I am getting married on 24.06.16. I booked my Starlit dancefloor last year and paid a deposit of £100. I used PayPal to make the payment as I thought this would protect me if anything went wrong. Well it has, the company I booked with have vanished with mine and everyone elses money. I am gutted as it's only 2 weeks til my wedding and now I have to try to find the money to get another one (if there are any available at such short notice).
I contacted PayPal expecting that I would be refunded but they have come back and told they wouldn't do this as the payment was more than 45 days ago. Of course it was, I am planning my wedding, I had to book well in advance to be sure of getting my date.
Has anyone else been through something similar and was the outcome any different for you?
Thanks

Not sure i understand you as you can file a dispute in the UK up to 180 days after you paid.
BUT you said you booked it last year so surely that is after 180 days??

All i can suggest is that if you funded that paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
