Booked hotel only with Love Holidays and am paying in instalments £60 deposit and one payment of £280 so far with the balance due July.

Since booking our chosen hotel has had some really dire reviews and any that are positive seem to be fake ! I'm petrified of staying there now especially as hubby will not be with me and I will be on my own with two young kids. I'd rather cancel and stay somewhere else.

Am also fearful that the third party company will have overbooked or not have my booking at all something I have now read is quite common. I know its common practice for bookings to be processed via a third party but LH seem to be notorious for using agents who do not honour the original booking.

I'm not fussed about losing what I've paid so far but am wondering whether that are likely to pursue me for the balance. I'm waiting for them to confirm how much it will cost to cancel and in the meantime Ive checked the T's and c's for the third party company who are beds with ease and they state 25% which isn't quite what I've paid yet. Anyone had any experience of this ?

Have you given them debit or credit card details for the remaining £280 to be debited ?

If so, you would need to contact Love Holidays to cancel and then arrange to pay the cancellation rate due. Do not leave it before cancelling, as there will be terms regarding cancellation rates which depend on how many days before the holiday you cancel.

If you did not pay the relevant cancellation rate, yes Love Holidays could pursue you for a debt, but I doubt they would issue a court claim for a small amount. But it is always better to deal with this things properly if you can.
