Slim to none. Fair guess - less than 10%.

Surprisingly - Chase is very good doing its jobs in this case.

It is apparently to me that OP is looking for a solution, not compassion.

ECOA awards attorney fees. If you have a good case, many consumer lawyers will take it without fees (assigning the fees when winning).

Extortion is never legal. I can put it in a contract between you and me, word it anyway I'd like, have you sign it, and I still cannot enforce it. There's a reason rental car companies do not pursue people who challenge them on these frivolous charges, and do not send you to a collections agency. Because they know they are not legal charges, and could probably lead to a lot worse of a situation for them than for you.
OP is all correct on this. FWIW - many rental car companies have been operating in a questionable business practices for some times.

Thanks for agreeing with at least once.
