Canada 3000 Update

There is some unclaimed money available to ‘would-be’ vacationers six years after the bankruptcy of Canada 3000 Holidays…

This is a good news story for consumers…after what in my mind was one of the biggest travel nightmares I have seen over the past 15 years.  And I’m guessing there are people who had tickets 6 years ago…who had already ‘given up’ hope of ever seeing any of that money again. Well, the court-appointed Judicial Trustee for Canada 3000 Holidays…Pricewaterhouse Coopers announced yesterday that they have some money to distibute to claims holders in Canada that they have not been able to get in-touch with. 

PricewaterhouseCoopers has successfully processed about 40,000 refunds to customers of the former Canada 3000 Holidays since November 2001, refunding 100 cents on the dollar.  But, mail and cheques to about 2,700 legitimate claimants have been returned as undeliverable. 
These are people who have likely moved or changed their name and have not been successfully tracked down.  And now, as Judicial Trustee, PricewaterhouseCoopers would like to get - what amounts to just over three quarters of a million dollars - into the hands of the people who paid for vacation travel that was never realized.

The list of people with unsettled claims is posted to this website www.pwc.com/brs-canada3000.
