You can dispute an unjustified BudgetAir processing fee from your refund in several ways:
• Read Policy: Start by reviewing BudgetAir's cancellation and refund policy. Find out about processing fees, justification, and exceptions. Understand their policy to determine if the fee is legitimate.
• Reach Customer Service: Use BudgetAir's website chat or other channels to contact customer service. Inform them of your situation and request the processing fee deduction. Support your dispute with relevant evidence.
• If your cancellation was due to an airline flight cancellation or a medical emergency, you may have stronger grounds to dispute the fee. Explain these circumstances to BudgetAir and why the fee should be waived.
• Consider Chargeback: If BudgetAir negotiation fails and the fee is unfair, you may file a credit card chargeback. Provide your credit card company with policy screenshots and BudgetAir correspondence to strengthen your case.
If you've got more insights to add, don't hesitate to let us know.
