Asking for proof of cancellation

Afternoon
I wonder if anyone has some good advice please!
I booked flights and Hotel through Low Cost Travel and at an earlier date I found the hotel booking was cancelled and successfully managed to claim back the cost from credit card company. I was under the impression that as I had been able to enter flight information on the BA site a month after booking that the tickets were paid for at point of booking (my fault that I didn't check right into it I know) but i found out 2 days ago that the flights were actually cancelled on the 13th August because BA had not intact received payment from LCH.
I have been onto various departments at BA to request a confirmation of cancellation of booking due to non payment by a 3rd party and am repeatedly being told they are unable to do this!
My question is how do I prove to credit card company that the flights I didn't claim for previously are indeed cancelled and I would now like to make a claim?
Any help gratefully received, thank you

    If you check the booking on checkmytrip.com does it say 'not ticketed'?

  • Thanks for that, never thought to look there. No sadly it just says "4649 - This trip cannot be found. It may have been cancelled. (4649)", not sure that is going to be enough, but on the other hand it may be!! I will be living in hope!

    Did you add any airline frequent flyer membership number to the itinerary ?

    No I didn't, not really experienced with the points thing and so not that savvy on all these little things, steep learning curve!! I assumed that as I had been able to enter the passport information that all was okay with the booking Bit naive I suppose but I trusted what I was told :(

    How did you find this out? If it was an entry on a web page then take a screen shot; if it was a telephone call then repeat the call and record it...
