Recover a $478.39 refund two years after the chargeback window closed

Creator someone ordered three items from clothing brand Plus44 while in Turkey in December 2024; the package could not clear customs for a tourist without a Turkish ID and was returned. After the promised refund never came and the 120-day chargeback window expired in April 2025, later emails went unanswered. He asked the AI for help: The AI identified the UK company (Plus 44 World Limited), cited Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and sent a strongly worded letter demanding the refund within 14 days or court action. Within two hours Plus44 issued the $478.39 refund. (Caption carries his AI referral code.)

How it works

  1. Reconstruct the two-year dispute (Dec 2024 order, customs return, expired 120-day chargeback window)
  2. Identify the UK company behind Plus44
  3. Cite Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015
  4. Send a letter demanding refund within 14 days or court action
  5. Refund issued within two hours

Why it’s worth knowing

The money came back two years late, after the chargeback deadline, because the agent found the right statute and company when the human had given up.
