Marlene charges an $80 winter coat to her credit card at a department store. After
Marlene gets the coat home, she notices that the tag says the coat's lining is 100%
wool. Marlene is allergic to wool, so she tries to return the coat. The store refuses
because Marlene has already removed the tags from the coat. Marlene requests a
chargeback on her credit card.
