I booked a free cancellation hotel on Hotels.com which said no deposit would be taken. However, money was taken from my account as 'pre-authorisation'. Is the website in the wrong?

My flight to Cambodia has still not been cancelled but I cannot go. I booked through a third party but not sure if this means I can get a voucher in lieu of flights or a cash refund?

I moved flat last weekend, thankfully just before the Government lockdown. Will I still be able to get my deposit back from my old flat, once I leave, within 10 days?

I fell for a sales pitch from Easytrade.biz, and now am unable to withdraw any money. I have filled in several withdrawal forms, but it never happenes.
