Hi,
We have a customer who has disputed the purchase of a $2,600.00 scooter purchased over the Internet consisting of 4 transactions. Something broke on it and the customer is attempting to get their money back within the Warranty period.
They went through the pre-arbitration stage, 30 days, and it appears that of the 4 entries, 3 @ $700, 1 @ $500, two of the $700 were denied and the company agreed to pay the third $700. We are still awaiting the decision on the fourth $500 entry.
We are preparing to inform our customer of the cost of arbitration; however, upon calling Shazam they informed us to review Reg E and that the FI might be liable for the arbitration cost of $250 Filing Fee, a $250 Review Fee, and a potential $100 Technical fee and this is per entry! Why would the FI be responsible for this?
We are still holding the original representment in our dispute G/L but intended to charge the customer if they were not refunded their money.
HELP!
