  • Deadline

    The consumer must give notice of an error no later than 60 days after the institution sent the periodic statement on which the error first appears. The notice must let the institution identify the consumer's name and account and say why the consumer believes there is an error. If notice is oral, the institution may require written confirmation within 10 business days.

  • Deadline

    The institution must investigate and decide within 10 business days, report results within 3 business days after it completes the investigation, and correct an error within 1 business day after it finds one. It may take up to 45 days only if it provisionally credits the disputed amount within 10 business days. It need not provisionally credit if it asked for written confirmation of an oral notice and did not receive it within 10 business days.

  • Deadline

    Longer periods apply in some cases: 20 business days instead of 10 for transfers within 30 days after the first deposit to a new account, and 90 days instead of 45 for point-of-sale debit card transactions, transfers not initiated within a state, and new-account transfers.

  • Process

    If the institution finds no error, it must give a written explanation and tell the consumer of the right to request the documents it relied on. If it debits a provisional credit, it must notify the consumer of the date and amount and honor checks and preauthorized transfers for five business days after the notice.

• Fair Credit Billing Act billing-error and purchase-dispute rights (Regulation Z)
  12 CFR 1026.13; 12 CFR 1026.12(c) (Regulation Z)

  For credit card and other open-end credit accounts, a written billing-error notice that the creditor receives within 60 days after it sent the first statement with the error starts a dispute process. The creditor must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within 2 complete billing cycles (no later than 90 days). Until then, the consumer need not pay the disputed amount and the creditor may not collect it or report it as delinquent. A separate rule lets a cardholder assert claims and defenses about a card purchase against the card issuer.

  • Policy

    A billing error includes a charge for credit not made to the consumer or an authorized user; a charge for property or services not accepted by the consumer or not delivered as agreed; a failure to credit a payment or other credit properly; a computational error by the creditor; a charge for which the consumer asks for clarification, including documentary evidence; and failure to send a statement to the last address the creditor received in writing at least 20 days before the end of the billing cycle.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Deadline

    The billing error notice must be written and must be received by the creditor at the address it discloses for billing errors "no later than 60 days after the creditor transmitted the first periodic statement that reflects the alleged billing error". The rule defines the notice as a written notice, so a phone call alone does not start these rights.

  • Process

    The notice must let the creditor identify the consumer's name and account number and, to the extent possible, state the consumer's belief and reasons that a billing error exists, and the type, date and amount of the error.

  • Deadline

    The creditor must send written acknowledgment within 30 days of receiving the notice (unless it resolves the dispute within those 30 days), and must resolve the dispute "within 2 complete billing cycles (but in no event later than 90 days)" after receiving the notice.

  • Policy

    Until the dispute is resolved, the consumer need not pay, and the creditor may not try to collect, the disputed amount and related finance or other charges. The creditor may not report the disputed amount as delinquent or threaten an adverse credit report because it is unpaid.

  • Policy

    If the consumer pays the card by automatic deduction from a deposit account at the card issuer, the issuer may not deduct the disputed amount if the billing error notice arrives up to 3 business days before the scheduled payment date.

  • Policy

    A creditor may not accelerate the debt or restrict or close the account solely because the consumer exercised billing-error rights in good faith.

    Source: consumerfinance.gov, verified 2026-10-12

  • Process

    If there was an error, the creditor must correct it, credit the disputed amount and related charges, and send a correction notice. If it finds no error, it must send a written explanation and, on request, copies of documentary evidence of the debt.
