XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX : Thank you for your patience while we looked into your concerns. Weve completed our research and are ready to share our findings. 


On XX/XX/XXXX, upon you request we opened claim # XXXX disputing two transactions totaling {$1400.00} to XXXX XXXX. During our investigation of the claim, we determined that the merchant obtained a valid authorization for the full transaction amount in visa for these transactions. The agreement to pull money from the customers account is between the merchant and the consumer. Wells Fargo does not have an agreement with the merchant and we are unable to determine an error. Based on the information currently available, we have established the customer authorized the transaction and no error occurred. 



On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX returns cleared for {$700.00} each from XXXX XXXX. The refunds were sent to the Custom Management checking account ending in XXXX, because this account closed XX/XX/XXXX, the refunds returned to the merchant on XX/XX/XXXX. Chargebacks can take a considerable amount of time to go from Wells Fargo to XXXX, to the merchant bank to the merchant. It can take 45-60 days for the transaction to be completed. To help trace the chargeback to XXXX XXXX we have provided you with the XXXX XXXX XXXXWhile we realize the information provided mXXXX not alleviate your frustrations, we hope this letter helps to clarify our actions about this matter. We strive to provide exceptional service and were sorry we didnt meet that expectation in this instance.
