Intake Hub
In the Collect stage, we create the case and gather information from the member to begin the investigation. This is what we call the intake process.
Create a Claim
To begin a new claim, click the New button in the upper-left, then the Claim option.
Search for the accountholder by choosing an option from the drop-down.
Select the accountholder.
Select the account.
Select the accurate claim and dispute reason.
NOTE - card claim reasons are shown.
Select the disputed transaction(s).
If the transaction is not disputable due to it being already disputed, its timeframe, or another reason, you will be presented with an error message in red.
Complete the intake questionnaire that matches the claim and dispute reason. For more details on each intake questionnaire, select the desired questionnaire on the sidebar here in Confluence.
If there are any required documents, you'll see the requirement after completing the intake questionnaire.
The accountholder will receive the required document notice in their confirmation letter. The intake specialist should communicate the document request to the accountholder.
The required documentation can be uploaded to this screen using the Attach New button, which will satisfy the document request.

Scenario | Next steps |
The member wants to dispute transactions posted to different accounts. | Create a separate claim for each account. |
The member wants to dispute a transaction(s) that hasn't posted yet. | Pending transactions can be selected on the claim. Complete the Intake process as normal. The system will move the dispute forward automatically once the transaction(s) has posted. |
The member is disputing a temporary hold. Example: A gas station charges $1 to make sure the payment card works. | We can proceed with disputing the temporary charge, but advise the member that the transaction may not post and that they would need to submit a new claim for the posted transaction. |

The disputed transaction cannot be found in the transaction history. | Confirm you're reviewing the correct account if the member has multiple accounts/is a signer on another account.

The member is disputing a partial amount. | Select "No" in the questionnaire when asked, "Are you disputing the full amount of the transaction?" then enter the amount the member wishes to dispute. | |
Denied Claims | ||
Denial reason | Description | Message to member |
Duplicate Dispute | The 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 Credit | The 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 Transfer | The 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:
| 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 Posted | The 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:
| 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 Late | The 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 Authorization | Although 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 Present | The 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. |
Withdrawn | The member rescinded their claim. | This correspondence is to confirm that we have received a request from you on 04/XX/2024 to withdraw the dispute received from you on 05/XX/2024 for the following transaction(s)… |
Existing Claim Follow-Up
Specialists can search for existing claims by entering the member's name, email address, phone number, account number, or card number in the search bar. The most efficient way to search for a claim is using the claim ID (confirmation number) which contains the day the claim was created as the first six digits: 23032100004C.
Specialists will access the claim's Case Status screen. There are five stages displayed:
- Received identifies that the claim has been created
- Information Required indicates that documents are needed to complete the investigation
- Investigation signifies that the claim is being worked and there may not be any additional information needed at this time
- Pursuing Recovery lets us know recovery is being pursued
- Resolved means that the claim has been closed and a final decision has been made
