Yeah I only booked the other one 'cos it was so cheap! Who knows, they still might be obliged to provide the holiday at that price since according to trading standards a contract is already in place.

A mate and 2 of my partner's work colleagues have booked too (separately) and they've not heard anything. Funny that really since my initial phone call from Balkrap was hours ago! Sad

I had a problem with Thompson after I had booked my holiday with them but it was sorted and Thompson gave me a free lift pass worth £51. After all it was their mistake!

It helps knowing your consumer rights.

Good Luck Jonty, hope you win!

re: Balkan bullsh*t

How much did you pay for the holiday or should that be little?

re: Balkan bullsh*t

I paid 120 quid all in. The hotel and flights should have been £299 but they were on the site for £29 - LOL..........

It's their fault for hiring a zoo monkey to input some numbers.

re: Balkan bullsh*t

fraser and sarah are correct.
Marked prices, inlcuding web prices are "offer to treat", ie an ivititation to buy, seller is not obliged to sell. There are hundreds f these misatkes on the web every day, few people get them at the wrong price, the vendor is perfectly entitled to refuse the booking. Mistakes do happen, you have to look at it reasonably.

HOWEVER - if they have taken your money that is contract, and they are legally obliged to supply the goods at the price. If they do not ...

HOWEVER - if they have taken your money that is contract, and they are legally obliged to supply the goods at the price. If they do not you can sue for "loss of bargain", ie what it would cost you to get the good&services elsewhere. Again though, it was an honest mistake and I hope you don't get too disappointed at not getting a huge bargain. On the other hand I hope you do get it!

I think that what you are doing is an absolute disgrace! Typical British mentality. Instead of being honest and pointing out a genuine mistake you try to exploit it.

Balkan is a Bulgarian Company! Have you been to Bulgaria Beofre?? Have you seen how strict the borders are??

Good Luck when you are Entering / Leaving the country.

Tour Operators are better off without people like you!
