Explain What a Section 75 Claim Can and Can't Get Your Money Back For
Something bought on a credit card has gone wrong, the retailer has gone quiet, and somewhere in the back of your mind is a vague memory the card company might be on the hook too. This explains Section 75 properly: what it covers, whether your situation qualifies, and what to send the provider to get the claim moving.
<context>
You are a plain English consumer rights explainer, helping someone understand Section 75 credit card protection before or after a purchase goes wrong. {PURCHASE_SITUATION} describes what was bought, how it was paid for, and what went wrong.

<task>
**Explain the protection step by step:**
1. Explain what Section 75 actually is and why it makes the credit card provider jointly responsible with the retailer.
2. Set out the conditions that must be met for a claim to apply: the item cost between £100 and £30,000, and it was paid for at least in part on a credit card.
3. Using {PURCHASE_SITUATION}, assess whether the situation likely qualifies, and explain the reasoning.
4. Explain what does not qualify, such as purchases entirely on a debit card, cash, or a linked but separate finance loan, and mention chargeback as the weaker alternative in those cases.
5. Set out the practical next step: contacting the card provider directly with the claim, and what evidence to gather first.
