Discover RN2: Credit Not Processed
What the cardholder is claiming
The cardholder returned merchandise or canceled the service, expected a refund under your policy or a promise you made, and no credit ever appeared on their account.
The evidence that actually wins
Bank analysts skim responses in minutes against a checklist for this exact code. Lead with the strongest fact; never make them dig.
- ✓The refund record with its acquirer reference number, if you did issue the credit and it posted
- ✓Your return and cancellation policy as disclosed at checkout, with specifics on how this return failed to meet it
- ✓Receiving records showing the merchandise never came back to you, or came back outside the policy window
- ✓The correspondence showing exactly what you promised the cardholder, if anything
- ✓Evidence that any cancellation number the cardholder cites is invalid or unrelated to this transaction
The honest read
If you promised a refund and did not send it, issue it now and respond with proof, because fighting your own written promise loses. The winnable versions are narrow: the credit already posted and the cardholder missed it, or the return genuinely failed a policy you clearly disclosed before purchase. A policy buried in fine print will not protect you. Slow refund processing is the silent cause here; wait too long and the bank issues the refund for you and adds a chargeback fee.
Nobody can promise you a win; the cardholder's bank decides. What you control is submitting the strongest complete case your records support, on time. Our plain-language guarantees say exactly what that means.
