Our client, a leading e-commerce retailer, was facing a surge in fraudulent chargebacks, where customers would dispute legitimate transactions with their banks to receive refunds while keeping the purchased goods. The increase in chargebacks not only resulted in significant financial losses but also led to strained relationships with payment processors, who threatened to impose higher fees or terminate the company’s merchant account. With their business at risk, they turned to Batikan & Associates for legal and strategic intervention.
The company faced multiple challenges, including:
