Customer authorized online purchase, received broken merchandise, and has attempted to contact company this was purchased from, but has been unsuccessful in reaching them. Customer has now asked bank to look into this. This is not an unauthorized transaction or an "error" as defined in Reg. E. The bank has no obligation to do anything in this type of situation, do we? Not required to provisional credit, investigate, etc?
And what about a situation where customer again, authorizes a purchase online, doesn't receive their merchandise, but account has been debited. Customer hasn't supplied bank with any receipt/purchase documents to support if/when the purchase was even made. Again, based on the limited information provided thus far by customer...bank has no obligation to do anything at this point, correct?
