A Company Owes Me Money. What Do I Do?
Consumer experts say phone calls, clear records and escalation can help secure refunds when a merchant refuses to pay.
- On Reddit, users recently discussed how to request a refund without appearing rude, sharing advice in "threads" on financial topics like chargebacks and escalation tactics.
- Retailers have become less flexible with return policies to minimize fraudulent returns, Chuck Bell, programs director for advocacy at Consumer Reports, notes; consumers often fail to check policies before purchasing.
- NerdWallet credit card expert Sara Rathner suggests initiating a chargeback if direct merchant requests fail, while Claire Rosenzweig, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Metro New York, advises calling customer service for direct resolution.
- If direct requests fail, the Federal Trade Commission suggests escalating to a supervisor or contacting third parties like the Better Business Bureau; social media complaints can prompt responses if other methods exhaust.
- Purchasing from deceptive websites makes refunds nearly impossible, Rosenzweig warns, while experts advise verifying the identity of anyone offering "help" online to avoid scammers targeting refund seekers.
