It’s one thing saying “not covered” but that doesn’t mean you can’t pursue a civil case against the airline. If you booked a taxi for a flight and the taxi crashed en route and you missed your flight. You can’t claim that via the taxis car insurance but you could still take them to court

That man is a legend. Not much else to be said.
I just rang the Halifax to check if I were covered under my packaged bank account after listening to this and I'm not. They said because the shortage can be tracked directly or indirectly to 'war' the policy doesn't cover you. Plenty of lessons learned this last while after being stuck in Sri Lanka for 2 weeks because Etihad cancelled my flights home. Urgh
It's why people accept paying more for packages like what operators such as Jet2 offer. It's often more savvy to pay a bit more and accept it. People who go on packages aren't daft or less careful with money.
A lot of the lucky people out there are forgetting their moral duty. Well said Martin
100% spot on this. Luck compounds...to the point where it can often be mistaken for hard work talent, or focus.
What an absolute mess- things have just been going from bad to worse since covid
What is the point of booking a packaged holiday ? You don't have freedom of choice.
And they've still not started pumping more oil 😅😂 unbelievable! Good luck to everyone back in UK
We get our fuel from Norway mostly so why is there a shortage?
If the airline cancelled my flights I will boycott them for life 😊
Lol thar happened to me but for the whole year 😅 they hadn't been asking for the direct debit and I hadn't noticed 😅 they were quite apologetic 😊
Good work but nowhere near enough. The state of council services currently despite the annual rises in council tax i dont understand what we are getting for our money or why we even paying it.
And then the money goes to the politicians
God bless Martin Lewis he asks the questions about the things us ppl want to know - at this point what does our government do for us? They don’t give us ANY public service information on things like this - it’s wild
Horrendous policy, they have also allowed you to pay 'by default' over 12 months which is probably the most sensible decision the government has made.
I didn't even get my bins collected this week, I'm surrounded by potholes and these scumbags have raised my council tax yet again
However, if a book a TOTAL PACKAGE one would expect these things are not his/her problem! So where can I get my money back? The consumer is right in this case!
And everyone thought loan sharks were bad!
The courts should give the same for a tenant eviction
This is the reason why I'm having my holiday in Scotland this year sod going to the airport and queuing for hours
Why do we allow the council to increase each year if we said no they would have to get their act together.
What a bunch of lies: a) the council RENTS A COURT ROOM AND RENTS JUDGES - yes it is in a an official court room but it isn't a real trial b) the judges do not judge individual cases, they just rubber stamp a bunch of documents without individual consideration - that is unlawful even if this was real trial c) no court bailiffs are ever sent, as no real court was involved and no real person would put their own name on a fraudulent document d) there is no legislation to pursue council tax non-payments
This shouldn't need to be said. If I buy a car and some concert tickets in another city, then can't use my car to get to the concert, why's anyone going to refund me the concert tickets?
It’s not a big risk. It IS going to happen.
I stopped paying coz culdnt afford to and tbh i dnt give a f, they waste the money and steal the rest. Botton of my priorities right now, so i pay a fiver a month to legally keep them from saying i refuse
I guess some things DO beat a Jet2Holiday
I'm often staggered with the number of holidays people go on. I'm in NZ, haven't been on a proper 'holiday' in years, my kids have never been on a plane. To hear discussions about this is laughable to me.
tyranny and people take it like champs... perfection of enslaving a mind and a body
How come there are still thousands of people who get away with non payment? All councils have substantial amounts owed by non payers. In some of the councils near me some of these people are councillors who then get expenses paid to them yet still owe £1,000’s you couldn’t make it up
My favorite part of being a veteran, is i can, have, and will just sleep in the damned terminal. Dont forget your towel.
Dont forget. Failing to send your the appropriate letters. Ignoring your claims. Covering up anything that they do wrong. Punch you for recording any evidence. And pay the police to ignore any of their crimes
I can honestly say, dealing with our local council when my parents passed away was literally like I can only imagine dealing with the mafia, zero compassion, plenty of threats tho 🤦🏻♂️
councils shouldn't be allowed to do this , its creaping in to loan shark terotory
Its organised crime did you sign a contract with thes private corporations No then why are you paying it all so called councils are private corporations directly involved in fraud and theft when are people going to wake and realise what you call a government is nothing more than a criminal cartel if you organised they could all be killed in a day
Martin do you remember 1990 poll tax when the great people of great britan on mass refused to pay it . United we stand 🇬🇧✔️ Divided we fall
Council Tax is far worse than what the Poll Tax was gong to be YET where are all the campaigners?
