Dispute Letter Skill

Disputes are won on a clear paper trail: state precisely what's wrong, attach the evidence, and request a specific correction in writing. This skill writes that letter so it's easy for the other side to verify and fix — and so you have a dated record if it escalates.

Note: this is a drafting aid, not legal or financial advice. Deadlines and rights vary by jurisdiction and provider (e.g. billing-error and credit-reporting rules); confirm the process and time limits with the provider or a qualified advisor, and keep copies of everything.

Working from a brief

Given "dispute a $90 charge I didn't authorise", write the full letter anyway — structure the dispute and bracket the specifics (account/reference numbers, dates, amounts) to fill in. Note where supporting evidence should be attached. Never withhold the letter for missing detail.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else bracket to fill in):

• What you're disputing — the charge/bill/record, the amount, date, and account/reference number.
• Why it's wrong — not authorised, billed in error, wrong amount, service not received, already paid, inaccurate record.
• The evidence — receipts, statements, prior correspondence, confirmations you can attach.
• The correction wanted — reverse the charge, correct the record, refund, written confirmation.
• Recipient — the bank/merchant/bureau and any required dispute address/process.
