Section 75 (UK Credit Card Protection)

UK law making credit card companies jointly liable for purchases between £100-£30,000.

📜 Consumer Credit Act 1974, Section 75📅 Since 1974
🇬🇧 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.
