Seems someone in GB had ordered from several places, several hundred $$ worth of body building stuff
Sent me a new card and a form I had to sign stating I had no way benifited from those purchases
Done deal.

this thread is tl;dr
but I just want to say, I had a similar problem with AmEx, I disputed a series of bogus charges on my AmEx bill. One came back for a garage door installation.
I disputed it as fraudulent. They wrote me back a form letter stating the case was closed, with copy of a receipt with a scribbled signature but no card impression.
I called the AmEx customer service line, and the agent quickly calmed me down and reopened the case.
Two weeks later they declined my card at Home Depot. I called to complain, and they told me they issued me a new card due to suspicious activity. The charge was credited.
I bet you have to do the same. Reopen the case and a real human will see exactly what happened.

You could also file a sworn affidavit with the issuer that you did not make the charge. |

Once the fraudulent transaction is reported, they a) cancel the existing card b) mail a new card under separate cover and c) send you an affidavit to be signed by you asserting that you did not make the charges, that you need to mail or fax back to them. Did you ever receive such affidavit, and, did you sign it and return it to them?
Nope, and no request was made. I'll be calling their number within an hour or two here though, I'll let people know what they say. |

said by Koil:I get the feeling this is one of those things, similar to how insurance companies will do, where the deny almost everything at first, and then wait for you to come back and dispute before they do any real legwork on the transaction. You beat me to it.... I was thinking the same thing. They do this to everyone and enough people "accept" this and pay the charge.
As for small-claims court, you may very well "win" but no one will force Chase to remove the charge. |

While the majority of consumer card fraud cases can be resolved satisfactorily with the issuing bank over the telephone or via online communications. However, never allow the 60 day window to expire on unresolved cases.
In Thaler  's case, Chase's failure to send him a fraud affidavit to be completed indicates that his case was not handled properly from the beginning. A completed fraud affidavit is necessary to finalize the chargeback to the merchant. Clearly something went wrong at Chase in response to your fraudulend charge complaint.

On the phone now ATM, but my small claims suggestion was to pay the amount in question, then request the exact same amount back in small claims court. |

Alright. just got off the horn with Chase. Apparently my initial fraudulent charge claim was filed under a customer charge dispute rather than a fraud case. Once the paperwork made it up to the fraud department, I guess someone forgot to dot the i's and cross the t's and so they sent me that receipt as a proof of services rendered.
The current Chase fraud representative pushed forward a refund of the amount (plus interest accrued) to be seen electronically within 24-48 hours, and to be fully cleared on paper within 1 to 2 billing cycles. So, while I'm not particularly thrilled to have to play Chase department hopping, I'm satisfied to get the charge & interest removed. |

Yeah, it's always a blast to sit down in person in front of someone's desk (a manager or customer service rep or whomever), and then watch them have to jump through all of the same hoops that their employer makes you jump through as a customer, and then they run into exactly the same frustrations! I've had this happen a few times now, and I've generally taken it as a sign that I need to move my business elsewhere.
The last time something like this happened it was over a minor ATM issue (it shorted me $20), and I parked my car and went directly into the bank to speak to someone in person (several people, actually), where this theoretically could have been resolved in minutes. Instead, because the bank's ATM is considered a separate financial entity, and in fact is owned and managed by a third-party, it took dozens of interactions on everybody's part (including multiple visits and phone calls from me) and something like 60 or 90 days to resolve - whatever the maximum legal limit is to the amount of time they have to drag out their "investigation". From a cost perspective, they would have been better off to have just handed me the $20, no questions asked. |

Actually, you can do fun stuff to a defendant of a legal action that refuses to pay a judgement. Failing to comply with any court order is bad news regardless of the size & clout of the person/party involved. |

said by trythisfirst :I had a legitimate fraud deal with chase one time. I don't feel like typing up a long post about it, needles to say i use a different bank now, they basically just played dumb and wouldn't do anything about a discrepancy.
Same reason I left them. And I wonder about it to this day. I pay up my cards every month, no interest. They were trying very hard to sell me additional fraud protection. I ask you, if they were receiving no interest, would a credit card company engineer a fraud to scare you into buying more protection? What is the ratio of those defrauded to those who pay up fully every month?
Yeah, I'm suspicious. Modern business practices have made me that way. |

said by Bamafan2277:Now I bank with a local bank and the customer service is amazing! I had my card stolen with the local bank a few months ago, they issued me a new temp card on the spot and reversed all transactions as they happened across country after I signed that it was not me and that was it.
I agree with this 100%, While I have never dealt with Chase. I have had a bad experience with Bank One (which chase bought). I now bank with a regional bank (has several billion is assets). The customer service is 100 times better. I left the country I called and told the I was only going to make a few major purchases They watched my card the whole 2 weeks I was gone. Another time my card was involved in a online bank scam. They called me told me about it. They where going to cancel my card but instead they limited me to just Texas purchases until I could get to bank on Monday to get a new card. This is why you should run away from Chase and all major banks... No personal service. I have all of the same benefits that you do except not so many of the problems. |
