took me 9 months to get anything back when my opperator when bust whilst I was on holiday
paid for hotel again, taxi to airport (2 hours) again and flights home again, about a grand
didnt get money back for the card fees, phone calls etc, probs £30 out of pocket in the end but I did get it all back after several letters/emails/phone calls
never again
