Not just Paypal, some companies, rather than accept direct credit card do it through a third party. Not sure of the details as it hasn't affected me.

I’d just pay the lot on cc then clear it at the end of the month to avoid interest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if the company uses a third party to collect the payment you’re not covered. A bit like PayPal but not so obvious. Cunning stunts . Not sure how many companies do that in truth though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m currently ordering some items from a company in Yorkshire and their first response was cash before delivery and oh here are our bank details for the BACS transfer, no mention of other ways of paying!

I’ll give them the 48 hours and then start a CCJ I'm grouting so can't fully type but a discount ' plus vat' isn't possible - you can't add vat to a discount. You can reduce the price and vat calculated accordingly on the remaining balance. A supplier tried that one with me. Took a while to get my head around it.

I read that as the discount is £280 + the vat that would have been charged on the 280 so a discount of £280 but @pocster would actually pay £336 less? A moot point maybe given that @pocster is telling them where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get caught by that find out if the company has a "Commercial Entity Agreement". If it does that section 75 of the consumer credit act might still save you.. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/personal-banking/credit-cards/section-75-credit-card-warning-online-payments-lose-protection/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
