That person has given detailed updates on the steps taken, processes followed, the outcomes - so have others who have had experiences of the same or similar kind. | Quote:

Ah, my bad. I did not look at the linkedIn post.
I just looked at the simplified narrative, and as such, (3) cannot happen.
But now that I went through the post, I am not clear on what eventually happens if the Disputer does not revoke his complaint.
Though there is a lien on the account, the amount is still in the OPs account but he cannot spend the amount. Unless he gives consent, that amount cannot be debited from his account.
There should also be a time period for the lien expiry I guess, as lien cannot be indefinitely held.
This could have been a genuine case where the disputer actually transferred the money unintentionally ( as he would need a transaction to raise a dispute) and then he raised a dispute and parallely tried to give a shot at getting his money back.
Luckily for him, it worked and he got the money back and the interbank red-tape might have taken time to both apply the lien and clear the lien.
Normally in the scamster version, one would just get the SMS and not the actual credit in the account as the scamster would be left hanging if the other party refused to give it back.
In this version, it seems the OP got the credit and that is why the Original creditor could even dispute it. |
