Dishonest

Booked a wheelchair taxi days in advance to take mom for a Mother’s Day lunch. Turns out they don’t have wheelchair taxis and tried to claim I hadn’t booked one. I explained I definitely did as you have to go to a different page to book a wheelchair taxi and once she doubled checked she just said sorry we don’t have them. No good for me and my family as it was very difficult to find another company to take us and we missed our booking.
