As for your credit card. This is a non starter. You cannot decide to go for a refund without first exploring if Dixons will fulfil their obligations under consumer law.

This is not true. For items covered by section 75, the credit card company is jointly and severally liable with the retailer. It is your choice whether you decide to deal with the retailer or the credit card company over any problems.

But if your claim against the retailer is spurious, then a claim using s75 CCA would fail on the same grounds. An outright claim for refund from the start in this case would be made on dodgy ground (as opposed to a claim for repair/replacement which the OP is perfectly entitled to)
