Stop holiday providers taking payments for holidays happening May-December 2020
I would like the Government to get holiday providers such as Love Holidays to stop taking customers money when the FCO is advising against all unessential travel for the foreseeable.
Because I am a graduate, I have now got no job opportunities lined up as companies are now no longer recruiting due to COVID-19, and I am expected to pay for a holiday in less than a month that will not be happening. I am going to end up in serious financial difficulty because they are taking 2 months+ to refund everyone, or only allowing people to have credit notes. Please understand people are scared in this uncertain time and do not want to be paying a company they no longer trust.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Arrangements for refunding, changing or rebooking travel are a civil matter between individual travellers and holiday operators, not the Government or Parliament.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Require travel companies & airlines to pay compensation if no refund in 14 days: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/317878
Create a fund to reimburse money lost due to covid-19 travel cancellations: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304912
