Hotel I've booked in uk has ceased trading

Mrssarahr

Hello - just got a letter from a hotel I've booked for a wedding next month has ceased trading and the business is in the hands of the official receiver. The letter reads as follows.

Dear sir/madam

I am writing to inform you that the hotel has ceased trading. The business is in the hands of the official receiver. A list of all creditors including yourself has been forward to the receiver and you should hear from them at some point.

I apologise for the inconvenience

I paid in full when I booked it was £85 and I used my Natwest bank visa debit.

Any of you know where I stand in getting back my money. I understand things like this happen but just my luck it's me. I can't get another hotel as everywhere is booked now as its such short notice.

Thanks

Speak to Natwest, you may well be able to get a chargeback through your Visa Debit card.
