     wow, opened my eyes as to how much legalised scamming is going on for the average consumer

    Legal illegal things aren't a thing.

    No need for all capitals in the thread title (same in the Hughes thread), it looks like shouting, and maybe, given that you cancelled Southall dont deserve the bad press.
  • Dare I asked why the OP used this agent rather than booking direct through Virgin Atantic?
  • "wow, opened my eyes as to how much legalised scamming is going on for the average consumer."
    There is no such thing as legal scamming.

    what bad press they have not dealt with the Voucher and also have not contacted me despite now requesting, flight alternative booking and have read all emails and promise to call back and then do not, this is not correct, as far as the Huges post is concerned I have not been shouting maybe it looks like that but its not, In any event the advice for Southall travel here is not which I have received from Which legal so I do not accept that the information I have posted is wrong Consumers need to know where they stand and some forums like trip advisor and this particular one, seems to be heavily focused on blaming the consumer, its appears they are the same people who have listed on many websites as advisors, perhaps even work for the Likes of Southall travel - illegal scamming - is on and there are laws out these, please dont use this forum for advice as some of the people are giving wrong advice, go to the CAB or which legal and get proper advice CONSUMER BE AWARE !!

    That a series of extremely bizarre beliefs in a short space. Are you ok?

    I tried to help you on the hughes thread and no one on here works for Southall thats what people always say when the advice isnt what they want to here

    the fact is you cancelled your flight before the airline did so you were not entitled to a refund only a voucher, granted Southall may not have handled it very well after that

    is there a reason you didnt book direct with Virgin...its always easier to get resolutions when booked direct
  • I now understand this matter is with Which legal i do not accept further advice on this matter from here thank you
  • Trust Pilot - 4 out of 5 stars.
    83% aggregate for excellent and great reviews - combined score.
    Looks like Southall respond to many negative review as well.

    It doesn't appear that you EVER accepted advice from here...

    As previously suggested, Mumsnet may be the place for you if you want a rant and a hug.
