Anything you buy over £100 use a credit card.
The amount of protection that it gives you really is required in this day.
Look how many people lost out when land of leather went bust.
I nearly got caught out with a watch. It was a preset and it went faulty. I took it back for repair and when they had the phone they went into administration.
I had to fight to get the watch back and it was only given to me as a goodwill gesture.
Legally everything in the possession of the company is taken.
Even trading standards told me the watch would be sold off and I would be listed as a creditor. However I'd be that far down the line I'd never see a penny.
Waited a couple of months and luckily got the watch back.
If I had paid for it by credit card I could have had a refund off of them.
Now anything I buy goes on the card.
Best of luck sorting it out.
Send an email to consumer direct firstly. They are usually quick to get back to you and if you need further advice they will put the case forward to trading standards.
