How to Get Halifax Chargeback Fast

Halifax is a financial institution that partners with retailers to give their customers an easy time while shopping. However, it's not a guarantee that all credit card purchases will go as expected, and so the bank adheres to Section 75 of The Consumer Credit Act 1974 to protect its customers.

Therefore, if you made a credit card purchase of more than £100 up to £30,000, Halifax allows you to claim the purchase amount fully. You'll need to prepare the right documentation, including the purchase invoices and any evidence you have to support your claim.

While you can quickly contact the bank and initiate the process, a little help from DoNotPay can go a long way. DoNotPay's Chargeback product will help letter specific to your case, including the chargeback code required for your credit card.

When Can I Issue a Chargeback with Halifax?

For a purchase to qualify for , it must be above £100 and up to £30,000. Also, all the payments should be made through a credit card and not through other payments like money orders, wire transfers, or digital payments. You can issue a chargeback in the following situations.

  • If there has been a breach of contract by the retailer or misrepresentation of the contract. For example, if you paid £1000 for a sound system and the retailer failed to deliver it or delivered a product that doesn't match the description, you are entitled to a chargeback.
  • The company or retailer becomes insolvent before you receive your order.

How to Get a Chargeback From Halifax on Your Own

If you have made a purchase that you feel qualifies for a chargeback under Section 75, you'll need to contact the bank right away and issue a chargeback request. First, however, you'll need to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation in place. Some of these documents that can help justify your claims include:

  • A detailed chargeback letter that explains your claim and what steps you have taken so far to try to resolve it with the company. It should also indicate the time limits (15 days or more) of your communication with the company.
  • A copy of the contract, terms, and conditions, and invoice to show the nature of the purchase and the agreements between you and the company.
  • A copy of other payments made to the company through different payment methods (other than your credit card).
  • Any other supporting documents could act as evidence in favour of your claim.
