How to Get a TD Bank Debit Card Dispute Settled Quickly

Located primarily in South Carolina, TD Bank is a community financial institution with online banking and other financial services. If you have a debit card through this bank, you work hard to protect your information, but sometimes, the thieves are more effective at hijacking it. When you have a transaction on your account that isn't yours, it can disrupt your finances and leave you struggling to meet basic bills until the dispute settles, and the bank credits the funds back to your account. DoNotPay can help you dispute a charge on your TD Bank debit card and get your money back quickly.

Disputing Transactions: Chargebacks vs Refunds

People are often confused about the difference between chargeback and refunds. Both are pathways for consumers to dispute unauthorized transactions. Here's a breakdown of the key differences:

Refunds	Refunds are processed and funded directly by merchants. This may require consumers to provide documentation and/or contact difficult customer support teams. Seeking a refund can be a slow option and it can take several business days for monies to be deposited.
Chargebacks	Chargebacks are processed by the bank or card issuer directly and serve to protect consumers from fraudulent charges. Every financial institution has its own system and timeline for processing chargebacks, but all chargeback policies protect consumer cash.

How To Dispute a TD Bank Debit Card Transaction on Your Own

You can dispute a charge on your TD Bank debit card by yourself. According to TD Bank, any dispute needs to start by locking your card through the app or with a phone call to their customer service. You also need to carefully review all recent transactions on your debit card. When you're ready to dispute the transaction, you can do it one of two ways:

By Phone

You can call TD Bank customer service at (888)-751-9000. One of the customer service representatives takes all of your information. You 'll need to start by providing your account number and verifying your identity. The customer service takes all the pertinent information about the fraudulent charge, including, the date, amount, and vendor. The bank investigates the charges and puts the funds back into your account if they deem the transaction an error or fraudulent.

In-Person

Your other option is to go to your local branch of TD Bank and speak to a representative there. Be sure to take your identification card. The bank 's account manager will take all the information about the disputed transaction.
