FAQ
Will disputing a charge lower my bill?
Yes, when the charge is an error. A successful dispute removes or refunds the incorrect amount, which lowers the current and sometimes future bills.
Does BillGuard actually lower bills?
BillGuard finds the overcharges and prepares the evidence to dispute them; what you recover is the saving.
