Coder, precisely: Write a letter to your bank and make sure in that letter you write e.g. "cc: CC Devon & Cornwall Contabulary" -- (CC = Chief Constable) and then sit back and wait while the bank becomes an 'Imodium' customer and refunds you double-quick. Make sure you send the cc: to The CC but that probably won't make it past desk sergeant. However, this will work.

Coder, just so you understand: You have to send off two letters by recorded delivery: One to the bank, cc: Chief Constable, and one to the Chief Constable, cc: your bank. Oh yeah - it will work.

One thing I would say to anyone trying to get a charge back through their card company, if it's a bit dodgy and you think you their is a chance you might not get your money back. Report it as a fraudulent charge and you know zip all about it. Don't give the bank any details or tips, just say you know nothing.

That way your bank will just give you the money back and not bother arguing, they'll then charge the merchant for the privallege by by taking the money from them and charging the merchant £10 penalty.

But www.loovar.co.uk could say look we registered his domains for him! Who would fraudently use my card for that? Other than making it look like they were doing it themselves to generate so called business. I suppose they are in effect doing just that!!
