Contact of insolvency administrator

In August, the ECC has reported about the insolvency of the company Lowcostholidays Spain S.L (see here). At that time, the situation regarding the provider of the websites "Lowcostholidays.com" and "Hoteling.com", offering booking of hotels and flights, was relatively intransparent.

Our colleagues from the European Consumer Centre in UK have some news. The firm Smith and Williamson LLP and CMB Partners UK Ltd was assigned to manage the insolvency proceedings. Affected consumers can turn to the following e-mail address: lowcosttravelspain@smith.williamson.co.uk.

Credit cards versus subscription traps

Non-delivery due to new packaging regulation

Since the New Year, importers and companies without a registered office in Austria have had to appoint a domestic representative for packaging materials, otherwise they face penalties. Many online retailers do not want to shoulder this additional effort. This is why it can be observed more and more in online shops that delivery to Austria is currently not possible.
