I was wrongfully charged $39.99 by a "erotic website" (yes, I know) due to a dating error in their system. I complained and they apologized, offering me a discounted subscription. I obviously declined and asked for a full refund, and I got this:

"If you still decide that you do not want to take this network in
lieu of the refund that you're requesting, we will have no other recourse
but to refund your transaction. But in doing so, we are required to
inform you that a chargeback to your credit card will put your name,
address, zipcode, and credit card number into an Internet Fraud Database.
All internet credit card companies use this database. Our credit card
company will put you in this database. If you get into this database you
will NEVER BE ABLE TO USE ANY of your credit cards online again.

Please let us know.
Thank you and regards,
Regina
Support Team"


Is this claim of blocking all my future credit card use accurate?

That statement right there is simply not true!

While this database does exist... it does not stop you from using your credit cards.
What happens is the merchant submits your information to this database as a "chargeback", if you only do this once in a great while then you'll have no problems at all. However if you make a habit of doing numerous chargebacks in a short amount of time then you may be seen as a "fraud" risk if you have multiply chargebacks against your name in that database. However, it is up to the merchant to search that database "before" accepting and charging your card. They have the choice whether or not to accept your card prior to billing it based on what they find in the database. The merchant also has the ability to "remove" this information and may charge you a fee to do so. If this is a rare thing for you to do then you have nothing to worry about.
