Awaiting refund, avoid if possible
This is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with. Our package holiday was taken over by TTA after Teletext went bust, and at first everything seemed.. ok. 1 month before travel I paid the remaining balance online and after calling a few times to let them know, I finally received a confirmation email, following by the booking confirmations for the flight, hotel and hotel transfers.
I called before departing to ask them to send me the tickets for the hotel transfers, as they had only sent me a booking reference number, to which they replied that would be all I needed at the airport.
Arriving at the airport, the transfer company told us that the booking we had was cancelled by the company in September 2021 (5 months before the total balance was paid).
Then arriving at the hotel, much to our disbelief, the same thing happened. The hotel printed an email they had received from the company in September 2021 (5 MONTHS before paying the balance, and 6 months before the holiday was due).
Needless to say we requested an immediate refund as we had to pay the hotel to stay there, as well as pay for the transfers. Initially it seemed that was sorted relatively quickly, after a 20 minute wait on hold, someone asked for our bank details and informed us we would be refunded within 4 working days.
It's now well beyond 4 working days, we can't get through to them on the phone and are currently £600 out of pocket. A letter of complaint has been sent and I am hopeful of hearing back and eventually getting my money back, if not it will be a matter for the small claims court.
