Friend booked & cancelled holiday

My friend and I was talking about going on holiday and next thing she sent me a message she had booked a holiday for us and paid both our deposits without my knowledge. I was happy to go so I paid 3 months of instalments to her and then she said she couldn’t go anymore and would need to cancel. She offered to pay for a name change for my sister instead but I preferred just to cancel it as it wasn’t really a holiday of my choice anyway. I’ve essentially paid her for nothing so was wondering should she pay me back my 3 payments(£120)? Am I being reasonable to ask for it or should I just let it go?

Has she paid the holiday company the money you sent her? If so are they refunding her?
She offered to pay to name change the ticket and you declined. If she doesn’t get the money refunded then I’m not sure why she would pay you back.
If she hasn’t paid the company anything other than the non refundable deposit then yes, she should pay you back.

YBU - you agreed to pay at the time, if you didn’t want to you should have said so and not started paying her. You also agreed to the cancellation.

Did she hand over money to the travel company?
