Just to emphasize your point about documentation, make sure it is ON PAPER, and OFF SITE! I read a story about a guy who sent emails about a problem. Then he was called in to the office and given grief about complaining. So he went to print the email out for documentation. Surprise, surprise, the email had been deleted from his inbox and email server.

To paraphrase an old saying “your documentation is only as good as the paper it is printed on.”

(original phrase uses contract in place of documentation)

i’m trying to push pci complaince, i learned the hard way about billing disputes, i’m pushing it to try and get back 4000.00 back, if you file billing dispute ,mc will only go back 120 days(my bad charges go back 16 months, if you try to push fraud , Mc says it has a policy to fight 2 charges, mine come to 41, so im going to try PCi complaince, the co failed to protect my data, kept my card information on an index card with another co’s name adress, etc, each time thsy would charge , i got billed, theft or incompetence, even though these were all pickup oreders, much like you would do at kmart or wmart, there is no signature. Again, though who do you complain to, i called Mc and said I want to reprt PCI noncomplaince, the agent said what’s that,

This is very useful info. Hopefully, the people who need this information the most would have the forethought to look for this BEFOREHAND. As you have pointed out in your writing, “documentation” is very important, esp. in legal matters.

Sorry to hear that your case did not go your way. That’s how things sometimes end up. But at least you’ve done the right thing.
