The merchant can push the fee they pay to run credit cards onto the consumer. This is especially so for smaller businesses who may not get as many credit purchases, but still want to offer it to their customers. The chargeback fee sometiems is too expensive to pay, and rather than declining all credit purchases, they push the fee onto customers. This is done commonly at some gas stations, too.

Can a company legally assess a chargeback fee against a consumer?

If you're talking about a credit card charge you disputed with the credit card company and the credit card company determined the dispute in your favor generally no. The other question you have to ask yourself however is if you received a good or service in exchange for what you charged to your card? Just because the credit card company determined the dispute in your favor and charged back the company, they don't lose the right to sue you or send you to a collection agency for a good or service you received. If the company sues you in court, they may be awarded the chargeback fee in addition to the amount owed in order to cover all damages that you caused them.
