⚖️ What Is the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)?

The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) is a federal law that protects consumers from unauthorized or incorrect charges on their credit card and revolving credit accounts. It provides legal remedies when creditors fail to resolve billing disputes properly.

🔍 Key FCBA Protections:

1. Correction of Billing Errors

The FCBA requires banks and credit card issuers to investigate disputed charges if you notify them in writing within 60 days of the statement date. Errors covered include:

  • Unauthorized transactions

  • Charges for goods not received

  • Charges for items not delivered as agreed

  • Math errors and duplicate charges

2. Refunds or Credits

If the charge is found to be improper, the creditor must remove the charge, including any related fees or interest. You’ll receive a full credit or refund for the unauthorized charge.

3. Actual Damages

You may recover money for:

  • Late fees

  • Interest charges

  • Out-of-pocket losses

  • Emotional distress

4. Statutory Damages

In cases of willful violations, you may be entitled to statutory damages, even if your actual loss was small. This is additional compensation provided by law.

5. Attorney’s Fees and Legal Costs

If Joe wins your FCBA case, the law requires the bank or credit card company to pay your attorney’s fees. That’s why you pay nothing — win or lose.

📩 Important Deadlines & Requirements

  • Written Notice: You must send a written dispute to the correct billing address provided by your card issuer — not just call customer service.

  • 60-Day Rule: The dispute must be sent within 60 days after the statement date showing the error.

  • One-Year Deadline: Legal action must generally be filed within one year of the violation.

Don’t Let the Bank Deny You What You Deserve

If your credit card was hacked or used fraudulently, and your bank or credit card company won’t refund the charges, you have rights.
