The letter asks the card provider to raise a chargeback under the card scheme's rules and to answer in writing. Many providers have a free online dispute form that does the same job; ask the trader first.

Common questions
- Is a chargeback a right given by law in Liechtenstein?
- No. It comes from the rules of the card schemes, such as Visa and Mastercard, which let your card provider ask the trader's bank for the money back when the trader did not deliver what you paid for. Providers use it as a matter of practice. A payment you never authorised is different: tell your provider at once, since the law on payment services gives you a separate right to a refund.
- How long do I have to ask for a chargeback in Liechtenstein?
- The card schemes set the time limits, and card providers may apply their own, so ask as soon as you know that something has gone wrong — usually after first giving the trader a chance to put it right. Keep the receipt, the order confirmation and every message with the trader.
- What can I do in Liechtenstein if my card provider refuses a chargeback?
- Ask for its final response in writing, with its reasons. If you think it acted unfairly, you can complain to the competent conciliation body (for a bank established in Liechtenstein, the Conciliation Board for Financial Services (Schlichtungsstelle im Finanzdienstleistungsbereich), schlichtungsstelle.li; free of charge, Art. 1 Abs. 1, Art. 4 Abs. 1 Bst. c and Art. 12 AStG) within the time its rules allow. You can still pursue the trader directly.
