Who this template is for

Transaction Dispute Claim Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in banking & identity.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 27 questions across 5 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 16 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 5 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 5 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the dispute” is Unauthorised transaction, the form dynamically exposes “Has the card or account been blocked?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Reason for the dispute” is Goods or services not received, “Expected delivery date” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the dispute” is Cancelled subscription still charged, the form dynamically exposes “Date the subscription was cancelled”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Have you contacted the merchant?” is Yes, “What did the merchant say?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Has this been reported to the police?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Crime reference number”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 5 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Disputes fail on missing detail far more often than on merit. This form asks for what a scheme actually needs. The claimant is identified by name, account or card reference and contact details, and the disputed transaction is captured precisely: date, amount, currency, merchant name as it appears on the statement, the last four digits of the card or account used, and the payment method. The reason is chosen from the categories schemes recognise — unauthorised, goods or services not received, not as described, duplicate charge, incorrect amount, cancelled subscription or refund not processed — and each reason opens only the follow-up questions that category requires, so a duplicate-charge claim is not made to answer questions about delivery. Contact with the merchant is recorded as a date, method and outcome, because most schemes expect that step first. Evidence uploads cover receipts, order confirmations, delivery records and correspondence. For unauthorised claims the form asks whether the card was lost or stolen, whether it has been blocked and whether the matter has been reported to police, with a crime reference where one exists. A declaration confirms the claim is honest and complete, and the whole record exports as a single dated file to send onward.

Can I match my scheme's reason codes?
