UK law making credit card companies jointly liable for purchases between £100-£30,000.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
📖 What It Means
Section 75 of the UK Consumer Credit Act 1974 makes your credit card provider jointly liable with the retailer for purchases between £100 and £30,000. This means if a company refuses a refund, you can claim directly from your credit card company. It's one of the strongest consumer protections in the world.
✅ Key Points
- 1Covers purchases between £100 and £30,000 paid by credit card
- 2Credit card company is jointly liable with the merchant
- 3No time limit for claims (unlike chargebacks)
- 4Applies even if you only paid a deposit by credit card
- 5Does not apply to debit cards — use chargeback instead
💡 How to Use This
For UK purchases over £100 on a credit card, Section 75 is more powerful than a chargeback. There's no time limit, and the credit card company must investigate your claim.