Fair play. Respect Brother, the pink letters Horrid!
Anyone else just drawn to the 'Free Star Wars Lego' section? All very good news about the council tax, but do tell about the Lego. 😂
Never seen a bloke so passionate about refunds.
I almost had this, tailend of covid, but have no fear!! Unversal Credit's sorted me out a job! and its only a mere 2.5 hour each way commute, for 5 hours work a day. Lovely, 25hr work min wage, 25hr commute each week, what a joke. And it was only a temp job funded by the government so the other employees could go on holiday after i spent a week learning how to do their jobs
This is why I live and breathe package holidays and will never do it any other way
I got overbooked on a flight, so i couldend go to my destination, i obviously asked for a refund and got it, but i also asked for a refund of my return flight, as i obviously couldend make it... they wouldend refund me as they said, it is still going right 😂
If only councils in Manchester and Salford would take 3 weeks to repair the roads what it does to take people to court that some of our council tax pays for plus the large amount of of money given to them from the government after the cancellation of high speed 2 rail WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING TO
I thought we lived in a democracy? It's dictatorship
I am currently complaining to the ombudsman. This is due to me paying exactly what I have to. Despite me doing this, they defaulted us because - "We asked you to pay £175pcm over 10 months" and instead we worked it out that we owed £144pcm over 12 months. I let them know we would pay over 12 months and not 10 and they said that was fine. Then proceeded to take us to court and threaten bailiffs. All this in a time where we are struggling to put food on the table. I think Council Tax is a joke. We pay more and get less. Every penny of government funding is spent on "improvements" no one wanted, needed or asked for. They waste our money and then ask us to pay more. The whole system needs changing
Yet the council spent tax money on gambling crypto and stocks..
Honestly. What is the point in going to work. We must be fucking mad.
How many of the immigrants pay council tax?
Councils should be made to trim their lazy staff.
Best you can do is contact the hotel directly and explain what happened and cross your fingers they will cancel and refund you. I've done this when I got robbed and hospitalised in Paris and had to miss the next stage of my holiday in Berlin. I told the hotel in Berlin what happened and luckily they sent commiserations and refunded me completely!
Martin should be Chancellor. They wont let him though because he has morals and his knowledge worries them.
I was taken to court for council tax and I asked for a breakdown of their additional court costs, something like £100... "We set it the same as other areas", which was accepted by the judge.
I always book packages, for the security they give you. In 2005, the included coach transfer failed to pick us up from the hotel at the right time. It arrived an hour late. When we got to the airport, check-in was closed, but they still made sure we got on the flight (we arrived at the airport about 10 minutes before boarding). If we had 'DIY booked', we would have had to have paid for another flight.
Holiday at home. Go to to the coast- east coast, south west or holiday inland. Britain is beautiful.
Book on credit card and you’re sorted. Book long haul flights and you’re sorted
Councils should loose their authority and ability to charge taxes, most councils are compromised as well.
The liability order for council tax was taken out of law in 2003.
People should start extorting councilers personal homes and families along with the tax recovery cowards.
Council tax is a joke. You get your bins taken and that’s it. They should give everyone an extra bin per band to still make it a rip off.
Great now it’s gonna cost a grand to go to the lakes for a weekend n you won’t be able to move (more so) whilst your there
I don't travel much but even i would have known that, saving a couple dollars here and there all good when it works until it doesn't
About time! Around 14 years ago I missed 1 month on my council tax. Not because I struggled financially (I scraped through just about paycheck to paycheck), but because I didn't get the reminder letter and I was paying per bill rather than direct debit. I ended up having to go to the bank and get a loan to pay off the full amount, paying off the loan plus interest damn near killed me though. Glad to see this won't happen again.
Council tax is disgusting. It is unfair, regressive, abusive, bizarre, and aggressive. It has claimed the lives of people, imprisoned and abused people for too long. The whole system needs overhauling.
Bailiffs are banned in Scotland. The worst they can do in Scotland is garnish your wages for a reasonable monthly amount with minimal admin costs added.
should not be able to request the full year payment since you may move out, only the outstanding amount. You could end up losing your home to pay for a council tax bill for the preceeding year that would no longer be due if you were evicted to pay said bill. Make it make sense.
Councils don't take you to court, they stage a court buy hiring there own judge they hire a court room and a judge looks at anywhere up to 500 cases at the same sitting then they send there own private bailifs, seeing all councils have registered since bent blare as LTD companies (check company house) the first thing you should be asking is where is the contract between the customer and the LTD company
Council tax biggest pile of shite ever. I’d rather put £200 down the drain
I had to pay a years council tax in 6 months cause they thought I was self employed when I was not even though I had been full time for 4 years. They then made me send over all my contract details and etc and still made me pay even though they made the error 😂
If you don't spend more than you earn you should be ok
Most host will also accommodate if you can show the reason why your flight was canceled especially if it was out of your hands.
