Need a help/advice.
I called a travel agent 2 days ago to book a flight ticket. We decided on a flight and he asked me to send the money. I transferred the money but didn't receive the ticket. Next day, I called and they said they will send/confirm the ticket after the money is received. Then I checked with my bank and I noticed there was another pending transaction which made the account balance 'not enough' for the ticket price and the money transferred was not complete.
In the mean time, I heard some news from work and my travel plans need to take a back seat.
The travel agent is now calling me to transfer the money as they have booked the ticket for me contrary to what I was told earlier. I asked them to cancel it as the money transfer hasn't happened.
What to do? Can they still force me to pay for the ticket which they claimed they have now purchased for me?
