Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I just wondered whether anyoine though it possible to claim the fuel surcharge element of an overseas holiday back. I guess they will claim admin costs, but since that hasn't washed with the airlines, I'm thinking it may not wash with the tour operators.
They do state in their contract that if you cancel on the day, that the cost of the holdiay is lost 100%, but since they (and all holiday companies) break down the price and add all the additional little extras on, then the fuel surcharge shows separately and arguably isn't part of the holiday. I believe the phrase may be "hoisted by your own petard".
It's not a lot, £40 or so, but it would seem that they aren't paying it since the seat wasn't full, and that as such they are "enriching" themselves unfairly.
Thoughts anyone.
I'm prepared to give it a go, even for such a small sum. It doesn't take much time especially with all the templates available here.
Cancelled holiday - fuel surcharge refund?
