Is a credit card really the safest way to pay?

from Which?

We often talk on this podcast about Section 75 - the protection offered when you buy things with a credit card. But it might not be as straightforward as you once thought. In this episode, we’re joined by Which? banking investigator Chiara Cavaglieri who shares details of her recent investigation into customers who weren’t protected by Section 75 when they initially thought they would be. Plus, our Which? lawyer Gurpreet Chhokar explains why we think the act needs to be brought up to date to include the modern ways in which we pay for goods.
