Clients will be aware that when a customer purchases an item on a credit card (between £100 and £30,000) the finance company has equal liability as the retailer in cases of misrepresentation, satisfactory quality etc.

In a recent ruling this protection for the customer, eg if the retailer goes out of business, is extended to when the purchase is outside the UK.
