    Sorry to hear about your experience with Travel Up.  
     I am having problems with them too but I joined a great site on Face Book started by people who have all had problems with TU
    called “TravelUp (unofficial) Unfair Fees”.  (I hope I haven’t breached the forum rules by mentioning this)  Also, you could try the credit card company or bank
    you used to pay with and ask for a chargeback (you have 120 days from departure to lodge a claim) if you used a debit card or section 75 if a credit card (5 years to claim).  The Face Book page has some really great advice on how to provide evidence and get your money back.  Good luck.
