Safestyle gone bust with my £200 deposit.

I paid a £200 deposit for a French door with Safestyle and agreed to do it on finance..
They have gone bust, the surveyor didn't turn up on the agreed date.
Do I still have to go through with this finance agreement even though they
have gone bust and have not even sent the surveyor?
I have had an email from Anglian home improvements saying they are
honouring all of safestyle's customers.
I have contacted my credit card company to get my cash refunded.
I don't want to go with Anglian but am I stuck with them due to them
taking over?

My understanding of the deal that the administrators have made with Anglian is that they will honour the price of any contracts made by Safestyle for those customers who wish to proceed. You have no obligation to accept this offer as you don’t have a contract with them. They are also prioritising customers where installation has already started, so I would imagine they will have quite a backlog.This is good news for anyone whose work has commenced or who have paid a large deposit without credit card protection.1

Although there is a danger that administrators could reject the chargeback, give they have arranged a co to take over the work agreed.Life in the slow lane0
