Asked in Consumer Law for Florida

Q: If a credit card Chg is being reversed back to correct the issue. Can I get sued for not paying within 24 hrs?

If the transaction is complete in 2-3 days due to “process”. If they file to sue on day 2 would I have to pay their court fees and time spent even though they are aware the issue will be resolved in a few days?

A: Huh? You don't have any idea how credit cards work, do you? In a month or so, you will receive a statement. The charge that was reversed will show on that statement, along with the credit. If you fail to pay AFTER receiving the statement, eventually you might be sued, but it won't happen in just a few days.
