Checkin.com.au goes into voluntary liquidation (posted May 22 2013)

Checkin.com.au goes into voluntary liquidation check in website Checkin.com.au yesterday went into liquidation and is no longer accepting bookings.

An email sent to the industry said there will be a creditor’s meeting in June and told hoteliers that if they are holding “future bookings to please contact the guest to arrange direct booking and payment.”

Operators are reportedly calling arriving guests to advise they will not be accepting booking from this booking agent and therefore it is affecting the customer who has purchased and paid for accommodation.

A further statement in the email said that all those looking for a refund should “submit a claim to their credit card provider,” or failing that contact the liquidator, Holzman Associates for “further assistance.”

As of now the company’s website is still up and running and is showing no sign of Checkin’s fiscal problems, up until the point where users attempt to actually make a booking, where the final page says the “website is undergoing maintenance and not processing reservations”.
