Where to find Chase's dispute contact information
The safe place to look is Chase's own website. Chase's guide on disputes is on its site, and it is the source for the steps on this page.
Skip any number you find on a forum, a blog or a search result snippet. A wrong number wastes an afternoon. A fake one can cost you money. If you are unsure, hang up and start again from Chase's own site.
The routes you have for filing a Chase dispute
According to Chase's guide, issuers handle disputes over the phone, and some accept them through their websites or the mail as well. So the phone is one route, not the only one. Depending on the card issuer, you may be able to open a dispute by phone, in its app, by email or in writing.
The exact steps to dispute a charge can be different at each card issuer. So check Chase's own guide for the routes it offers right now, rather than trusting an old page that lists them.
One route has a paper trail built in. Chase's guide says for billing error disputes you can send a letter to your credit card issuer and may use certified mail for proof. If your dispute is about a billing error and you want proof of when you sent it, that route is worth a look.
What to do before you contact Chase
First, ask your own house. Before you dispute a charge you do not recognize, ask any authorized users on your account if they made it.
Then try the merchant. Chase's guide says to contact the merchant before you contact your card issuer. That sequence is not random. Chase's guide notes that a store might correct a billing mistake within days, but a bank's review can stretch on much longer.
While you do both, gather your papers. Chase's guide says to gather receipts, photos and any messages you sent the merchant about the problem. The same guide warns that copies of receipts and supporting documents might be required from you. So keep everything in one folder before you call.
What you can and cannot dispute
Timing is the first rule. Per Chase's guide, only charges that have finished posting are open to a dispute. A charge that has not posted yet is one to watch, not one to file on.
Two kinds of problems are worth naming. If a merchant promised a refund and gave none or only part of it, you may want to dispute the charge. When a subscription you ended keeps charging you anyway, hold onto the emails that show you ended it. Those saved messages are your evidence.

What happens after you file
Chase looks at what you sent and decides. Chase's guide says that if the bank agrees with your dispute, it reverses the charge. That result is the good one, and it closes with the funds returned to your account.
The second result deserves your preparation. Chase's guide says that if the dispute finds you responsible for the charge, you have to pay it. So a dispute is not a pause button on the bill. It is a review, and the review can go either way.
Your payments and rights during the investigation
Your statement keeps running while the decision is pending. According to Chase's guide, the minimum payment on your card remains due even with a charge under dispute. Pay it, or your account can be marked late.
Federal rules protect you while the review runs. Under Regulation Z, attempting to collect the amount in question is off limits for the creditor while the error resolution period is open. It spells out what counts as collection. Regulation Z says prohibited collection actions include court action, liens, and attachment proceedings.
What goes on your credit file follows separate guidelines. Regulation Z permits a creditor to note in reports that a balance or account is under dispute. It may also report bad news, but only in part. Regulation Z says a creditor may report the account as delinquent if undisputed amounts remain unpaid. So the parts of your bill you are not disputing still need paying.
Two more rules shape the process itself. Regulation Z says a creditor may not require an affidavit or signed statement under penalty of perjury as part of a reasonable investigation. Regulation Z says a creditor may not deny a claim of incorrect information unless a reasonable investigation determines the information was correct.
If the bank agrees with you, one more rule kicks in. Regulation Z says the creditor must credit the consumer's account with any finance or other charges incurred as a result of the alleged error. So interest that piled up on a bad charge comes back too.
One rule covers automatic payments. Under Regulation Z, a card issuer has to stop any disputed balance from being pulled automatically when the next scheduled payment date arrives. Anyone with automatic payments turned on should learn that rule first.
Withdrawing a billing error notice
Regulation Z says a consumer may withdraw a billing error notice orally, electronically or in writing. So if you filed a billing error claim and want to pull it back, you can.
Our page on chase bank credit card dispute walks through the whole process, from the first odd charge to the final ruling.
