Section 75

Jonas1801

I have a query with regard to a “section 75”, I had booked our Holiday checked in online, and it wasn’t till we got to drop off baggage counter, the lady asked if I had another passport as mine only has 2 months before it expired and I wouldn’t be able to travel.

I had paid most of the cost by debit card but did pay £173.63 on my  credit card the total cost of the holiday was £884.63, I have raised a Section 75, with the credit card company and they are looking for a lot of information, see below, but as it is my fault that I didn't check my Passport is it worth gathering the information ?

No, section 75 offers protection against breach of contract by the supplier but not by the customer, so there's no valid claim here!

Can't see how a S75 claim would be possible, the vendor wasn't at fault here.

As above, S75 essentially covers you where a supplier is in breach of their contract - which is not the case in this scenario.

You will need to check your travel insurance policy to see whether or not it will cover you for this event (I can't say for sure, but I suspect it may well not cover you against "acts of omission" or whatever they call it, which are essentially your fault).
