    Legality doesn't come into it, it's a civil dispute. Is this a package booking? What was the departure date?
    By now I would have begun a chargeback or S75 claim, but if over 120 days you are now out of time for the former. How did you pay?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Possibly still working their way through a back log. Staff numbers have most likely been reduced. 
  • They can't give you what they don't have - and legal action would take a lot longer than 2 months.
    Backlogs at the court will be massive, it'd be a year plus before your case got before a judge.
