Re: Credit card company liable for Rocca Tiles?
Bill Tyson has an
article on the subject in today's Independent.
<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote>
Quote:<hr> ...a spokesman for AIB [said]:
"Our credit card centre have confirmed to me that, if a customer does not receive goods which were paid for by credit card, he/she is entitled to a refund of the relevant charge from their credit card company,"
"For example, this would come into play if the company, from which the goods were ordered, went into liquidation before the goods were delivered.
"Similarly it would apply in a case where goods were never delivered due to the supplier company being engaged in fraudulent activity."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->
As far as I know, this is the first time an Irish credit card company has acknowledged its liability in this regard.
This is very important. Rocca customers who paid by credit card will now get their money back if they didn't get the tiles. You should make any large purchase by credit card as it is, in effect, an insurance against the company going bust. And, of course, credit card insurance is of much less interest, as you are already covered!
