[quote=West Ender;630823] It's the usual story, by all accounts, this firm has been in trouble for some time but they've kept on taking bookings, in other words clients' money, right up to the day before they collapsed.

Seems a fairly common thing, a company I mentioned a short while ago were taking money the day before they went out of business, even though they knew they had £320,000 of debt, the owners still have a million pound house the other side of clitheroe, a house in America, a shop premise in accrington, and the building they went out of business in, that is up for sale at £750k despite only costing 170k 5 years ago, this was an accrington based business btw, so the money has come from the people of accy and surrounding areas!

Those who have paid on their credit card will get reimbursed too......those who paid using debit cards won't be so lucky...unless it is a VISA debit card....they have a system called 'chargeback' which will allow for the cost to be paid back to the user.......any other debit card(like Maestro/Mastercard) and you are out of luck.
