Denied Claims 

Denial reasonDescriptionMessage to member
Duplicate DisputeThe member has at least one other open claim where the same transaction is being disputed.During the course of our investigation we determined that the following disputed transactions exist in claim 12345678.  These disputes will be withdrawn and any additional processing will proceed on the referenced claim.
Merchant Issued CreditThe member's account has received a refund for the disputed transaction, therefore, a dispute is not needed.After reviewing your account, we determined that the merchant issued the following credits for the disputed transactions: 05/XX/2022 MERCHANT NAME $500
Money TransferThe member authorized a purchase through a money transfer merchant (CashApp, Zelle, Paypal, etc.). Since the money transfer merchant completed the transfer of funds successfully, they did their part. The member should resolve the issue with the payee or money transfer merchant directly.The transaction was processed by a money transfer merchant. Money transfer merchants are not responsible for the delivery or suitability of goods or services. Money transfer merchant’s sole responsibility is to ensure funds are successfully transferred between payer and payee. As such, we have determined that no error occurred.
No Error

This denial reason can be used for a few scenarios, so review the notes on the claim for specifics. Possible explanations:

  • The merchant rendered services/merchandise according to the agreement
  • The disputed transactions have been identified as authorized and are not fraud
  • The member did not provide enough information for chargeback within the required timeframe
  • The member did not respond to merchant documentation within the required timeframe
We have thoroughly investigated your claim and determined that no error has occurred, and we have no rights to continue with your dispute. If you are able to provide new information that supports your claim, we can reopen your dispute.
Not PostedThe transaction did not post to the account. After reviewing the account, it was determined the items did not post. One or more authorizations were processed on your card, but did not result in settled (cleared) transactions. Therefore, we are closing the dispute for the specific items listed. If you see the transactions post at a later date, please contact us to open a new dispute.
Out of Timeframe

The member has a responsibility to identify and report unauthorized/cancelled charges in a timely manner. Here are two reasons this denial reason is used:

  1. The transaction occurred too long ago for us to complete a chargeback (typically 120+ days ago)
  2. The member is disputing several recurring transactions, however, only a few of the earliest payments are eligible for chargeback
After careful review, we regret to inform you that we are unable to intervene on your behalf with the merchant.  Your claim was received beyond the applicable time limits; therefore, we have no rights to continue with your dispute.  At this time, we suggest you contact the merchant directly for resolution.
Posted LateThe transaction was authorized to post on a specific date, however, the transaction posted several months later (180+ days later). Although the charges were originally made at an earlier date, our records indicate the charges failed to post to your account at that time. This may be why the charges were in question. As a result of our research, we have determined that no error occurred with this transaction.
Proof of AuthorizationAlthough the member reported the transaction as unauthorized, the merchant provided sufficient documentation proving that the charge did come from the member. The merchant has provided documentation that indicates you participated in the transaction and agreed to the terms and conditions at the time of the purchase. The documentation we relied on in making our decision to deny your dispute is attached.
Valid Card PresentThe member disputed transaction(s) as fraud and confirmed they always have possession of their card. However, the transactions were made in-person, and therefore, we cannot move forward with the claim.We have now concluded this investigation. We have determined that no error occurred as the services were rendered by the merchant listed in the dispute. Your physical card was present where the CHIP and/or PIN were authenticated at the merchant's terminal, with no errors, and the card was in your possession when the transaction occurred.
WithdrawnThe member rescinded their claim. This correspondence is to confirm that we have received a request from you on 04/XX/2022 2024 to withdraw the dispute received from you on 05/XX/2022 2024 for the following transaction(s)…
