The big idea
Bought something fake on Amazon? Charged twice? Item never arrived? AI can walk you through chargebacks, dispute letters, and your rights as a consumer.
Some examples
- Ask AI for the steps to dispute with your credit card
- Ask AI for a clear dispute letter template
- Ask AI when to file with the BBB or AG
- Ask AI about your rights under FCBA
Try it!
Pretend a $200 online order never arrived and the seller ghosts you. Ask AI for the exact steps to get your money back. Practice writing the dispute letter.
