要約
This is a legitimate charge from Kroger.
What is the Kroger charge?
A 'KROGER' charge typically refers to a transaction at a store within the Kroger family of companies (such as Kroger, Fred Meyer, QFC, or Harris Teeter).
Standard grocery, pharmacy, fuel, or merchandise purchases will appear as 'KROGER' followed by a location number or store identifier.
Cash-Back Fees and Authorization Holds
Kroger charges a fee (usually $0.50 to $3.50) when customers request 'cash back' at the register. If you withdrew cash, you might see a separate small charge.
If you used a debit card for a pickup order, Kroger may place an 'authorization hold'. This is temporary and should disappear once the transaction settles.
- Step 1 Look for the specific store number or location suffix (e.g., 'KROGER FUEL #9711') on your statement to confirm the location.
- Step 2 If the charge is unauthorized or you suspect a duplicate error that isn't resolving, call the number on the back of your card.
Why do I see multiple pending charges for one order?
Technical issues can sometimes lead to multiple pending charges for an online order, but these usually resolve themselves as the bank clears the transactions.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
