What’s the difference between a case and a support ticket?
A case is the mechanism merchants use to send a request to UAS for processing (for example, a contract adjustment or contact-info change). A support ticket is the mechanism for tracking a consumer inquiry or dispute from request to resolution. A support ticket is created when a consumer can’t resolve an inquiry through the portal, the FAQs, or by speaking with an agent. Consumers can open one by calling UAS, emailing, or using the online portal. Support tickets are visible to consumers, merchants, and UAS, and any party can add remarks, update details, and upload attachments.When is the merchant expected to get involved in a support ticket?
For tickets that require the merchant (typically those related to products and services), the expected timeline is:- Within 5 days: engage with the consumer to review and understand the issue.
- Within 7 days: provide a proposed solution if one is commercially reasonable, or notify UAS that a solution isn’t possible.
- Within 10 days: if the merchant can’t resolve it after reasonable effort, UAS may step in to resolve the dispute with the consumer.
Important: In any instance of a refund, discount, or credit to the consumer on a purchased account or contract, the merchant pays UAS the buyback price defined in the merchant’s agreement. LINK FOR BUYBACK CALCS
How do disputes and escalations work?
When a support ticket is closed, the resolution is communicated to the consumer. If the consumer disagrees with the resolution, they can open a Dispute (not until the next day, to allow time for an initial response). UAS investigates disputes, engaging the merchant if more information is needed. Once UAS completes the investigation, the dispute resolution is final and is communicated to the consumer. UAS support staff may also trigger a Supervisor Review when a ticket needs escalation.How do I recover a contract that was voided by mistake?
Once a contract or application is voided, UGA is unable to recover it.Related articles
