Claiming money back on convention tickets
JESSLT
Posts: 8 Forumite
Hi all :-)
Just looking for a bit of advice, I purchased a ticket (£120) for a convention that I was looking to attending next year. I purchased the ticket via bank transfer as this was the only payment method that the company would accept. I found out today that the company (wcm events/Rogue events) has ceased trading and has entered into an insolvency procedure. So I was wondering if there is anything I can be doing to get my £120 back or is it lost??
Thanks in advance for any help!!

you need to find out who the administrator is and log a claim as an unsecure creditor, but you will way down the list as HMRC, banks etc get paid first and if anything is left them you may get some money back0

A company can show as being active but can still have ceased trading and as it was only last Monday that they announced they had ceased, it might take a while for companies house to get updated and for an administrator to be arranged.

Being active means they still have liabilities and owes the OP a full refund0 -
I doubt very much if the accountant would be willing to give out any information about one of their clients to a third party as in all likelihood they would be bound by the Data protection act.
I fully agree that the company owe a full refund but if they don't actually have any assets and as it's is a limited company, getting that refund will be next to impossible.0
