Credit Card Protection Question

Posts: 6 Forumite
in Credit cards
Hi all,
Were in the market to buy a sofa and are about to take the store up on their 4 years 0% offer. They wouldn't knock anything off the price regardless of how we paid so why not.
If i paid say £200 on my credit card and then took the remaining balance on 0% finance would i be protected in full by the credit card company if things went wrong?
Thanks

If the item costs over £100 and you pay for at least some of it by credit card then yes, your section 75 rights mean that the card company is equally as liable as the retailer in the event of post-purchase issues.0

Thanks for the quick reply0

The sofa is on finance so the finance company potentially also gives you S75 protection in addition to the card company0
