Hope your prepared for a long wait for refunds.Ive been waiting since last September when my holiday company went bust.the CAA just keep stalling.I bought by credit card and was ATOL bonded but I am not confident of getting my money back. Good luck.

bloody hell thats come as a bit of a shock, went to tenerife 3 weeks ago which was booked through them! i got lucky there, sorry for all who has been effected! It was on watchdog the other week about people not getting money back from 6-7 months ago even though they were atol protected, plus paid by credit card! it's a joke!
