When should a cardholder initiate an Item Dispute?

A transaction/s should be disputed if the cardholder does not recognize the transaction/s and they have been unsuccessful when attempting to resolve the issue directly with the vendor in question.  A billing inquiry/dispute form should be completed online in ProTrav.  

To preserve dispute rights, a dispute must be received (in writing from the cardholder in the form of the billing inquiry/dispute form) within 60 days from the statement date in which the transaction/s appear.  

The following will occur once the dispute is initiated:  

  • UI’s card provider will order a sales draft copy from the merchant in question.
  • The merchant has 30 days to provide a copy of the sales draft to the card provider.
  • Once documentation has been obtained it will be sent to cardholder.  If not received a credit will automatically be applied back to the cardholder and case closed.
  • Cardholder has 14 days to respond to received documentation.  If no response is received, the case will be closed and the cardholder will assume transaction or in case where credit was already applied, the cardholder will be recharged.
  • Depending on the dispute reason identified by the cardholder, a credit for the dispute may automatically be applied back to the cardholders account and a chargeback to the vendor.
  • The vendor has 45 days from the date of chargeback to submit a rebuttal.

What’s the difference between a disputed transaction and fraud?

A dispute is initiated in place of a fraud report if the cardholder recognizes the vendor and may have done business with them in the past, but does not recall this specific transaction.

In the event of a fraud report, the cardholder does not recognize the vendor, and most likely has ot done business with that vendor in the past.  

If potential fraud is detected the cardholder should immediately report the transaction/s in question to the following;

  • US Banks Fraud Division at 1-800-523-9078
  • UI Purchasing Department 335-0385 or 335-0389
