Unknown Charge on CMU Business Credit Card Statement
There have been instances when CMU Business Credit Cardholders have a charge on their credit card that they are not familiar with. Below is a list of steps you should take if this happens to you.
- If you allow others in your department to use your CMU Business Credit Card, check with them to see if they made any purchases during the month.
- Contact the vendor for details surrounding the charge.
- If you are unable to get information from the vendor regarding the charge or you are sure you did not make the purchase, you will need to dispute the transaction. The Dispute Form is located on the Controllers website under Forms. http://www.controller.cmich.edu/downloads/forms.htm. After faxing the form to JPMorgan Chase, they will temporarily reverse the charge and research the transaction to determine if it is legitimate.
