DISPUTED PURCHASES
Procedure 9-111
Issued By: Campus Purchasing Departments
Issued: 12/01/2009
Should the cardholder be unable to reach agreement with the supplier, the cardholder should complete and submit a Statement of Questioned Item form with supporting documentation to his/her account manager. This form should be submitted within 15 days of the purchase. The account manager will then forward a copy of the form to their Campus Card Administrator and the original to the bank. The bank will institute an investigation. Forms are available in from the Campus Card Administrator.
During the bank's investigation, a credit will be issued to the cardholders default account for the questioned amount. The default account is the fund-area-org or purchase order number associated to a particular Purchasing Card.
After the investigation is complete, the cardholder will be notified of the resolution. The cardholder should then notify the account manager of the results of the bank's investigation.
Should the dispute not be settled in favor of the cardholder, the cardholders default account will be charged for the disputed transaction amount.
Account manager's should document disputed transactions just like any other charge to the cardholder's account. Supporting documentation, includes copies of the Statement of Questioned Item form, any notes regarding the conversation(s) that have taken place between the supplier and the cardholder and/or account manager, and any resolution information sent from the bank.
