She used her chase credit card to pay the bill for the ride via square. I thought it said 39. 05 but she was shocked when she opened her credit card bill later that month and it was 935 and 95 cents. Thats right. The charge was more than 900. So she immediately called arrow checker cab and was told she would have to call her Credit Card Company to dispute the charge. So randee filed a dispute with chase. I thought everything world fine. Its such an obvious mistake. A couple weeks later she got a letter from chase. Say ag lost and i would have to pay it. But she noticed in. Tiny print at the bottom of the letter that she could dispute the charge with square. I didnt even know what square was. Its a credit card transaction system that allows anyone like a taxi driver or food vender to accept a credit card. I could only email them, which i did. And i didnt hear back. Thats when she called us. We started with arrow checker cab. Wouldnt go on calm but they said the drivers are independent cab drivers and are not required to use their system and can use scare for payment. So in this case she had to get her own money back and told us, quote, if the merchant had a merchant account with arrow, then we could return the money to the customer right away. We also contacted chase and square. Within two hours she heard from both companies. I got a phone call from chase, and then i heard from square. Promising that this would all get resolved. Joe is consumer actions, Consumer Services manager. You have the right to ask for a charge back from your credit card issuer within 60 days after an erroneous billing. In the end randee was happy.
