Dispute SECUMD Transactions Quickly

Have you ever awoken to find your credit union account less than what you expected, then sought to call the State Employee Credit Union of Maryland (SECUMD) to obtain a chargeback? On purpose, banks and credit unions make it difficult to obtain chargebacks (vs refunds from vendors). Wouldn't it be much more convenient to be able to rapidly compose a disagreement letter that you know would work?

Don't waste time on the phone or at the credit union arguing the charges on your account. Instead, rely on the system to guide you through the dispute resolution procedure. Continue reading to understand how to begin a SECUMD dispute transaction letter.

How to Get a SECUMD Chargeback on Your Own

Don't think DoNotPay can save you time on the phone or in person with SECUMD? Take a moment to study the steps you may need to take if you are unfamiliar with their transaction dispute process:

• Call the SECUMD and ask to speak with the dispute department.
• The agent informs you that you cannot protest the transaction until the payment is complete.
• Call back (ideally, the agent provided you the direct number to call. If not, you'll have to wait on hold... again.)
• The agent informs you that you must fill out a form, either in person or online.

Some banks or credit unions will accept a deposit into the account prior to the conclusion of the inquiry, pending the decision, to cover the disputed amount. However, if they determine that the challenged transaction was valid, they will withdraw the funds from the account.

SECUMD Dispute Transaction Policy

In order to dispute a transaction with SECUMD, there are a few actions they require you to perform prior to filling out the dispute form. On the form it will ask these questions:

1. Did you make any attempts to contact the vendor in the case of unrecognized transactions?
2. Did you contact the vendor about the erroneous amounts? Please also provide the receipt.
3. Did you contact the seller about the double charges? Please also include a copy of your account statement and a note indicating which charge is a duplicate.
4. Did you contact the seller for transactions paid by other means? Provide proof of other payments as well.
5. Did you contact the vendor about purchases that were canceled (but still charged)? Provide confirmation of the date of cancellation, the manner of cancellation, and how the seller acknowledged the cancellation. If you cancel by phone, please provide a phone record of the call. If you cancel online, please include your email address.

Is there anything unique about their policy? They require you to contact the vendor before contacting them in the event of a disagreement. This information collecting process might take days to complete, all while you waste money and time.

How Long Will It Take to Receive a SECUMD Transaction Dispute Chargeback?

How long do they say you'll have to wait to receive your money back?

Issues You Might Encounter When Requesting a Chargeback

You can bet that if you ask for your money back, you will be met with resistance. Contacting the seller is one element that constantly gets in the way. Another aspect is the examination of the disputed transactions; if sufficient proof is not presented, the SECUMD may side with the seller.

How Can You Check the Status of Your Chargeback Request?

Checking the status of the disputed transaction can be as difficult as disputing the SECUMD transaction itself.

1. Call the SECUMD and ask to speak with the dispute department. Wait.
2. The agent logs into the account and reads the notes. Wait.
3. The agent informs you of the status of the disagreement, which is generally something along the lines of "it's still being investigated" and "you'll be receiving a deposit to cover the amount of the dispute on X day." If the inquiry establishes that the claim was a genuine transaction, the deposit may be refunded.

DoNotPay may assist at the beginning of the process by sending a letter that contains all the information required before the transaction is contested.
