Disputing Credit Card Charges

Summary

In New Jersey, you can dispute a credit card charge by contacting your issuer and sending a written dispute within 60 days of the statement date. Refund policies must be clearly disclosed by sellers, and if no policy is provided, a refund, store credit, or exchange is generally expected within 20 days. If a company withholds your refund due to not signing a release form, you can report it to the FTC under the Consumer Review Fairness Act. For breach of contract, gather evidence and consult a lawyer. If all else fails, consider small claims court. For divorce, consider grounds, property division, child custody, and spousal support, and consult a family law attorney.
