Rejected petition Help us get our refunds from virgin holidays
We would like help to actually receive our money we have been promised from virgin holidays.
More details
We have been told excuse after excuse to why we haven't received our refunds. The time frame is constantly changed. 1000s of us are still waiting for this and the communication from them is ridiculous. No one answers and when they do its the same response that everyone receives. I was told 7 days then 45 now 90 and we have all had enough. Something needs to be done
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Arrangements for refunding, changing or rebooking travel are a civil matter between individual travellers and airlines or travel agents, not the Government or Parliament.
The Civil Aviation Authority, which regulates the UK aviation industry, has provided guidance on passenger rights and how to make a claim: https://www.caa.co.uk/Passengers/Resolving-Travel-Problems/Delays-and-cancellations/
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Require travel companies & airlines to pay compensation if no refund in 14 days: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/317878
