Dispute guide

Consumer Refund / Defective Product

When a merchant won't refund a defective product or unfulfilled service, a formal demand — often citing state consumer-protection statutes — usually resolves it faster than a chargeback dispute alone.

Common situations

  • Defective product, merchant refuses refund
  • Service paid for but never delivered
  • Deceptive advertising or bait-and-switch
  • Warranty claim wrongfully denied

How a formal demand letter helps

A written demand documents your position and creates a paper trail. It puts the other party on formal notice with a stated deadline and specific resolution. In many disputes, that alone produces a settlement — and if the matter proceeds to court, it demonstrates you attempted to resolve the issue in good faith.
