Will Travel Companies Refund Passengers?
24th July 2020
Will Travel Companies Refund Passengers – The travel industry has been hit harder than most by the coronavirus pandemic, flights, cruises, hotel bookings and holidays were cancelled en masse from March onwards.
As a result, thousands of would-be passengers have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket as airlines and tour companies scramble to refund cancelled trips.
It is only right that passengers are refunded for flights that didn’t happen, and soon, as many people are struggling financially through no fault of their own as the pandemic continues.
Unfortunately, many airlines are failing their customers by sending inadequate messages, breaking promises on when to expect refunds, and in some cases trying to defer bookings instead of giving refunds for money already paid.
This has caused a social media storm, with #RefundPassengers trending for weeks.

High Court Enforcement as seen on TV
If you have a CCJ amounting to £600 or more against a debtor, including major airlines and holiday companies, DCBL’s High Court Enforcement Agents can quickly and efficiently collect payment on your behalf.
After transferring your CCJ to a High Court writ at a cost of a £71 court fee (which is added to your debtor’s liability), our High Court Enforcement Agents can enforce the High Court Writ on your behalf. If necessary, they are authorised to take an inventory of assets to the value of the Judgment debt, including fees and other costs incurred, and remove these for auction to raise the funds needed.
We find that most debtors prefer to make the payment in full, including court costs and fees before we have to do this.
