Hello,
I am just looking for some advice. Early last year we booked a holiday home to rent over Christmas week 2014. We paid a non-refundable deposit of 250 pounds and was told to pay full balance 8 weeks before holiday start date. However, I have fallen ill and have had to cancel the holiday (7 weeks and 1 day before start date.) Understandably, the deposit is now lost but the owner is also insisting that I am liable to pay the full holiday price (3200 pounds) as I have cancelled less than 8 weeks before (6 days late). The terms and conditions displayed on the holiday home website do not have any mention of this, but there is now a revised version which looks to have been updated recently.
Can anyone give me any advice on this matter? Is he likely to sue me for non payment?
