Who or what is BLM?gerald2h said:Thank you for your telephone call this afternoon.
I affirm that you informed Sarah Dillon (LV=) on 23rd February that you had initiated a S.75 claim with your credit card provider. You & I briefly discussed this during our telephone conversation on 25th February, and I informed you that as far as I was aware at that time that your S.75 claim would not prejudice LV=’s recovery claim (and vice-versa). It was not until 10th December that BLM informed me otherwise.
What this email(?) seems to show is that whilst you pursued a twin-track approach at the outset, and it seemed ok to do so, it's now a problem.
Who paid out, when did they pay out, and for what?0 -
All they've said is that you making an S75 claim won't affect your insurance claim, but it certainly doesn't mean you get to keep the money from the chargeback AND the insurance payout.gerald2h said:Thank you for your telephone call this afternoon.

You need to reimburse the vendor.0 -
Which claim came through first? There is nothing wrong with a two track claim in an effort to be reimbursed but as soon as one of the two accepted your claim and paid out you should have cancelled the other claim. By continuing with the second claim after payout without informing them that your other claim was successful shows you have deliberately claimed twice.
You cannot keep both amounts.0 -
It means they won't prejudice each other so keep both claims going in case one didn't succeed.gerald2h said:Thank you for your telephone call this afternoon.

But one did succeed at which point you needed to contact the other and stop it.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Thanks for the advice, I will reimburse the vendor tomorrow.1

So your insurers are recovering their costs from the trades people and so it may be this that the trades people are asking for you to refund to them rather than a chargeback/S75... it would still be easier if confirmed with your bank how it was processedgerald2h said:Thank you for your telephone call this afternoon.
