Do I have rights if a credit card payment was applied twice but deducted from my bank account once and now the bank is now threatening to reverse the payment?

Do I have rights if a credit card payment was applied twice but deducted from my bank account once and now the bank is now threatening to reverse the payment?

My personal bank contacted me today to ask about a payment applied to my corporate charge card technically held by my firm, but under my name. It seems that 8 months ago, the credit card companyreceived 2 payments of the same amount. However, only half was deducted from my personal checking account equating to one of those payments. The bank now wishes to ‘reverse’ one of those payments applied to the card. Do I have any rights to protect in this matter?
