Frequently asked questions

How do I dispute a retail banking bill?

Ask for an itemized statement, note the date and a reference number for the call, and put your dispute in writing so you have a record. Record the call where your state allows it, so you have proof of what you were told. See how to prove what you were told on the phone.

Can I record my call with a retail banking company?

It depends on your state. Some states let one person on the call consent; others require everyone. See call recording laws by state. This is general information, not legal advice.

Should I put my dispute in writing?

Yes. A written dispute creates a paper trail you can point back to later, alongside your notes and any call recording you kept.
