A LOOK AT THE PLANNED COURSE

Six parts of a well-documented dispute

A focused sequence of lessons and practical cases. This outline previews the course; the full learning activities are being prepared.

  1. MODULE 01Planned 8 min

    Separate refund requests from card disputes

    Understand the different roles of the merchant, marketplace, and card provider when a payment is questioned.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Map the relevant parties and requested outcome for three fictional transactions.

  2. MODULE 02Planned 9 min

    Identify the transaction and the issue

    Check the amount, posting status, descriptor, receipt, and whether the issue concerns authorisation or a purchase problem.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Match sample statement entries to receipts and write a factual issue description.

  3. MODULE 03Planned 8 min

    Check your provider’s process promptly

    Find the appropriate dispute channel and ask about applicable deadlines, required records, and follow-up instructions for the payment method.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Build a provider-question checklist without assuming a universal deadline.

  4. MODULE 04Planned 9 min

    Assemble evidence that answers the question

    Connect the relevant terms, delivery information, merchant contact, and payment record to the specific disputed transaction.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Select and label the evidence for a fictional undelivered-order case.

  5. MODULE 05Planned 8 min

    Track credits, requests, and decisions

    Distinguish a submitted dispute, a request for more information, a provisional credit, and the final outcome.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Update a case tracker as new fictional messages arrive from the card provider.

  6. MODULE 06Planned 7 min

    Close the case accurately

    Reconcile the final statement with the decision, any merchant refund, and any separate cancellation still needed.

    PLANNED PRACTICE

    Resolve the capstone timeline and identify any remaining action without double-counting credits.

PLANNED CAPSTONE & ASSESSMENT

Put the method to work.

The planned capstone follows a fictional card charge for an undelivered order. The assessment will distinguish merchant refunds from payment-provider disputes and test accurate evidence selection, timely inquiry, and resolution tracking.

Planned pacing: 3 minutes to find your starting point, 49 minutes across six modules, and 8 minutes for the final assessment.
