Overview

...

The Review Representment assignment is generated when the merchant represents in response to the chargeback. This assignment prompts the user to review the merchant documents then determine the next step for the dispute: accept all or partial liability or initiate pre-arbitration. Users will need to know when to initiate pre-arbitration, what information they are looking for in merchant documents for both fraud and non-fraud claims, and how to notate this assignment. Additionally, advise the learner group of whether or not they should send the Representment Communication to the account holder and explain when users will need to send merchant documents to the account holder.

Review step 3D above for instructions.
