You can claim charge back as its 120day from when you found out they went bust!! Not from when you paid them!! I'm not an expert but read loads of different comments and advise online, hope this helps alittle ?!? People are getting there money back though charge back (on Facebook lowcostholidays and low cost holiday collapse help group) and section 75. Good luck with your claim !!!!0

Hi All,
I booked my hotel through lowcostholidays and I just found out my reservations was cancelled and does not exists on the hotel's system.
I am based in Mexico City and paid a with a Credit Card my holidays in Riviera Maya.
Any advice ?0 -
Hi, I'm looking for some advice regarding the booking I made through Lowcost holidays. We're not traveling until October half term and have confirmed our flights with Ryan air. After following Martins advice and checking the booking with the hotel, they said they have never had a booking through our name. We proceeded to ask how much it would cost for a full week all inclusive to see if we could still go and just claim the rest of the money back. The hotel replied saying that they don't do all inclusive at this hotel, but we booked the holiday as all inclusive as that was what it was advertised as through Lowcost holidays. I'm just trying to find out where I stand with this as the holiday never existed in the first place, I wondered if anyone else has had the same problem?0
