Complaint narrative:
Credit card dispute denied despite a valid contract I filed a dispute regarding a {$400.00} charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX. According to the signed contract, if my primary doctor did not approve the XXXX, the clinic was required to refund the deposit. My doctor did not approve the procedure, and I provided documentation, including the part of the contract that clearly states I am entitled to a refund.

Desired resolution : I am requesting that the credit card issuer properly review the complete contract and documentation and issue a refund of {$400.00} to my account as required by law.
