What is section 75? Martin Lewis-approved protection every credit card holder should know about

Finances can be confusing, especially when it comes to where you stand over getting your money back in case something goes wrong. Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, has regularly advised customers to pay for big purchases on a credit card to ensure they’re covered in case something goes wrong.
