Last week I booked a package holiday for the family and put down deposit of €1 each. Low deposit has been widely advertised as something appealing to the consumer.I booked from the aer lingus website but the booking agent is clickandgo. Unfortunately there has been a change in circumstances and I know we will not to able to travel as hoped. The trip was booked for December. When I contacted clickandgo to cancel I met with a lot of hostility. The agent was difficult to say the least. He said I was still liable for the non-refundable cost of the flights. As I did not even fund the flights yet this makes no sense. He told me I could sell on the flights or reschedule them but when I looked on the aerlingus website it clearly states that you cannot make changes to a booking made by an agent. Why would I pay the balance of the flight cost?

I don't think anyone would. If they get even more difficult, ask them to show you a contract where you're legally obliged to pay. Somehow doubt they'll have one. Typical pushy sales tactic to get angry and guilt you into paying something when you've no legal obligation to do so.
