Seems a bit strange as I thought that was why people booked with an ABTA bonded company.Surely they vet the companies that join them to make sure theyre viable & not fly-by- nights or they wouldnt accept them.
Hope they make this clear to all the unsuspecting holidaymakers before they book ,as this is one of the reasons that holidaymakers book with a travel agent usually paying over the odds.
On the bright side it might have a knock on effect for us who rent privately.
On a slightly different track,there was also an article that some cc companies are not refunding people that didnt get the service they should have done. If they didnt book directly with a company but used Pay-Pal to make the cc payment as the contract wouldnt be direct .
Seems like in both cases people trying to wriggle out of paying Joe Public
