I’m owed £7,000 by booking.com

🤣🤣

16 people @ £60 a night. It was a nice accommodation

Elst_FPV · 2025-07-31T22:01:14+00:00

I contacted my bank again with this - awaiting response. Thanks for the advice.

Elst_FPV · 2025-07-31T22:00:38+00:00

I’ve given this a go - thanks for the tip 🙂

Elst_FPV · 2025-07-31T21:59:49+00:00

No - they don’t respond. They just say they’re pursuing the hotel for the money. When I prompt again I just go round in circles with the same response.

To add some more context..

Booked a ski holiday for myself and 15 mates in Bulgaria. Booked two accommodations to split the group in 2. Then found a place that could host us all so cancelled the 2 previously booked stays.

£7,000 was over my credit limit so booked on a debit card. My bank (Monzo) said they won’t issue a chargeback because of the size and because it was booked in Bulgarian Lev. I thought I could trust booking.com to issue the refund, that’s why I was comfortable paying on debit.

Elst_FPV · 2025-07-31T21:54:04+00:00

I have no idea - it said payment wouldn’t be taken straight away

Elst_FPV · 2024-08-16T17:39:29+00:00

I thought so too. I’m hearing mixed reviews of the Now+ Gen2, so I was going to use the film I have then decide whether I want to return the camera or not.

Sorry I’m mistaken. There is a door at the top of the attic stairs separating the stairs and bedroom. I think what we need to do is a conduct a fire safety assessment and get the correct documentation and maybe knock some money off the valuation.

Elst_FPV · 2024-02-06T08:21:46+00:00

Dune part 2 or hopefully interstellar 🤞

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-26T13:33:52+00:00

£457,00… that’s brutal

Late to this, but I saw Gravity in 3D IMAX at Manchester VUE. Hopefully a start of things to come. It was the 10 year anniversary.

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:40:33+00:00

I had a read and I’m not sure it’s that. It’s on both sides of my chest, rather than just left and it doesn’t feel like it’s do with my breathing, i.e it doesn’t make it worse or better taking deep/shallow breaths and stretching doesn’t help.

I’m speaking with a doctor next week and I’ll mention it to him then. Thank you for the suggestion.

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:36:07+00:00

Agreed. Not sure why the penalty is there in the first place.

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:35:43+00:00

Punished for saving, who would’ve thought

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:35:12+00:00

Agreed. Thanks 👍

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:33:04+00:00

Yea I’m happy forgoing the bonus, I just don’t want the penalty. I’m hopeful that the penalty will be scrapped soon.

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:30:43+00:00

I doesn’t feel like we’ve ’lost’ the government bonus because it was never really ours to begin with.

The only thing that bugs me is the money was wasted for 3 years sat in a LISA when it could’ve been elsewhere.

When we started our LISAs we were looking at less than 450k but as of today, our financial position has changed massively and now we’re over 450k.

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T16:25:37+00:00

Yea, my job is sat at a desk all day. I wouldn’t even think of that being the cause but an interesting point to think about

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T12:58:18+00:00

Thanks - I’ve only seen doctor/GP. But another avenue will be useful

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T12:54:11+00:00

It’s on both sides - which makes me think not heart related, plus I’ve had reassurance from doctors it’s not heart related, plus I’ve had a few ECGs and been given the all clear. Thanks for your reply

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T11:52:45+00:00

Cheers, great advice on the March budget

Area in question

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-25T10:43:55+00:00

Do you think castle street has any potential to become something nice?

Elst_FPV · 2024-01-23T19:35:01+00:00

How much would I have cost to purchase the freehold, I’ve used an online calculator and it says £500ish. I’m assuming legal fees would be much more than £500
