If the Agent has paid for the ticket your'e golden - if not then you're in trouble. If the ticket is not paid for it depends on if you paid for it with a credit card or not, whether it has ATOL or not. First line of defense is ATOL if not you will need to rely on Section 75 if you paid on a CC as the CC is jointly liable.

I had a similar issue that the agent I booked for a CX ticket when bust but thankfully they had paid up so I was able to fly.

I asked on the phone specifically if it had been paid and the agent said they didnt know/couldnt see that info. The ticket was bought in March, so I guess there's a chance they paid. I called BA again and they wont give any more info, other than to call the agent. The lady also said that the ticket is ok for now, but it could change.
