Hope someone can help, Martin can you help please?
I am in a bit of a situation ... The company with whom i reserved an appartment in Spain have informed me that they would not give me the reservation deposit of £2000 back because it exceeds the cooling off period.
I was going to sign the contract (and put down 30% deposit)but a family emergency has happened and i want to pull out.I am still battling with them. I did not sign anything when i paid the reservation deposit and am taking the "compassionate" approach hoping they will give in. They have given me until next Monday to sign contract or loose deposit.
I am in serious risk of loosing that money ...... but am trying to think through logical routes.
Can you help.. . I don't know my rights.
