How much does it cost to dispute a credit card charge?

In South Carolina, the cost to dispute a credit card charge will depend on the type of credit card and the dispute itself. Generally speaking, there are no costs associated with filing a dispute with the credit card issuer. As such, you should not expect to pay any associated costs upfront. Most credit card issuers will begin the dispute resolution process by conducting an internal investigation. During this process, the cardholder will not be required to make any payments. If, however, the credit card company determines that the charge is valid, they may charge the cardholder a fee for the time and resources spent on the investigation. This fee will typically be minimal and a one-time charge. Additionally, some credit card companies may require the cardholder to pay a fee to the credit card issuer before it begins a dispute resolution process. However, this fee is usually only required if the cardholder is not successful in the dispute resolution process. In some cases, the credit card company may require the cardholder to provide additional information or proof to prove their dispute is valid. If the cardholder is unable to provide the required information, the credit card company may require them to pay a fee for the cost of obtaining the necessary paperwork. However, this fee is usually minimal and will only be charged once. Overall, the cost of a credit card dispute largely depends on the cardholder’s dispute and the credit card company the cardholder is using. In most cases, the cardholder should not incur any upfront costs associated with disputing a credit card charge.
