As Of 15th July Lowcost holidays are now in receivership. I would advise anyone who has booked through them to visit their website. Seems most people will lose their holidays. I am one of them. Do not bother to email them or the address on their website for the receivers as it only logs the mail and you will only get a standard letter of apology and nothing else. As follows:
Dear Sir / Madam
Lowcosttravelgroup Limited (in administration) (the “Companyâ€)
Lowcostaviation.com Limited (in administration)

Bad situation for you. I hope you can get something back through the various channels described at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/travel/2016/07/low-cost-holidays-calls-in-administrators
This appears to have been a company who presented themselves as British but had moved to Spain and so aren't covered by Atol or ABTA protection. Their claim that the Brexit vote has caused their problems certinly doesn't ring true.

I wonder how many times we are going to hear BREXIT CAUSED IT in the coming months it will be a plaster for all cuts {dodgy deals gone wrong}
They were another company operating on wafer thin margins in the `Bed Bank` arena. When things tightened up in the UK re regulations on packages became more stringent, they threw a hissy fit, you can imagine why, and left the jurisdiction of the UK for Spain. Sadly todays news comes as no surprise. They were the type of firm living a hand to mouth existence and when business dipped they went..

At the time of its ending Spike, this company was actually based in Spain and Poland. It had left the UK because of tighter regulations on how these companies were required to operate. They went to Spain 3 years ago because protection for the customer was much, much less than it would have been in the UK..Just so sorry of over 100,000 who are facing holiday misery..
Oh yes Spike,before I forget, I see you are still posting your gibberish after the twitching hour...take more water with it :P :-*
If anyone is interested there is a link on my Facebook from Martin Lewis the money expert on how you go about getting your money back ;D

The forecasts out today put the UK in recession in a few months time so you won't have to worry about foreign holidays. You won't be able to afford them.
Not to worry. There's always a cheap weekend in Skegness.
