Need to cancel my holiday to Turkey

I booked a holiday to Turkey through On The Beach. I have paid the first depsoit of £119 .

I have now split with my partner and will no longer be going on the holiday. I have tried to get a refund but they can only cancel my hotel and not my flights. I cannot afford to pay for this holiday on my own. I need to pay a second deposit of £160 on February 16th which I just don;t have. My partner was supposed to be giving me the money for it (its my bank account that the money is coming out of).

To cancel the holiday it will cost another £325!! I just can't pay it. What can I do? If they try take the money ou of my account on Feb 16th I will get charges becaause the money just won't be there.

What options do I have please?

  • You can cancel the authority for them to take the money with your bank to at least avoid that issue. It doesnt change your liability to the company but puts the ball in their court on how far they want to take things.

    You dont have any friends or family that would want to go with you and just change it to a twin room? Given its just the flights you cant pay that and book an ultrabudget place to kip and go anyway?

    I am afraid you will have to pay if you can't find anyone to go with you and even if you do it will cost you to change names.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.
