Comments on: Xcape With Us Goes Bust! http://www.tenerife-tattle.com/2009/04/xcape-with-us-goes-bust/ Hanging Out in Tenerife - Tenerife through the eyes of a Scottish expat, mother of two... Thu, 03 Mar 2011 07:45:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Benhttp://www.tenerife-tattle.com/2009/04/xcape-with-us-goes-bust/comment-page-1/#comment-451 Ben Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:54:08 +0000 http://www.tenerife-tattle.com/?p=568#comment-451 I have received the administrators report with a covering letter stating a full list of trade creditors is attached to the report. However, there is no attachment. Anthony Batty & Co must have somehow forgotten to attach it. Anthony Batty request information for the investigation of Xcapewithus directors. When this is received they make assurances that this will be submitted to the Department for Business. I hope they don't forget to do this like they forgot to attach the trade creditor list to the administrators report. Can I use the freedom of information act to check that the Dept for Business do receive my information on Xcapewithus' pricing policy prior to their demise (my company has historical pricing data that shows that they were consistently undercutting all other travel companies and I suspect selling hotels for close to cost price to get money into the company quickly) and do carry out a full investigation of Andrew Miles and Xcapewithus?

I'm sure you can imagine how we both felt. We had received NO notification of any financial problems with Xcapewithus, even when they had the cheek to except my balance payment and confirmed my holiday as honoured on 2nd April 09! We therefore, had to pay the hotel for a weeks half board accommodation, yet again which in total was nearly double what we originally paid to Xcapewithus! Have just arrived home now and need to decide what action to take first. I feel very angry about all of this as I always use the internet for booking my holidays but now feel I have been taken for a mug!
