    but if you read this, there may be more of a link than people realise http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2009/12/19/credit-card-firm-boss-failed-to-pay-s15m-he-pledged-days-before-flyglobespan-s-collapse-86908-21908514/

    there was also someone discussing eclear on bbc radio 5 live the other day, the company was holding out on paying globespan £36 million that they owed them there has also been talks that the same company hadnt handed over money to other travel companies that have gone bump (sky europe and zoom etc)

  • It would be good to know which other companies are using E-Clear for their credit card clearing but I have no idea how to find this out.

    I would also be very interested in who else uses E-Clear for their credit card payments, its looking quite likely that who ever they are will go bump.
