I believe travel agents are in the same category has insurance companies, you only find out how good they are when you have a problem.

Indeed!  I think that is true of a lot of businesses at this time. It's tough. I know. One just has to do the best to protect oneself.

Indeed, so true! At least with travel insurance, you can take it all the way to the Financial Ombudsman if necessary.....we had to do that a few years back, and won our case. Their intransigence in trying to avoid paying out on a stonewall case was astounding. Maybe you can do same with travel agents, not sure, but S75 disputes via your credit card bank are possible.

Me too. More control at this time. I'm just sad that I lost my contact at cruiseline some while ago and they is why I went away from direct booking and started using agents. I'm afraid everyone is up against it at the moment, not least travel agencies.

Snap. Exactly the same here.

Even  before the present trouble I had a problem with car insurance.

I had insured my car and house for years with a major over 50s insurer.

My. car was slightly damaged while parked outside my grandsons school.

I went to my main dealership for an estimate, they took one look at my insurance details and said sorry we will not deal directly with them anymore because they take far too long to pay the bill.

I was going to have to pay them and them make the claim myself.

In the end the other parties company paid the bill direct the garage.

My company lost a long time customer and that of several of my friends.

I've got a travel claim out at the moment that is dragging along very slowly. That's a bit of a saga!
