What is the CSC SERVICE WORKS charge on my credit card?

What this charge usually is

A CSC SERVICE WORKS charge is typically from CSC ServiceWorks, a company that operates laundry and air/vacuum equipment at apartment communities, student housing, and similar properties. Most cardholders see this descriptor after paying for a washer or dryer cycle through CSC-enabled machines or the CSC mobile payment flow. In some locations, users add funds to a stored balance first, then spend from that balance, which can make statement activity look different from what happened in the laundry room.

This is generally a legitimate merchant descriptor tied to in-building laundry services, not a random online subscription. Charges are often small and transaction-based, but the exact amount depends on your property and equipment pricing.

Why it appeared on your statement

• You paid for a laundry cycle at a CSC-equipped machine.
• You loaded funds into a CSC wallet/card for future laundry use.
• A pending authorization posted after a prior machine/app attempt.
• A household member used your card in a shared laundry room.
• You had a delayed post date, so the transaction appeared days later.

If you use multiple payment apps, it can help to compare this entry with nearby transactions like Patreon or Cash App to avoid mixing up unrelated charges.

How to verify the charge quickly

Start by checking the transaction date, amount, and whether it matches a recent wash/dry day at your building. Then review any CSC app receipts, wallet top-up notifications, or emails tied to your account. If you paid physically at a machine, confirm with your own notes or your building’s laundry room machine ID and approximate time.

CSC ServiceWorks support can also confirm whether a charge lines up with machine activity. Their help center includes service and refund tools, live chat options, and customer phone support. If the amount is small and timing matches your laundry use, verification is usually straightforward.

How to cancel or prevent future charges

Because this is usually pay-per-use, there may be nothing to “cancel” in the subscription sense. Instead, prevent future charges by removing your card from the CSC app wallet, turning off auto-reload if enabled, and using a different payment method for future machine cycles.

If you moved out or no longer use that laundry room, also log out and uninstall the app, and verify no family member still uses your saved card. For unresolved machine issues, submit a service request and refund request through CSC’s support pages.

How to dispute a CSC SERVICE WORKS charge

Dispute only after basic verification. First contact CSC support and request a refund review if the machine failed, double-charged, or did not start. Keep your transaction screenshot, date/time, amount, and machine ID ready. If you do not get resolution, contact your card issuer and file a dispute as an incorrect or unauthorized service charge.

When filing with your bank, explain what happened in plain terms: whether the machine did not provide service, whether you were charged more than expected, or whether you never used that location. Fast reporting improves outcomes, especially for card-network time limits.
