Service businesses get hit with more than $31 billion in chargebacks every year and “Services Not Provided” claims make up a big share of that mountain. These disputes can land months after you’ve wrapped up the job and moved on to other clients. One day you’re going about your business and boom – a claim pops up saying you never delivered anything. Maybe you’re a contractor who just finished a full kitchen remodel, a consultant who spent weeks on a complex project, or you run a subscription service that manages cancellation disputes. No matter the role, proving you actually did the work turns into an uphill battle.
Without solid documentation, you’re just standing in front of the bank hoping they believe your story over the customer’s. Merchants lose about 86% of these fights – not great odds. You lose the money and that’s only the start. Your processing fees rise and your merchant account rating takes a hit and if your chargeback ratio creeps past 1% you could lose the account altogether. Merchants who show up with strong records flip the script. They win roughly 70% of their disputes instead of losing them all.
A strong template pulls together scattered emails, invoices and project records and turns them into a solid defense that reminds you to include timestamps proving the work was done before the dispute date.
Templates also point out which evidence works best for your line of work – signed completion forms for contractors, usage logs for online services and so on. Even better, they help you stay focused on facts instead of feelings so you can salvage the customer relationship while still fighting the dispute.
This template addresses the tough part of proving work that customers can’t hold in their hands. It walks you through adding service agreements, milestone records and customer acknowledgments that basic dispute templates usually skip.
