Section 75 advice

Hi, I paid over £600 to 1 Green Place in May as a contribution towards a replacement boiler. They told me that if I changed my mind, I could get this refunded. Despite numerous emails and calls after changing my mind quite quickly, I never got my money back and I found out they have gone into administration. I've claimed this amount from my credit card company and they sent me a declaration form and letter asking for other bits of evidence if I have it. I've sent this form and a few copies of emails but I'm wondering if this is likely to be a straight forward process as I've never been in this situation or made a claim before. On the credit card letter, it asked if I had made a claim from the administrators. I don't know what this means or if they are going to try and wriggle out of it by saying that I should. I simply sent back a covering letter with my form saying I held them jointly responsible (using some of Martins' letter template). I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this. Many thanks.

  • Carry on as you are responding accurately and honestly.

    They carry equal liability as the administrators and it's highly unlikely that they'll give you the runaround. But there is a risk that you could claim money from two places which they don't want to happen.

    S75 is rarely quick, but I think you'll be fine in this case.
