Right i've just had a call from a kevin Blanchard saying that the Redcrest holiday company have ceased trading as of 4 o clock this afternoon and i'm due to go on holiday at 7am tomorrow with that very company, they are a coach firm which travel to europe. He said that they're will be no pick up tomorrow and that I've lost my holiday.
I've just been onto the redcrest web site and they're was nothing said about them going under and I also phoned them and got they're answering machine which said nothing of this closure.
WTF do I do????????????
My girl is pretty upset about this and i've no idea who to call to see if this guy is on the level

Eck just watch they do give you a refund, generally if they have went bust they wont. If it had been your credit card they would have refunded it but because its switch i would watch.
they are still showing as live on comp
