an adverse effect on your credit history and, more critically, your financial situation.

For instance, even if you believed you had terminated your internet service, your credit card was still charged for another time. Possible double charges for the same item. Alternatively, it is also possible that you were charged for a service or item you didn't request.

What is a billing error in a credit card?

An inaccurate or illegal transaction on a credit card statement is referred to as a billing error. This may happen for a number of reasons, such as a merchant error, a processing blunder, or an illegal third-party charge. Duplicate charges, inaccurate amounts, and charges for products or services that were not received are all examples of billing mistakes. It’s crucial to routinely monitor your credit card account and to immediately challenge any inaccuracies.

The Payment Card Networks Act in Canada provides consumers with protection from credit card billing problems. This law establishes guidelines for the security of customer data and the resolution of complaints involving credit card transactions. The statute mandates that financial institutions look into and promptly resolve any billing-related issues. Any unlawful or inaccurate expenditures that appear on a customer’s credit card account are subject to dispute, and the financial institution is required to look into the matter thoroughly before coming to a decision. Consumers can complain to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) or the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions if the disagreement is not addressed to their satisfaction (OSFI).

 

How to Dispute a Billing Error and Fraud Charges

In Canada, disputing a billing error or fraudulent payment on your credit card can be a difficult procedure, but you must take action to safeguard your financial interests. The procedures you can take to contest a billing error or fraud charge are as follows:

  • Review your statement

Pay close attention to your credit card statement and look for any erroneous or illegal charges. For each mistake or fraud charge, make a note of the time, sum, and name of the merchant.

  • Contact your card issuer

To report a mistake or fraudulent charge, call the customer support number located on the back of your credit card. As you describe the problem, including any information you have learned regarding the alleged error or fraud.

  • Documentation

If asked, give your card issuer any supporting records (such as invoices or emails) that could support your claim.

  • Follow up

Verify that your card issuer is handling your dispute and that you have given them all the relevant information by contacting them again.

  • Think about making a complaint

If your issue is not handled to your satisfaction, you could think about submitting a complaint to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) or the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).

  • Monitor your account:

Continue to keep an eye on your account to make sure that any fraudulent or erroneous charges have been eliminated and that your account balance is accurate.

 

When disputing a billing error or fraud charge, it’s important to respond quickly to reduce the possible damage on your credit score and financial condition. By taking these actions, you can contribute to your rights’ protection and hasten the issue’s resolution.

I would just like to thank Suma for really making feel comfortable throughout this entire process. Everyone tells you to watch out for gimmicks, quick fixes, and everything else that comes with Debt. Ive had other companies who had made promises and under delivered. However Suma and her team are quick to provide the right answers and guide everyone in a way towards better credit. She has made it seamless with great communication and availability. I have personally referred her to several of my closest friends and i would recommend her to anyone else looking for consolidation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Debt Consolidation is a negotiated debt settlement offer made between you and your creditors with the help of a Debt Relief Agency in Ontario. Some key benefits of Debt Consolidation are interest-free program, no upfront fee required, combined monthly payment into one affordable amount, no lawsuits, and many more.

Yes, your assets are safe from creditors. A licensed debt relief agency in Ontario will help you come up with an offer to your creditors that will make sure your assets will be out of the paper.

No, in fact, this is one of the great advantages of a Debt Consolidation Program. All wage garnishment will stop from the day you filed the proposal.

The effect on your credit score is not going to be severe. Your credit score will most probably go to R7 Rating and will remain in your credit report for another 3 years after you completed the program. This means that it will not be permanent and you will still be able to rebuild your credit score.

 

This varies depending on the proposal you will be discussing with the help of a certified debt relief agency. It is also worth noting that debt consolidation cannot exceed more than 5 years.

If a debt is shared, you need to file a joint debt consolidation offer to your creditors. However, in most cases, in which the debts are individually incurred will have no impact on your spouse.

After three missed payments, your debt arrangement with creditors will be broken and you will end up getting chased again for the original debt amount plus interest.

A debt consolidation offer can be paid off earlier if you can. In this way, you receive your “Certificate of Completion” sooner and you can immediately start rebuilding your credit score.

Let’s Just Put It Simple....... Not All Hero's Wear Caps........I spoke with Suma over a fairly lengthy period of time because of my busy schedule and lack of free time on my part, and she was not only extremely patient and understanding, but also beyond helpful And informative. Any question I had and no matter how many times she had to explain it to me she took her time to make sure I completely understood every single step and process before she moved on to the next thing. I have been so stressed out and worked up about my debt and trying to figure out how to fix it all since I know I will not be returning to work at all in the future because of medical issues and being 26 with that realization makes things just that more stressful but Suma made everything so easy and my payments are $100 a month for less then 5 years with no interest or penalties for early pay off. I’m so glad that I didn’t settle with some other place that was asking for $350 + a month for 7-12 years and paying off early would cost you more.
