Short answer
Chargeback and Section 75 enquiries should identify the purchase, payment method, supplier problem, complaint history, card-provider response, evidence requested, scheme or statutory route discussed and any time-limit concern. Legal4U cannot decide refund entitlement or whether a bank should uphold a claim.

Flag Timing, Route And Evidence Gaps
Tell Legal4U when the goods or service were due, when the problem was discovered, whether debit card, credit card or finance was used and whether the Financial Ombudsman route has started. A consumer-law specialist must advise on legal route and wording.
