Cardholder Dispute — Goods or Services

Mastercard 4853 is the umbrella for most cardholder-initiated disputes about goods or services — non-receipt, defective, not as described, recurring not canceled, or credit not processed. The bank picks a sub-category internally. Your job: address whichever sub-reason they cite.

What you need to win

• ▸Whatever sub-reason they cite — proof of delivery, cancellation policy, credit issued, etc.
• ▸Original transaction receipt
• ▸Customer's communication history with you

How to actually do it

1. 01. Look at the chargeback memo for the sub-category — that tells you what to defend.
2. 02. Build the evidence packet around that specific sub-reason, not the general 4853.
3. 03. Always include the original receipt + customer comms.
