Turns a disputed charge into a calm, factual reply with specific dates and a clear explanation, plus next steps and an escalation path for the customer. Use it when a customer disputes a charge and you need a non-defensive, professional response.
Write a response to a customer disputing a charge.
COMPANY: [YOUR COMPANY]
DISPUTED AMOUNT: [CHARGE AMOUNT]
CHARGE REASON: [WHY THEY WERE CHARGED — renewal, overage, upgrade, etc.]
CUSTOMER'S CLAIM: [WHAT THEY BELIEVE HAPPENED]
ACTUAL SITUATION: [WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED BASED ON YOUR RECORDS]
RESOLUTION OPTIONS: [REFUND / CREDIT / EXPLANATION / ESCALATION]
The response should:
- Start with understanding, not defensiveness
- Clearly explain what the charge is for with dates and details
- If we made an error: own it immediately, state the fix, and apologize
- If the charge is correct: explain clearly with evidence (signup date, terms agreed to, notification sent)
- Provide the resolution and next steps
- If they disagree: offer to connect with a billing specialist
Include specifics — "Your subscription renewed on [DATE] as per the annual plan you selected on [SIGNUP DATE]."
Never: "Per our records" or "As per our terms and conditions" without human context.
