Chargebacks & Refunds (Recover Stolen Funds)

Chargebacks represent a form of customer protection, allowing credit card holders to dispute a transaction and to reclaim their money, provided their chargeback claim is indeed accepted. A chargeback will essentially void the transaction you made with the company, forcibly removing the funds from the fraudulent company’s account and returning it to the balance of the credit card holder.

As a fallback option for the consumer, the chargeback is a powerful tool indeed. Its power however should not be abused in any shape or form. Most people seem to consider chargebacks the slightly-more-radical equivalents of refunds. That, they are not.

Introduced by the Fair Credit Billing Act of 1974, chargebacks were meant to protect consumers from fraudulent transactions perpetrated by criminals, as well as from the sub-par services and abuse of various unscrupulous merchants.

Sub-par services and downright fraud is unfortunately quite wide-spread in the online world, so having such a tool at their disposal is definitely a net positive.

In order to properly wield the power handed to you by this customer-protection tool, you need to understand the nature of the chargeback thoroughly.

How Are Chargebacks Different From Refunds?

When filing a chargeback, the customer goes over the head of the merchant and has the bank forcibly return his money, without the consent of the latter. By contrast, a refund is an agreement between the two parties involved in the transaction, and as such, it does not bring the bank into the dispute as a decision-maker.

Chargebacks offer a plethora of advantages – in the short-run – and to all market participants over the long-haul. Their mere existence keeps merchants honest and always striving to offer their customers the best possible services and products.

Are Chargebacks Legal?

In case of fraud (such as a string of unauthorized transactions resulting from identity-theft) the card holder has every legal right to resort to this “weapon.” Indeed, there have been cases involving chargebacks, which were meant to recover money stolen by fraudsters.

When the existence of fraud is merely suspected though, card holders are always advised to contact the merchant first. The way of the refund should always be the preferred one, as it’s much quicker from the perspective of the customer and it allows the merchant to recover its merchandize and sell it again for profit. Refunds also stave off the possibility of “friendly fraud” and spare both parties the unpleasant ramifications resulting from chargeback-abuse.

What Exactly is ‘Friendly Fraud’

In essence, it is chargeback abuse. Sometimes, consumers decide to skip the refund process, because it is too cumbersome. They may experience buyer’s remorse, they may run out of patience waiting for the merchandize to arrive or they may aim to avoid certain handling fees.

In such cases, chargebacks are unjustified, and as such, they stray into the realm of fraud.

The Chargeback Process

Here’s what really goes on when you file a chargeback:

You first notify your issuer (your bank) and request a refund. The bank then reviews the request, and if the claim conforms to regulation, it is accepted. If it doesn’t, the chargeback is voided.

The issuer swings into action and simply strips the acquirer (the bank account of the merchant) of the money in question. It credits it to the victims’s account.

The acquirer then takes action and notifies the account owner of the chargeback, according to regulation. The merchant usually has the right to dispute the chargeback, which it probably will, given the dire consequences of the move for its operation. The acquirer then takes action on behalf of the merchant, re-presenting the chargeback, providing evidence delivered by the merchant.

The issuer reviews the evidence presented, and it takes action, either upholding its initial verdict, or reversing it and posting the transaction again to the acquirer.

From the above, it is rather clear that the chargeback process is a lengthy and costly one. Its consequences are significant for the merchant, as well as for the customer. Repeated chargebacks will result in the levying of fines upon the merchant and eventually the closure of its bank accounts.

A MATCH list entry is also in the books for the affected operator, which in essence kills the chances of it using payment processing services for 5 years. For less severe cases, a hiking of the processing fees and rolling reserves is in order.

From the perspective of the customer, refused chargeback claims are identified as fraud attempt, and they may result in the closure of their bank accounts.

In the case of a successfully disputed chargeback, the customer will end up stuck with the chargeback costs. Due to increased chargeback risk, merchants may hike their prices to compensate.

The bottom line is that while they are indeed potent customer-protection tools, chargebacks can be double edged. They should only be used responsibly, as a last-resort and by no means as a knee jerk reaction when seeking a refund.

What are Charge Back services?

Can charge back services really help scam victims recover money from fraudulent sites?

The short answer is YES!

We strongly encourage you to read on if you’ve been unjustly treated and manipulated by any type of online fraud. Don’t let them get away with your hard-earned money. Due to the large number of scams,  there’s a growing demand for reputable companies that specialize and dedicate 100% of their time into dealing with credit card disputes, as well as fraudulent wire fraud transactions.

Dealing with Charge-back Disputes On Your Own?

It’s definitely possible but you should be aware of some major challenges before you try.

Banks will not allow you to re-file a dispute if you fail on the first attempt, therefore if you make a technical mistake in the filing procedure you won’t get a second change.

Another important challenge to consider is that scam-artists keep in mind the possibility of potential disputes by clients, therefore they will do everything they can to manipulate the credit companies and banks into believing a false narrative.

Winning charge-back cases can result in the scam operation losing their merchant account and ability to process credit cards, therefore you can be sure that they will fight back to ensure your loss.
