A few years ago, I made the mistake of buying some furniture using my debit card instead of credit card (about £1k).
Between the payment and the delivery the company went bust.
I though I was out of the money, but after a brief search I found out that, although there is no legal requirement to do so, VISA in the UK offers (or at least used to) the same chargeback facility to debit cards as for CCs. I visited my bank branch which gave me a phone number to contact, sent in a bunch of paperwork and after about 2 weeks I got my money back. I was very pleased as you can expect.
