So well aware made serious error here {text removed by MSE Forum Team}
Had a phone call re washer warranty up for renewal quoted £199 for 5 yrs . Must admit did seem uneasy should have gone with my gut instinct but paid with my card .
On receiving paperwork decided to use my 14 day cooling off period and sent by signed for delivery back to address ., having been told via phone call would receive full refund within 10 days .
Well no surprises no cheque and phoneline I had kept dead .
Guessing that’s me lost £199 !!!128542; so just wanted to put it out there to warn others .
Have full address. Of company and phone number turns out it’s just an office you can hire . ,
Lesson Learnt .

    If it was a credit or debit card get onto your credit card provider/bank, they should be able to help get your money back.

    With a debit card you can initiate a chargeback - a voluntary scheme offered by Visa (and Mastercard?). The other party can challenge a chargeback, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

    A credit card would give the option of a Section 75 claim which has a legal basis, which makes the credit provider jointly liable with the supplier for the fulfilment of the contract.

    And how did Miss J have your/your wife's card number? We certainly don't have the full story from you.
