This is the story:
I went to a club for the first time in 3 months to meet someone. The cover was $6 and since I only $5 on me, the lady at the door told me to go to the bar and use my bank/debit Visa card to get the $6 there. I had $8 and change in my bank (had not received my paycheck yet) . The bartender wanted to keep the card , but I asked for it back and he ran the reciept and had me sign. Since it was dark and I was thinking I was signing for $6 dollars I did not ask anything and signed.
Guess what? There was $11 charged to my card and now my bank account is overdrawn $2.50 and I will have a $32 bank fee now!
Just in case , he was clever and printed up a reciept showing $11 dollar charge and I signed for it, can I still dispute this?!!

You signed for it so you are out of luck.
Remember the old addage? Always read what you sign.

In most "Clubs" where the entertainment is up-scale (Gentleman's Club), they usually have a rule of the Cover-charge "and" a one drink minimal. And since you were using a credit/debit card the bartender probably charged you the door fee and the one drink minimum when he scanned your card.
You may decline the charges or dispute them and have to go through alot more than necessary by doing so. I would just write it off to experience. You'll know better next time. One last note though, if you think the bartender's pulling a fast one and you have the proof, contact the "Bunko Squad" in your hometown.

Are you STILL wittering on about this measly $5? It's not the bar's fault that you've gone into overdraft is it? You signed for it in the beginning. Hasn't anyone told you to read what you're signing for? Move on for goodness sake!

No because you actually signed for it which is your legal admission in agreeing to pay the cost. It is not the clubs fault for you not looking at the receipt. You will end up wasting more money trying to file the civil suit than what it's worth just to lose in the end.

There was probably $5 in fees applied by the bar and your bank for the privilege of getting cash. There is probably no recourse for you, such is life.

you are able to attempt to dispute it, yet once you're quite often anxious correct to the economic enterprise fee, you are able to call them and a few banks are allowed to do away with the linked fee as a courtesy, a pair of circumstances. My economic enterprise has carried out it for me many circumstances. merely call and ask.

Don't think you can dispute it. You willingly signed it without looking at it.

you can of course try, call the bank and dispute it. They will investigate and determine if it is valid or not
