Holiday Dilemma
24 Answers
Myself and two friends booked an expensive break, £975 each. I paid in full, on my credit card - I'm still owe £400.
One of the friends (the lead passenger) stopped speaking to me for four months. After having no joy in my many efforts of reconciling with her I spoke to the travel company about cancelling. They told me I would lose £240. I accepted that loss (£240) as the break would have been very unpleasant for all three of us. The travel company sent £500 to the lead passenger explaining that her and the other persons holidays had gone up and once they had added their £117.50 each to the £500 that would be my full refund.
The lead passenger returned my £500. but my 'friends' say they will not pay the rest of my refund.
I see it as only fair that I get the rest of my refund, £240 was a huge loss to me.

They said:- that I had entered into a contract with Virgin upon booking and that by paying the 30% cancellation fee I was no longer in the contract. The remaining two passengers who are still in the contract must foot any rise in price. Therefore, the remaining sum should be returned to me.
My ex friend allegedly saw 3 different solicitors who told her that she owed me nothing. I guess that you can pay to have your argument backed up even if you're being unfair. My ex friend has tried to make me feel guilty for needing my money back but was persuaded to return it. As far as I'm concerned this matter is now closed!
