Credit Cards Now Offer Protection Abroad

This is Good news for the consumer, you will be covered for losses when buying goods abroad from now on. This will be for goods worth between £100-£30,0000 where 'someone goes out of business, for example, or goods are not as described'. A credit card remains the best way of purchasing goods on the Internet, and now even more so if you purchase from overseas vendors.

"PEOPLE who use their credit cards abroad and find they have bought faulty goods or services are entitled to the same 'money back' protection as in Britain, the Court of Appeal has ruled."
