- B.

- C.
Give them credit for all of the charges and chargeback what we can.
Correct Answer
B. Advise the customer that since they did not notify us within 60 days of the unauthorized transaction we are only responsible for the first 3 months of charges.Explanation
The correct answer is to advise the customer that since they did not notify the bank within 60 days of the unauthorized transaction, the bank is only responsible for the first 3 months of charges. This is because according to most bank policies and regulations, customers are required to report any unauthorized transactions within a certain timeframe, typically 60 days. Since the cardholder notified the bank in December 2013 about a recurring charge that started in January 2013, they did not meet the notification requirement, and therefore the bank is only responsible for the first 3 months of charges.Rate this question:

- B.

- C.
Advise the customer that since they did not notify us within 60 days of the unauthorized transaction we are only responsible for the first 3 months of charges.
Correct Answer
A. Issue provisional credit and submit chargebacks for all transactions.Explanation
The correct answer is to issue provisional credit and submit chargebacks for all transactions. This is because the cardholder contacted the bank in December 2013 to report unauthorized transactions that occurred since November 2013. By issuing provisional credit, the bank can provide temporary reimbursement to the cardholder while the investigation is ongoing. Additionally, submitting chargebacks allows the bank to dispute the transactions with the merchant and potentially recover the funds.Rate this question:

- A.
Issue provisional credit for all 4 transactions and chargeback for fraud.
- B.
Ask for cancellation information since the charge has been recurring and the others are not in dispute.
- C.
Issue credit for the only transaction in dispute.
Correct Answer
B. Ask for cancellation information since the charge has been recurring and the others are not in dispute.Explanation
The correct answer is to ask for cancellation information since the charge has been recurring and the others are not in dispute. This is because the cardholder is only disputing the last charge as fraud, while the previous charges have not been disputed. Therefore, it is important to gather cancellation information to understand why the cardholder is claiming the last charge as unauthorized, while the previous charges were authorized. This information will help in determining the appropriate action to take regarding the disputed charge.Rate this question:

- B.
No
Correct Answer
