Legal Question in Business Law in Utah
Past date charge by hotel
2008-JULY European traveller pays travel agent. Travel agent pays outgoing Touroperator. Outgoing touroperator pays US incoming operator. Traveller checks in and signs regular hotelregistration form and hands creditcard for incidentals, stays at hotel and hands Travelvoucher. Hotel must contractually invoice US incoming operator as per their contract. Unclear if they did so.
2009-March: US Incoming operator goes bankrupt.
2009-March: Hotel charges travellers creditcard for the nights stay. 9 months after stay and despite travelvoucher and hotels contract with US incoming operator.
According to us this is not a legal charge.

Re: Past date charge by hotel
This isn't legal indeed. You had a agreement with the travel agent and the touroperator had an agreement with the hotel. You didn't have an agreement directly with the hotel. In other words, the hotel may charge you for extras (such as minibar !) but not for the stay as such as this was already paid (or should have been) by the touroperator. Otherwise you would pay twice.
