What to do if your chargeback request is denied

A chargeback denial can be disappointing for a consumer, especially if they feel their claim was valid. However, there are several steps that can be taken in such a situation.

‍

1. Understand the reasons for denial:

It's important to understand why your chargeback was denied. Typically, the bank or payment system will provide an explanation for the denial. This may be due to insufficient evidence, incorrectly filled forms, or missed deadlines.

2. Review documentation:

Review all the documentation you provided in your chargeback request. Ensure it contains all necessary evidence and information about the transaction issue.

3. Seek assistance:

If you believe the denial was unjustified, reach out to your bank or payment system for further consultation. You may need to provide additional evidence or information.

4. Consider alternative options:

If your chargeback request has been definitively denied, consider other dispute resolution options. For example, contact a buyer protection service if available, or consider the possibility of legal action.

5. Learn from the experience for future purchases:

Take lessons from the experience of a denied chargeback. Be more cautious in future purchases, study the seller's return policy and guarantees, and keep all documents and confirmations.

A chargeback denial can be disappointing, but it's not always the end. Follow these steps to try to resolve the situation in your favor and use the experience gained for more informed purchases in the future.
