- It damages the score of the PayU code facing the payment networks.
- The disputed amount will be frozen until the dispute is solved.
It is important to reply to a dispute by providing evidence before the deadline stipulated by the bank. After the deadline, it is not possible to upload the corresponding evidence for a dispute and the amount may be debited from your account.

How to resolve disputes?
A dispute begins when a buyer does not know a charge made to their credit card. Once the bank is notified, the formal process begins to determine the validity of the purchase.
Tip
If you have the cardholder’s data, the best way to manage a dispute process is to contact them. If the reason for the dispute is just ignorance (the customer didn’t recall the purchase or your commerce), you can ask them to call their bank to withdraw the complaint and so the dispute process is resolved in your favor.-
When we are notified by the bank that a dispute process has been launched, you are notified about that process. To configure the e-mail or the URL to receive dispute notifications, refer to Technical configurations.

The dispute case may result in won (no chargeback), Lost (chargeback) or refunded. In the case of refunds, the trade is who makes the return to the buyer and the bank does not generate the chargeback. Refer to dispute states to know all the states of a dispute.
When the financial entity communicates the result of the dispute, the case is automatically updated in the PayU Module.
