How it works

RISA conducts a site inspection and issues a structured report designed to support Section 75 refund claims.

When would it be used?

When a glazing installation has been purchased on credit and the original supplier is no longer trading or has failed to fulfil their obligations.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is based on inspection scope—quotes are available on request.

How Long Does It Take?

Reports are typically issued within 5–10 working days following inspection.

What Is Section 75?

Section 75 is a UK consumer protection law which means your credit provider has the same responsibility as the company you’ve bought something from should anything go wrong with the purchase.

That’s Nice Of Them!

Not really. It’s actually a legal requirement of your lender so that a consumer is never in a position of having to pay off debt on a product they didn’t receive or the final product wasn’t as it should have been. This applies to all purchases made with a credit card or via a loan. As an example, an extension to a house, a washing machine, a laptop or anything between £100 and £30,000. If it’s bought with credit, the lender is as responsible as the supplier.

Dispute resolution, quickly, efficiently

What Is a Section 75 Report?

Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act protects UK consumers when a purchase made on credit—typically via credit card or loan—goes wrong. If a supplier becomes insolvent or fails to deliver, the credit provider is equally liable. RISA’s Section 75 Report is a pre-formatted, expert inspection report used to support such claims, giving your credit provider the technical evidence they need.
