Booked a holiday last November with Olympic holiday's, departure should have been this coming weekend. Unfortunately in July we had to cancel this holiday as I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness and travel was no longer possible.
This company probably contributed to the stress which my partner and I were under at the time, having to try and speak to someone in customer service to explain the situation was near impossible, when we did manage to get through, I can only describe the experience likened to conversing with robots... no empathy what so ever.
We cancelled the holiday over the telephone after speaking to many operative's, we then send several email's to the email addresses which Olympic gave to us notifying then of our intention but the emails either bounced back and we were told that this was our responsibility that email's had not been received.
Really cannot believe that this well established travel agent, who has been in the travel business for so many year's is so terribly let down by their after sales.
We had numerous 'robot' like telephone messages left on our telephone answering, Olympic wanted their money.... and eventually that is what we gave them.
Rest assured when I am fit and travelling again I shall be leaving Olympic holiday's well alone !
Sorry to hear you had such a dreadful experience but presumably you have now been able to claim this money back from your travel insurance?
You need to contact your travel insurers. I have recently had to cancel my holiday due to a heart attack. My insurers were brilliant ( tesco) and I got all my money back. I had a little problem getting an invoice from hotels.com but all I was asked to provide by the insurers was proof of what I had paid( a cc statement)
So if you are saying you can't get an invoice from Olympic, see if your insurers will do the same as mine.

My main compliant was regarding Olympic Holiday's and their absolute shabby customer service, really does let down this holiday company down.
Just for future reference- if you phone your insurers first they will let you know what you need. It is a stressful time as you are just waiting for them to come up with a reason not to pay. I was feeling pretty fragile at the time but my insurers, Tesco, were brilliant. I hope you get it sorted quickly so you can concentrate on getting better.
