Error Resolution with Merchants:

1. Errors on receipts must be reported to the OneCard Office no later than sixty (60) days after the error occurred. Errors that are reported orally must be followed by a written notification within ten (10) business days.
2. Cardholder name, identification number, transaction description, transaction date and dollar amount must be provided when errors are reported.
3. The Sooner OneCard Office will investigate recorded errors. The results of the investigation will ordinarily be made available within ten (10) business days of notification; however, if needed, the University may take up to forty-five (45) days to conduct the investigation.

Shortages/Negative Amounts:
It is the Cardholder's responsibility to keep track of spending in the Sooner Sense Debit Account Program. If the Cardholder attempts to use the Account when there are not enough funds in the Sooner Sense Debit Account, the transaction will not be approved. However, should the rare occasion arise when, due to a systems problem or otherwise, a purchase occurs with not enough funds in the Sooner Sense Debit Account (creating a "shortage" or "negative amount"), the "owed" funds will automatically be deducted from the next deposit. Alternatively, the Sooner OneCard Office may bill the Cardholder's Bursar Account for a negative balance that is on the system for more than five (5) days. The Sooner OneCard Office is entitled to freeze any funds remaining in a Sooner Sense Debit Account in the event a check or credit card charge submitted to us in payment is returned unpaid. Repeated cases of shortages or negative amounts will be grounds for cancellation of participation in the Sooner Sense Debit Account Program. In the event the University must retain a collection agency to collect negative amounts from the Cardholder, the Cardholder may be assessed, collection fees in addition to the negative amount. ^Top
