    I only did a payment of £300 online transfer from my ultimate reward account (the card says visa debit) to the tradesman's bank account.

    Will this still be a problem?

    So you didn't actually use your VISA debit card ? you just transferred money via the transfer facility in your bank account ?

    In that case, you won't be able to ask for a chargeback, as these are for payments made using a debit card...

    oh no! I did it as a money transfer via halifax online.

    Is there no other way to get the money back?

    You can pay either by a card or by a bank transfer, not both at the same time.
    Chargeback is available for card payments only.

    Now court actions is the only way to go: Small Claims Court
