VICTORIA, BC – Following the discharge of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) as the judicial trustee, the Supreme Court of British Columbia approved Consumer Protection BC as the administrator of the C3 Leisure Limited (C3 Holidays) trust account for BC and Western Canada.

C3 Holidays filed for bankruptcy in November 2001 and PWC assumed responsibility for reimbursing eligible travellers out of a trust account. While the majority of eligible claimants have received refunds, outstanding claims still remain.

As the administrator of the trust account, Consumer Protection BC is now responsible for verifying eligibility and processing the remaining claims.

C3 Holidays claimants were assigned a claim number beginning with a ‘V’ by PWC. C3 Holidays clients with a claim beginning with ‘V’ and who have not received 100% of their claim may be eligible for a refund from Consumer Protection BC.

The names of the remaining eligible claimants have now been posted at www.travelrightsbc.ca.

To file a claim with Consumer Protection BC, consumers can visit www.travelrightsbc.ca to complete the appropriate form.

The deadline for filing a claim is Nov. 18, 2012. For more information, contact the Inquiry Centre at 1-888-564-5563 or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

As reported in a previous issue of Travelweek, the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) is responsible for refunding money held in the Ontario trust account.
