Booked a holiday end of Feb with 'On the Beach' to tenerife to leave Sep 3rd 2012.
Circumstances have changed & now have the opportunity to do IVF through an egg sharing programme where I donate half of my eggs & in return the lady pays for our IVF. We never thought we would get the chance to have IVF as it is so expensive. Obviously I now want to cancel my holiday & OTB (On The Beach) want to charge £60 PER PERSON on top of the £400 we have already paid to cancel!
I have called my bank & asked if they can stop them taking anymore money from my bank but they said my only option was to close my account! As I gave them my details they can take whatever they want, whenever they want
How can they get away with this? I have been trying to call them all evening, I am simply told that my number has been recognised, unfortunately the calls are taking longer to deal with & to call back in X amount of minutes to resume my place in Que..when I call back i get the same but to try again in say 5 mins. 7 times i have done this, the first time was 11 mins, then 2 mins, then 5 mins, then3 mins, then 1 min, then 2 mins.. and have given up after them now saying another 2mins. They charge 50p per minute,,,, does this now mean I have been charged £13 for my place being held in the Que - before i have even got through to anyone???
I am discusted we have to pay more for a holiday we are now unable to go on.
when you log into my account on their website & use the online virtual help you can only make a complaint once you have been on holiday- not before.
can anyone advise me on what to do? I do not need this stress when I am about to try for the only cycle of IVF I will ever be lucky enough to have :(
Good Luck with the IVF you must be excited and nervous at the same time. I hope everything works out for you.
thanks so much for replying..
Thats what I was trying to call them for but you jut dont get anywhere... really hope I dont get charged having not even spokent to them...
so wish Id read the reviews before we booked.. it was my friend who called them 1st & had no trouble getting hold of them..
suppose we will just have to pay the £60 & put it down to experience..
Thanks for the well wishes.. I am a number of things all rolled into one! nervous, scared, excited, obsessed! its a rollercoaster before already & we've only been to consultation!

I've linked to the "on the beach "page but if this reverts back to the main index there are several numbers available from the seach box
to avoid the premium rate Try the 0161 or freephone number here dangermouse I've linked to the "on the beach "page but if this reverts back to the main index there are several numbers available from the seach box
Yep it did . Try this and select "search for alternative number "
NOT email. Write to them ASAP and tell them you are cancelling the holiday. If you wish to tell them why is up to you. Send the letter Recorded Delivery. You can also track this to prove they have received it.
As far as cancellation charges are concerned you entered into a contract when you booked the holiday. The T&Cs will state what cancellation charges apply. You are legally liable for them.

Forget the telephone. If you wish to cancel you will have to do it in writing. As far as cancellation charges are concerned you entered into a contract when you booked the holiday. The T&Cs will state what cancellation charges apply. You are legally liable for them.
