heading to margot on the 27 this month have it booked
exclusive had it paid for in full in january ferrys booked and paid
when tuesday morn gone we get a letter from Angling Lines
looking for more money even though they had sent
us the receipt a couple months ago saying paid in full thanks.
looking for more money because the euro is so good against the sterling
that they were losing money in the transaction converting it over even though when we paid the euro was weak at 82cent or there abouts i know the recessions in but fcuk that and no two ways about it either we pay it or we wont be fishing the lake they said and our money is non refundable pullin a scam or what????? what do ye think that?????
needless to say wont be booking with ANGLING LINES again

that doesn't sound to legit,I'm no legal eagle but i would be seeking advice
on that one,some of the lads who have traveled abroad a lot may know the ins and outs of these things,have you tried contacting Gareth (hes a member on the site)
Hi there
As some of you are off to Margot soon, thought you might like to see the post I've made on my Blog following my visit to the venue this week.

Cheers

you could try ringing the citizens advice board
http://www.citizensinformationboard.ie/
they may have a legal whizz kid that could help.
hope it works out

Thats a rip - post it on all the big uk forums and any other carp forum for that matter!

were talking to a BRIDGET KEEP over the matter was on the fone for the guts of an hour and got really no where as such only if we dont pay the extra few quid we wont be getting access to the lake needless to say the 7 of us werent to happy to get the letter and it said at the bottom this replaces any other receipts or documents u have already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I'd be concerned, a receipt is given when a transaction is
concluded. You paid X amount to book and hire the lake exclusive, they
gave you a receipt when the whole lot was paid. End of. They requested an amount for a service, you paid in full, that's all about it. The currency fluctuation is not your problem.

if every member on this site filled in this ask the question blog
as to why the price has changed i wonder would there be an
explanation.

indeed paul thats what we thought and it isnt our fault
thats the arguement we had today but it kept fallen to selective hearing
only hearing what they want plus RORY and DAVE the lads that got the grief over there last year were told they were getting a 15% discount when they would be doing a return trip didnt get it their on the lake 2 weeks or that after us?????? i know the saying desperate times makes for desperate measures but bollox to that she gave some lame excuse about they keep the money in some account for x amount of time or something to that effect before they give it to who ever they do and they lost out changing it over so weve to foot the bill for them or we dont get to fish simple as??????

Only one way to find out Bud. Shall we fill their inbox?

Regarding them keeping their money in the a/c for a period, if their ways of doing business aren't up to scratch then once again it's not your fault. We're going in 6 weeks, god help them if we get the same tripe.

is this to do with the extra fish put in the lake:?: ring up and put the hammer on them doesnt sound to good on the rip as fair as im consernd

dont worry paul itll cost them more in the long run dont worry i filled out that blog see what shite they come back if they do that is?????

Do they think we,re backward or what ,bad enough when our own crowd
are ripping us off
myself,paul c,pat mac,flanders and a few others were thinking of returning
next year as we had an excellent trip on there a couple of years back but i think we should sit back and see the outcome of this
I dont envy the predicament your in ,i know i,d probably pay rather than
miss the weeks fishing as like me your probably looking forward to the week away for ages

if you booked through angling lines your contract is with angling lines
and not with the lake owners,their contract is with angling lines and any
dispute over money should be between them,like i said before there is no
point in second guessing,get a solicitor to have a look at it,and yes Paul
if its not resolved quickly we should fill in the box,whats to stop them trying it with every trip booked,the thought of lost revenue and future
bookings might help the lads cause.

why didnt they come up with it a few weeks ago instead of leaving till 2 weeks before we get there??? ya might have some sit back about it and especially the way this recessions in its hard to get up the few quid to go anyway in the first place without having to pay for their mistakes aswell???? especially and it my first trip to france its not starting out to well to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!

shane one of the lads going on the trip was onto citizens advice today
and apparently its in the small print and they can do it its in their rules not much we can do so he told me to tell any of ye going or thinking of booking to read the small print carefully just off the fone to him

just think lots of big carp:heart: and close your eyes:afro:
