£7,000 chargeback denied

SnowTiger

OP can plead their case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) after making a complaint to the card issuer and receiving a 'deadlock' letter or waiting eight weeks.

Probably worth a shot for £7,000.

Great shame you didn't pay it on a credit card instead.

Given the retailer contested the chargeback with services provided as described, so not breached the contract. What do you think the card co would say?

On a credit card they would have section 75 protection, meaning they could take the card issuer to a UK court.

However this won't help the OP if the contract hasn't been breached, which it looks like it hasn't.

Assuming it was clear that the payment was to a non-UK company, the laws of that country will stand, which in terms of the US is the terms and conditions in cases like this.

And S75 works on what basis?
Breach of contract of misrepresentation

As far as I am aware S75 does not apply UK law to non-UK transactions, unless I have missed something?

I think you end up with an odd blend because the "does CCA S75 apply" would be tested under English Law but the "Is there a breach of contract" would be tested under NY law (or whichever state the contract was bound under)

Where the company is based make no difference. UK or Non UK they are all treated the same. Or at least we do. Can't say other banks will.

So you apply the CRA,for example to purchases from the USA despite those laws clearly not applying?

No S75 is based on Breach of contract or Misrepresentation.

So no matter where it is in the world, these are just the same.
