How a company sent one family to a succession of villas they had no right to stay in.

The Rip Off Britain team investigate the jaw-dropping tale of how a company sent one family to a succession of villas it turned out they had no right to stay in.

As one woman reveals how a pilgrimage to Graceland ended with a stay in the heartbreak hotel when her wheelchair was damaged by the airline, the team explores what should happen if similarly vital possessions don't finish the journey in one piece.
