X-604Avoiding troubleReviewed 2026

Something has already gone wrong. What now?

Short answer

Stop paying immediately, put your complaint in writing to the institution, and keep every document.

A written complaint on file is worth more than a dozen phone calls, and it is the record any later step depends on.

Collect receipts, messages, the advertisement you relied on, and any names you were given.

What to check

  • Write to the institution first, and keep a copy of what you sent and when.
  • Do not make further payments while a dispute is open.
