Effected

Does this sentence make sense:



"i asked for a chargeback of the amount in question to be effected in my account."

THANK YOU.

" Aside from the lowercase"i", it is grammatical but so unusual I have to call it wrong. A chargeback isn't normally thought of as having been effected anywhere. " Be advised that a chargeback is not strictly a refund.

'effect', meaning 'bring about', is hardly ever used as a verb, and when it is, the object is almost always 'change' (or a synonym like 'transformation').

Found online:

your power to effect change
a realistic plan for how to effect change
the real problem is the inability to effect change
to effect the necessary change in the relevant law
