# Disputing Expensify Card Transactions
While using your Expensify Visa® Commercial Card, you might encounter transaction errors, such as:
- Unauthorized transaction activity
- Incorrect transaction amounts.
- Duplicate charges for a single transaction.
- Missing a promised merchant refund.
- Missing merchant refunds.

You’ll find all the relevant information on handling these below.
When that happens, you may need to file a dispute for one or more transactions.

# How to Navigate the Dispute Process
## Disputing a Transaction

If you spot an Expensify Card transaction error, please contact us immediately at [concierge@expensify.com](mailto:concierge@expensify.com). After that, we'll ask a few questions to better understand the situation. If the transaction has already settled in your account (no longer pending), we can file a dispute with our card processor on your behalf.

If you suspect fraud on your Expensify Card, don't hesitate to cancel it by heading to Settings > Account > Credit Card Import > Request A New Card. Better safe than sorry!

Lastly, if you haven’t enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) yet, please do so ASAP to add an additional layer of security to your account.

## Types of Disputes
The most common types of disputes are:
- Unauthorized or fraudulent disputes
- Service disputes

There are two main dispute types:
### Unauthorized or fraudulent disputes
- Charges made after your card was lost or stolen.
- Unauthorized charges while your card is in your possession (indicating compromised information).
- Continued charges for a canceled recurring subscription.

1. Unauthorized charges/fraud disputes, which include:
- Charges made with your card after it was lost or stolen.
- Unauthorized charges while your card is still in your possession (indicating compromised card information).
- Continued charges for a canceled recurring subscription.
**If there are transactions made with your Expensify Card you don't recognize, you'll want to do the following right away:**
1. Cancel your card by going to _**Settings > Account > Credit Card Import > Request A New Card**_.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for added security under _**Settings > Account > Account Details > Two Factor Authentication**_.

2. Service disputes, which include:
- Received damaged or defective merchandise.
- Charged for merchandise but never received it.
- Double-charged for a purchase made with another method (e.g., cash).
- Made a return but didn't receive a timely refund.
- Multiple charges for a single transaction.
- Charges settled for an incorrect amount.
### Service Disputes
- Received damaged or defective merchandise.
- Charged for merchandise that was never received.
- Double-charged for a purchase made with another method (e.g., cash).
- Made a return but didn't receive a refund.
- Multiple charges for a single transaction.
- Charges settled for an incorrect amount.

You don't need to categorize your dispute; we'll handle that. However, this may help you assess if a situation warrants a dispute. In most cases, the initial step for resolving a dispute should be contacting the merchant, as they can often address the issue promptly.
For service disputes, contacting the merchant is often the quickest way to resolve the dispute.

## Simplifying the Dispute Process

To ensure the dispute process goes smoothly, please:
- Provide detailed information about the disputed charge, including why you're disputing it, what occurred, and any steps you've taken to address the issue.
- If you recognize the merchant but not the charge, and you've transacted with them before, contact the merchant directly, as it may be a non-fraudulent error.
- Include supporting documentation like receipts or cancellation confirmations when submitting your dispute to enhance the likelihood of a favorable resolution (not required but highly recommended).
