How to file a dispute

To initiate the dispute process, simply click here.

What type of transactions can I dispute?

You can dispute most types of transactions. But, some types of transactions cannot be disputed, especially ones linked to certain Atlas features. These include:

    • Bill payments you make with Atlas

    • Payments made to Atlas

    • Your monthly or annual membership fee

Additionally, we cannot file a dispute after 90 days from when the transaction was made.

When I file a dispute, what information should I include?

Documentation helps us investigate disputes. If you can, please include the following:

  • Receipts or invoices

  • Information about delivery and shipping

  • Confirmation email(s)

  • Tracking number(s)

  • Any conversations you've had with the merchant about the order(s)

  • Photos of the defective or damaged merchandise

  • Description of the item on the merchant's website, with a link to the page

  • Evidence that the price you paid differs from the listed price

  • Requests to cancel or stop the transaction in writing

What happens after you file a dispute?

  • It might take 45 to 90 days for us to investigate.

  • If we can’t finish in 10 business days (or 20 for new accounts), we might give you a temporary credit.

  • When we’re done, we’ll send you an email with our final decision.

Can You Fix a Charge Faster?
Yes! Try contacting the merchant directly.

  • Look up the merchant's name online with the words "dispute charge" to find help.

  • If they cancel or reverse the charge, it might take 5 to 7 business days to update your account.

If you have questions, we’re here to help!
