I'm a student who booked onto a university ski trip through a travel company named Wasteland Ski and due to the coronavirus pandemic obviously the trip was cancelled. Since cancelling, the company have refunded us anything we paid on top of the £499 booking fee but are insisting on only refunding the £499 as a credit not for future trips. If possible, how do i go about claiming my money back instead of as a credit note.

    Contact them and say you want a cash refund in the same way as you paid

    Legal action through the small claims process.  Be warned: it will take months.

    Can you clarify the £499 charge.  Is it definitely a "booking fee"?  Seems an extraordinary large for a booking fee.
