Dispute a credit card billing error in writing within 60 days

Added

If a holiday order never arrives or you're charged the wrong amount, call your card company, then send a written notice to the billing-dispute address on your statement. Keep a copy, and keep paying the charges that aren't in dispute.

The result

Result: CFPB: send written notice no later than 60 days after the statement with the error; the card company has 30 days to acknowledge it and two more billing cycles to investigate, and you don't have to pay the disputed amount while it does.
