Thanks.
I thought I'd be out of time for that, but you prompted me to check and it appears I have 120 days.
Or rather, there seem to be two separate things: Section 75, and chargeback (e.g. https://www.ukfinance.org.uk/our-expert ... section-75 ). The 120 days applies to the latter. Ho, hum, more complexity, more research to do
Yeah, sorry, slightly sloppy on my part but the term "chargeback" has both a generic and specific meaning. If you call your card provider and request "a chargeback" they'll understand what you (generically) want without you having to be specific as to which kind.
Section 75 applies to credit card purchases over £100 and you have six years to file. Chargeback specifically refers to all debit card purchases and credit card purchases up to £100, i.e. those not covered by s.75, and you have 120 days. But as I say, chargeback is also generically used to refer to both types of claim.
