Claiming a refund

Back in June I bought a ticket for a festival using my debit card. The festival has subsequently been cancelled and the festival organizers have gone into bankruptcy.


The ticketing agency sent out emails saying that they are in the process of refunding all customers but since early August they have stopped communicating and their website has gone offline.


Have I lost my money or is there a way I can get something back? What can I do?


Thanks in advance

    Is there an address you can write to (recorded delivery and keep a copy)


    Is there a telephone number


    You may be able to get a 'chargeback' with your bank...

    Further to mckneffs post above, dont delay in contacting your bank about a chargeback. Theres a time limit of 120 days for most claims so you likely only have about a month left (depending on when in june you purchased it of course).

    Exactly. A cynic would say the other party are stringing this out to time-out any claims.
