I think you should tell us who the merchant is so we can avoid doing business with them.

Tell visa - not the CC company. They don't own the merchant agreement.

+1 more info is needed, OP.


OP here.

The merchant charged me tax on a fee. It seemed fishy so I looked it up and this is illegal in that state for that type of vendor and that type of fee. I contacted the merchant to let them know and request modification of the charge and also a receipt. They wouldn't respond to emails so I contested it thru visa.


This is the kind of thing that my aunt, who is a consumer advocate, absolutely HATES. It's illegal and when he does this enough times, it's a bonanza for him. He keeps this money. A dollar from you, a dollar from everyone -- wow.

I would send him a cease and desist letter.

Did you contest the entire charge or just the tax amount?

Have you told Visa that the merchant is contacting you? I would block their number and email. All communication should be going through Visa. You can also provide everything to that state's BBB.

The merchant sent me a nasty email and has left voicemails. Should I report it to someone or just Save them in case it escalates?
