Write the letter that gets a double charge refunded
The poster's in-laws were charged twice for insurance by a budget rental car company and lost several rounds of arguing on their own. He told them to give the whole conversation to Meta Muse and let it write a letter. He says they got a full refund right away. A calm letter that lists the dates, amounts and what you want back is often what gets a dispute moving. If the company still says no, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Poster's claim, not verified: He says they got a full refund. We have not verified this.
Copy this prompt
Here's my rental agreement, the final receipt and my messages with [COMPANY]: [PASTE OR ATTACH]. Find every charge that looks duplicated or that I didn't agree to. Then write a short, polite letter asking for a refund of [AMOUNT], with the dates and amounts, and a deadline of 14 days. Show me the letter before anything is sent.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Check your card statement too. If the company won't fix it, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
- Keep copies of the letter and every reply.
