Credit card protection

[Beans on toast Dave]

Hi.

I've a friend who's had some roofing work done and has paid by bank transfer.
Usually I would recommend to pay at least £100 via credit card but as the roofer has no card facilities this was not an option
Im just curious to see if there is anyway this could have been paid so there is credit card protection. Maybe via PayPal?

Nope, you need to pay directly with the CC to be covered under S75 protection.

Lol at doing a chargeback on a roofer. You'll have no roof at all the following day

Given the quality of work of so many in the roofing trade these days not sure there is a difference.

Aye, I confess to paying my roofer cash in hand but then again he was my next door neighbour's neighbour and he did all 4 houses in a row (his own, his direct neighbours and me). I'm fortunate enough to have 2 builders who live just a few doors away from each other so not far to intimidate with my bad breath and wonky feet if it all ends in tears!