An extreme version of this happened in the last few years. Someone had made an AirBNB reservation and there was I want to say a hurricane and the area where the AirBNB was located was put under mandatory evacuation…no one allowed in. AirBNB was refusing to refund them and people online were actually defending AirBNB. That said, most hotels have a 24-48 hour cancellation, so if you’re delayed you would end up eating that night day or two’s rent, but if you’re unable to make it at all, you should be able to get everything past the first or second night back. The question then becomes if the added cost and inconvenience (having to take whatever hotel they bundle) of a package is less than the cost of a couple nights of hotel rent.
If you're having difficulty paying one months CT just how can you come up with the rest of the years. Especially for services you haven't received? Its state sponsored extortion.
Never paid council tax in 36, plus years. Yes the council have tried to get money off me but I simply state I'm exempt from council tax due to having no private pension this is a legal loop hole your council will not inform you of.
Who the f@<£ is the “Council” to demand to be paid in advance just because someone is late on a payment???? Can any othe service supplier do that? Let alone a provider of “public services” by “public servants” !!! Disgusting!
I had a letter demanding £10 or bailiffs are coming. even though council tax was paid in full. These laws should work both ways. The amount of time it took me to get through to them to then finally be told ignore was around 5 hours. Should get compensation for the time I wasted and distress caused to address this. But you get nothing!
Its disgusting bailiff taking half of friends weekly wage for council tax debt
Its designed to removed the poor from society.
Start an illegal vape shop. Pay no tax. Threaten trading standards. Only idiots live by the rules
Top work this guy does but were nibbling at a planet sized problem when we should be nuking it.
Stay home this summer and save your society
Its nothing new. The origin of it goes all the way back to maggie thatchers poll tax. Same idea as privatisation- eg outsource responsibility of central government to local govt just as they outsourced responsibility for water, energy and so on. They only partially fund local gov and inevitably it makes councillors look bad.
Just reschedule the hotel for the following year
Moral of the story; don't travel by air. Get a bike ( Goldwing or such) and take the ferry if needed. Comfortabele, fun , less stress
Which packaged bank account was it that had the insurance for that cover
Change only happens if the people of this country become politcal and VOTE!
what's the name of that ONE insurance company? I want to switch to them today
Hey let’s not forget Dartford Crossing.. you forget, your payment doesn’t go through because you’re already skint. Congratulations 🥳 here’s a £2000 fine
Whatever they can legally do Here’s what actually happens They send it to a bailiff, they send a letter, after a month they call They may visit around 6months in I’ve been done more than once, I can promise that 3 weeks nonsense isn’t real, wether legally they can or not I don’t know but you’ve dealt with the council, 3 weeks to open the email, 3 weeks to read it Nothing is happening in 6 weeks lol Just regular bailiffs, they threaten dumb shit but again they are just people, unless they have the paper from the high court you can just tell them to fuck off, one the county court sheriffs get involved just pay it lol
We basically pay these councils to fund illegal immigration. Not for the things the money should be used on
Council tax is an illegal tax anyway,,,,, look into it ,,,,
Happened to me. I finally got a decent bonus at work, first time ever. They'd instructed my workplace to pay off my whole year because I'd missed one month. Oh, and I had no idea till it happened thanks to the Royal Mail being absolutely pointless now.
In 6 weeks u can go to court??? Fucking hell, the criminal system is overclogged and is at 3 years. Of course its an issue considering the sheer amount of serious offenders getting bail. But the fact it's 6 weeks for court
To put it another way. How does it become the hotel's problem that your airline let you down? They held the room for you and couldn't accept other bookings.
Martin Lewis deserves a knighthood. Great work!
They were taking me to court because the council alleged I missed one payment even though I had the receipt finally after months of harassment we found out the lady at the post office put one wrong number in so the payment didn't go to our account the stress it caused was unimaginable, now I pay by direct debit I'm sure they are very happy about that...
The uk 🇬🇧 needs the money Hoilday at home this year
Don't book your hotel. Find accommodation WHEN you get there.
This as it des not fix underlying issues with money education, financial and debt management plus endemic low incomes, people are struggling out there - a basci incme hardly scratches the surface. The margin between haves versus have nots has become huge.
Ive owed council tax,they never took me to court in 3 weeks,what part of england are they living in🤔
