HeadingNorth Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm afraid you heard correctly; Goldtrail collapsed into administration late this evening. If you booked via a travel agent, go and see that travel agent who should arrange a refund of your money. If you booked directly with Goldtrail, go to ABTA Consumer Services for help. The number they give probably won't be manned until tomorrow. Since Goldtrail were a member of ABTA, you should get your money back in full. This doesn't help you to re-arrange the holiday for the end of this month, and that part of your problem is not something I can help with; however I hope the information I have presented can somewhat improve your peace of mind.

HeadingNorth Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 It appears that I've got my official bodies mixed up; Goldtrial was not a member of ABTA, but of ATOL. (Which still means you will get a refund, but from a different place.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Have spoken to the company I booked with, apparently it could take upto 6 MONTHS to get a refund. They did stress this is the worst case scenario though. Time to start saving again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Get your money back (via ABTA or your bank) and then book yourself a late deal You may be quids in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
