Goods bought by Credit Card never arrived - Can I have a refund?

Hi
I ordered some shoes, from what appeared to be a scam-clarks website.
I've tried numerous times to get a refund from them direct, but despite this, I've no shoes, & no refund.
  • Can I get a refund of my £40 from my credit card provider (Virgin) ? and if so what am I asking for? (a section 75?) or a chargeback? or what?
I warned Virgin immediately I suspected foul play & they sent me a new card, so they are already aware of this, but they haven't removed the amount from my bill.
thanks

  • You should ask for a chargeback for goods not received 
    uou can't use section 75 anyway as that needs to be a minimum of £100

    To make others aware, can you provide a link to the website?

    Why would they remove the amount? That would mean open season to everyone to call up and say the same..... 
    While it was not the genuine Clarks store (facebook by any chance?) you did place the order and may yet still receive the goods.

    Nice simple chargeback. So long as you have not cancelled the order. Then it becomes a bit trickier.
