Do I ask my friend to give me money back for cancelled holiday?

I'm so angry and upset by this- me and my friend had planned on going holiday to Ibiza and this week she has cancelled on me! She said she doesn't have the money to afford spends but was happy enough to book it 2 months ago! Personally, I think there is something more behind it but anyway!

We had both paid a deposit- I had paid all of my half and told her before I was going to pay it that I was going to do that, just so I didn't flutter the money away! She has only paid her deposit. She told me to find someone else to go but Ibiza is expensive and we go in 4 months- no one wants to save it that quickly and people have now got other holidays booked!

So my question is- do I ask for the lot back? I'm hoping the travel agents will give me the majority, most people have said I just won't get the deposit back. Do I ask her for my deposit back? There is also a cancellation fee- do I ask for that? She is the one who has let me down. She also knows that I have paid for clothes to go. Also for my birthday, my mum bought me clothes and gave me euros. She is really angry too! I also had to turn down a job for this holiday which I know isn't the end of the world, but at the interview they were not keen on me being away for a week.

Also, if someone does decide to take her place, how much is the name change? And do I ask her to pay for that as well?

I don't want to be a money grabber, but I don't want to pay all that money for nothing when she is the one who has let me down.

Thanks! x

sure ask her for all the money but expect to get zero and be out a friend

Your friend isn't keeping you from going, that's your decision.

It sounds like your friend payed for her deposit and she isn't going to get that money back.
If you decide not to go, you should check with the travel company about when you have to formally do it and you aren't going to get your deposit back from the company. That's your decision, not your friend's. If you want, you can go without her.

It would be worth both your time to ask the company about substituting a different person. If you can find that person, they would pay the whole amount, including the deposit. So you'd recoup that money. It might be worth it (particularly for your friend) to offer the trip at a discounted price, by half the deposit amount, so that they recoup half the deposit rather than none.

I'd ask for the money back. As much of it as you can. The worst that could happen is she says no.

No one here knows you will have to ask the company you paid about if you can cancel and what it costs and if you get anything back and how much also if someone else takes her place what the cost would be to change the name
