Merchant disputes

Review a late-presentment dispute

Ask your payment operations team to reconcile the transaction timestamps with the rule cited in the notice.

Records to compare

  • Authorization timestamp
  • Capture and settlement timestamps
  • Processor and network references
  • Any resubmission, outage or adjustment record

Check the conclusion

Use the actual notice and current acquirer instructions for the timing rule. Do not apply a deadline borrowed from a different network or transaction type.

Prepare the response

Use the response guide to connect each statement to a record. Check the evidence and follow the deadline and submission requirements in the actual dispute.
