QFD supports automated processes like accounting and lettering, however, recovery for ATM disputes will occur outside QFD. Analysts will continue to complete the required assignments within QFD while working outside QFD to complete the investigation and pursue recovery.
- Documentation
Note: The Review Documents assignment only generates when the Statement of Dispute is required and received. The claim will pend for 10 calendar days after Enrichment is skipped. If the Statement of Dispute is not received within 10 calendar days, this node will resolve and the Review Documents assignment will not generate. The dispute will move onto the Provisional Credit assignment where the analyst can submit a second request for the Statement of Dispute or proceed without documentation.
In this assignment, analysts will review the document to ensure it meets the Statement of Dispute requirement.
Review Documents - Provisional Credit
Note: The Provisional Credit Review assignment will wait for the Statement of Dispute if it's required. Analysts can enter the Provisional Credit node within the 10-day pend timeframe to work the Provisional Credit assignment by clicking on the Proceed without Documents button.
In the Provisional Credit Review assignment, analysts will determine how to handle the dispute: grant provisional credit when recovery is to be pursued, grant final credit to pay the claim, deny the dispute, or pend the dispute for a variety of reasons. For more information on pending the claim, click here.
Provisional Credit Review - Disposition (Disposition Case)
In the Disposition Case assignment, analysts will determine if recovery should be pursued. They can pursue recovery by completing the form, selecting Do Not Pursue Recovery to move the dispute to the Process Liability assignment or make a liability decision immediately, or selecting the Pend option from the Other Actions menu to pend the dispute for a variety of reasons. For more information on pending the claim, click here.
Disposition Case - Recovery
In the Execute Chargeback and Process Chargeback assignments, analysts will submit the chargeback in their firm's system of choice. Know that only one of the two will present: Execute Chargeback or Process Chargeback. If the analyst determines the chargeback should not be submitted, they can select Cancel Recovery from the Other Actions button, which will move the dispute back into the Disposition node with the Disposition Case assignment applied.
Non-proprietary ATM disputes will follow the card resolution path.
Proprietary ATM Recovery
Proprietary recovery options- Balance Review: Review the ATM balance
- Electronic Journal Review: Check the activity records in the electronic journal
- Check item processing: Review the check processing data
- Encoding error: Review records for encoding errors
- Disposition (Pending Response)
The dispute will move back to the Disposition node after executing the chargeback manually in the external system. The dispute will pend for 10 days while we complete the investigation outside of QFD. Once the investigation has been completed, we can manually end the pend period by choosing a response that aligns with the result of our investigation, selecting a response date, and entering our findings in the Notes box.
Pending Response - Disposition (Review Dispute Response)
In the Review Dispute Response assignment, analysts will determine how to handle the claim based on the results of the investigation. Analysts can move the dispute back into the Disposition Case assignment by selecting Pursue Other Recovery Options, which allows them to choose another investigation method. Analysts can write off (pay) or deny the dispute by selecting the respective options.
