Subject: Billing dispute for Order #BB-48192

Dear BrightBox Support,

I am writing to dispute a charge related to Order #BB-48192 dated April 28, 2026.

The charge concern is that the statement shows a duplicate monthly charge, but my saved receipt shows that the account was already paid for this billing period.

Please review the charge and provide a corrected statement, removal of the duplicate charge, and a written explanation of the account update or a written explanation of the charge.

Thank you,
