7. Charge Backs
What is a chargeback?
When a bank forcibly reverses a credit card transaction, returning funds to the cardholder, it is known as a Chargeback. Chargebacks are usually performed when fraudulent purchases have been made on a person’s credit card. However, consumers may request a chargeback for nearly any reason; as a result, it is possible to accidentally commit “friendly fraud.” Friendly fraud is where the customer has used his card and after receiving the GoMad Credits issues a chargeback on his credit card/PayPal account.
However, in case the Credit Card owner claims that there has been an unauthorized use of his credit card, following steps will be carried out:
• Customer raises complaint with his card provider;
• Card provider contacts GoMad Inc. (via Payment Acquirer) to seek details of the transaction.
• Immediately upon first intimation, GoMad Inc. puts a freeze on the customer ID with an e-mail to the customer informing him/her of the situation.
• The provision of full support to the Card provider throughout the investigation process.
How does GoMad Inc. handle chargebacks?
When GoMad Inc. receives a chargeback notice, the account in which the service was purchased is immediately blocked, and all associated services in the account are terminated. All present and future collections are suspended, and all future collections which may be accrued from the 5 orbits above this account are also suspended. GoMad Inc. always considers chargebacks to be the result of fraud; since fraudulent purchases go hand-in-hand with malware and phishing, immediate termination of all services related to the chargeback is the best way to protect the public from harm.
How do I cancel a chargeback?
To undo a chargeback, you must contact your credit card provider and issue a chargeback reversal. Reversing the chargeback is the only way to restore a blocked account. Chargeback reversal notices are often sent by postal mail, which can result in days without access to the account or its services; when contacting your provider; please ensure they fax or email a copy of the paperwork to us and allow us to restore account access as quickly as possible. Our Customer Support will be happy to help you to resolve the issue.
Please remember, that the only way to restore a blocked account is to reverse the chargeback.
