Joe & the Group,



I had an experience with a charge on a credit card (Discover) for which

I was not responsible which was kind of a nightmare and may shed some

light on this issue.



After my departure from a bed and breakfast place in Denison, TX the

proprietor added the cost of another day's lodging to the credit

charge.  I learned of this when I got the credit card bill.  I called

Discover to dispute the charge and was told that they would issue a

temporary credit, but if the merchant didn't agree, the charge would be

reinstated.



We'll to make a long story short the charge was reinstated, temporarily

credited a second time, reinstated a second time, and then finally

credited.  This process took 3 - 4 months, numerous phone calls and

produced a lot of aggrevation.



The bottom line is that if the merchant doesn't agree with you, the

credit card company sides with the merchant.  (At least that's my

experience with Discover.)



I hope this WIZ thing doesn't turn into the disaster that it could; good

luck everybody.
