Paying for a kitchen safely?

higgey

Hi,

I am about to purchase a kitchen but I am concerned about the possibility of making a purchase and then the supplier getting into financial difficulty. It could happen to any of them. I don't want to get caught out.

I'll be using one of the household names.

How do I pay for the kitchen and be covered in case they go under whilst I am awaiting delivery?

I'd be grateful to know.

John.

I believe that as long as you pay the first £100 on credit card it protects you for the whole purchase whatever the value and you can pay the rest however you wish.

Hopefully someone will come along and confirm this.

Many thanks.

I'd be grateful if I could receive confirmation.

Section 75 of the consumer credit act can be found here.

It doesn't say that you have to have spent more than £100 on the credit card, just that the value of the goods must be between £100 and £30000.
