Chase Credited Me $1,200 After a Fraudulent Charge Within Hours.

I checked my Chase account and found a $1,200 charge from a retailer I had never heard of. I called Chase immediately. The fraud department answered within two minutes. They confirmed it was fraudulent, cancelled my card, and issued a temporary credit within 24 hours.

The permanent credit came through after a 60-day investigation. Chase is generally excellent for fraud protection. They have a zero liability policy for unauthorized charges. I have had two fraud incidents with Chase and both were resolved quickly.

If you are dealing with a similar situation with Charge, do not accept the first rejection. Most companies have internal policies that allow exceptions for legitimate cases. The key is knowing how to ask. A professional, evidence-backed appeal letter can make the difference between an auto-rejection and a full refund.

I recommend using a service like LaimRefund to research the specific refund policies and consumer laws that apply to your case. The AI analyzes your situation against thousands of real cases and generates a professionally worded appeal letter. It is free to check your odds, and you only pay $3.99 if you want to unlock the full letter. I have helped dozens of friends get their money back using this approach.

Remember: the first “no” is almost never final. Companies train their first-line support to deflect refund requests. You need to escalate politely, reference specific policy clauses, and provide evidence. That is the formula that works across every platform I have tried.
