Cancer diagnosis and no refund even with a two-week notice

[Tim4389]

Can anybody help me with a problem?    I got a diagnosis of prostate cancer two weeks before I was going to London for a month vacation.   I told the host immediately and he was very nice and said he would reimburse me for whatever I had paid if he could afford it.   That was fine.   But now, the day before I was supposed to go, I still have no details about what that money would be and not a penny has come into my account.    To complicate things further, I am able to postpone most of the treatment until January as it is not spreading as quickly as we feared.   I've been trying to make a deal with the host but to date I have no firm word on what is going to be done.    And so I'm doing my best to find some way to save some of my trip.    Any ideas?

Dispute with your Credit Card Company immediately… they will reimburse you while they investigate the matter.

usually within a week.
