In December 2022, I used my Virgin Money credit card to pay £500 towards an £18,500 order for a large quantity of insulated concrete blocks. These were to be used in the self-build construction of my house. The rest of the money was paid by bank transfer.
Six months later, and before the blocks had been delivered, I was informed that the supplying company, Insul Hub, had ceased trading and was going into liquidation. I was told the company was “unable to meet existing obligations” to its customers.
