How to Dispute the Charge With Your Card Issuer

Your maximum liability for an unauthorized charge is $50, and many issuers waive even that.8Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
Send a written dispute to your card issuer’s billing inquiries address within 60 days of the statement date on which the charge first appeared. Include your name, account number, and a description of the charge. The issuer must acknowledge your dispute within 30 days and resolve it within 90 days. While the investigation is open, you can withhold payment on the disputed amount without being reported as delinquent.8Federal Trade Commission.
