    Spot on. They don't like to pay out and will spin it out as long as they can. That is exactly why they refuse to consider your claim until you have exhausted all other options. 
    I just wonder what the card company will have to say about sending me a letter to confirm that it’s nothing to do with them... if I’ll have to wait for them to investigate all the transactions & contact merchants, or if they will be happy to confirm that I can’t claim from them straight off? Oh joy...
    I don't think I can hang on til Friday...

    My flights happened and hotels open but FCO and USA restrictions means I could not go.
    providers kindly offered goodwill credit , but that’s not the point, I won’t be able to arrange such a holiday again,  Insurance declined... So now with FOS ( ombudsman)  and I have moved my Nationwide account.
