At a glance
An author voice-dictates disputes; Claude builds dossiers and fills complaint forms via the Chrome extension while the human still reviews email and makes calls—ten wins in seven months, largest a $6,813 IRS penalty removal. This workflow is listed under Claude, Money-Bills, Refunds, Disputes, Life-Admin.
Sid Saladi reports Meta Muse found a forgotten $9.54/mo charge, filed the refund case, argued when support said no, and recovered $114.14 in under five hours with zero words written by the human.

Carl Vellotti hates customer-service fights, so he ran Claude Code with Chrome: it drove his logged-in browser through AT&T support, rejected a $60 offer, got $100 (2× Claude Pro), then filled an FCC complaint form he approved.
