Consumer Credit Act 1974 – Section 75

Use the following template letter to write to your credit provider informing them you are holding them jointly & severally liable for the breach.

Where goods or services have been paid for using a form of credit, i.e. a credit card or a credit agreement arranged by the trader, you may have an equal liability claim against the credit firm under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 provided the contract amount is over £100 but less than £30,000.

In addition to writing to the trader you should send the credit company a letter recorded delivery / proof of posting, outlining the problems you have experienced and giving a deadline for the same resolution as requested from the trader within a set period of time (i.e. 14 days).

You should retain copies of your letters for your records.
