                             1. A method of providing information relating to a disputed payment                                             
                        transaction, said method comprising:

                             generating a second queue for working by an investigator of said                                                
                        disputed payment transaction;                                                                                        
                             disposing said case identifier in said second queue of cases;                                                   
                             forming said second queue of cases with at least two cases to be                                                
                        worked by said investigator;                                                                                         
                             regulating execution of a workload of said investigator via displaying                                          
                        only a partial listing of said second queue of cases for viewing by said                                             
                        investigator so as to prevent said investigator from selectively avoiding                                            
                        cases to work.
