Sometimes a digital payment doesn't go the way you planned. Maybe you sent money to the wrong person, a merchant charged you twice, or a payment went through when you thought you'd canceled it. Understanding how to reverse or dispute these transactions—and what options are actually available to you—can help you recover money or prevent the same problem from happening again. Different payment methods have different rules about what can be undone and how quickly.
The articles here explain how to stop a payment before it clears, what to do if you've already sent money by mistake, how to dispute a charge you didn't authorize, and what happens when you ask your bank or payment service to reverse a transaction. You'll learn the difference between canceling, reversing, and disputing so you know which action fits your situation.
