We are buying replacement windows and doors for our house. The total order cost will exceed £30k. However, each item on the order will be in the region of £900 to £2500. My understanding is that we will be protected for each item individually, rather than for the order as a whole, meaning we will not violate the £30k limit…

Can chargebacks or Section 75s affect your credit rating negatively?
Just that really. If I issue either for a credit card or valid debit card, is there any scenario it can lower my credit rating? Is the worst case that you just don't get the money back? Thanks.
