..guess ill have to wait and see!
Don't.
It is very important for you to act reasonably with on the beach.
It is best for you and on the beach that you discuss this problem with them, so you can reach an agreement to reduce your payments to them.
So call them and find out what they are prepared to do.
They may reduce the amount to be paid.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
What is the reason you can no longer travel?
You may / should be able to claim against your travel insurance.
So pay the contracted amount then put in a claim for it.The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0 -
While I wouldn't recommend OTB to anyone I wouldn't be the slightest bit sympathetic should the OP be chased by a debt collector at a later stage.0

Ryanair flights are not refundable so OnTheBeach have probably already paid Ryanair for them.
Bottom line is you entered into a contract with OTB, and the low deposit agreement would have been part of it. If you'd read all the T&Cs this would all have been explained.
If they start proceedings against you then you could end up not only owing them £300, but their costs too. You may well be of the opinion that they're a big business and won't bother for £300. But if they are willing to write off such amounts then they probably wouldn't have a good business model. And chasing you will be no big problem for them, they're a business they'll have very easy access to legal teams etc.
As everyone else had said, ignoring it is stupid.0 -
On the Beach will definitely have paid Ryanair for the flights. All they do is go onto Ryanairs website and book them, which is what you should have done. Ryanair won't help them out financially, so OTB will chase you for it.
You owe OTB the balance for your flights. Basically you seem to think it's ok to renege on your contract, and leave someone else to pay for it. It isn't :mad:0 -
They're not going to forget about the £300 but you may be able to reclaim your taxes for the flight (less a fee) which would undoubtedly help.
I should point out that I've never had to do this myself but believe it to be possible.0 -

You can, but it wouldn't be worth it. They'd end up out of pocket by the time they'd paid Ryanairs fee, let alone OTBs.0
