Responding to Pricing and Billing Complaints

· 4 min read

Billing errors—especially duplicate charges—cause immediate panic for customers. This guide shows you how to acknowledge the mistake, process refunds quickly, and restore confidence in your payment systems.

Example Customer Complaint​

Subject: Charged twice for the same order!

Hi,

I just checked my credit card statement and I've been charged TWICE
for order #77823. I was charged $124.99 on January 28th and again on
February 2nd for the exact same order.

I only authorized one payment and I only received one order. This needs
to be fixed immediately and I want the duplicate charge refunded today.

I'm very concerned about your billing system if this kind of error can
happen.

Best,
Amanda
