Section 75 protection after deposit

in Credit cards
hi, looking for bit a advice.
my dad has paid a (4 figure) deposit for new windows by cheque (he’s compos mantis but not internet savvy or that good at finance).
im relatively happy that the company is a good family firm and I know someone that works there, however I’d prefer section 75 protection.
can I make a payment now to secure section 75 protection? After he’s paid a large deposit?
does it matter how much it is?

As a total purchase price, but that doesn't impact the amount paid by card, which can be any amount.Troxy said:
