Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 16, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well, hot on the heels of "Been injured in a fall at work?" and "Have you paid PPI?" and lots of other reasons to phone folk up in the hope of getting a litigation claim, I've just had a call asking if I'd felt ill following an all inclusive holiday in the last three years. Good grief, the call centres must be running out of things to mither me about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Have you been on an all-inclusive holiday in the past three years? Were you perfectly fine with your experience until now? Do you fancy some compo? Are you prepared to be a lying c*nt? Then sit back and wait for the call from Parasite Bastard and Sons Solicitors - today! Mildly inconvenienced by a delayed flight home...

Moderators Zico Posted March 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2017 Mildly inconvenienced by a delayed flight home... This is the only one I've ever pursued as on one occasion I was massively inconvenienced and on the other the staff just kept making things up as to why we were delayed Both were over 4 hour delays and got a decent payout on both Fuck Ryanair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is the only one I've ever pursued as on one occasion I was massively inconvenienced and on the other the staff just kept making things up as to why we were delayed Both were over 4 hour delays and got a decent payout on both Fuck Ryanair On Tomski stag do, several of us where delayed at Stansted. The flight set off 3h20 late.......happy days we thought, that's well over the 3hrs permitted. Sadly, as I found out when I tried to claim, it's only (which thinking about it now is pretty obvious) if you're 3hrs late on the planned arrival time. We arrived 2h57 late.......

Moderators Zico Posted March 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2017 We arrived 2h57 late....... Bet they still played the fan fare when they landed One of the occasions, soon as they told us it was going to be delayed they sent out emails saying it wasn't their fault so don't bother trying to claim thats before we knew how long we'd be delayed and it was their fault They knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I bet I've flown Ryanair well over a hundred times, probably more, and have been delayed for longer than an hour twice, and one of these delays, luckily, I was delayed, so the delay was good, I'd probably have missed the flight otherwise... The maximum reimbursement for a delayed flight should be the cost of the flight (in the case of budget airlines), if you fail to make a connection, or have to get taxis etc. then tough, don't fly with the peasants next time... I'd be pissed off if they raise prices to pay out compo claims of folk who got back three hours late from a stag-do in Prague or a hen-night in Benidorm.

Whites man Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Being able to claim for delayed flights is a piece of EU legislation which I can see disappearing from the statute books pretty soon after Brexit finally happens. I have made a claim in the past and all it took was a little reading up and a 2 minute visit to the Easy Jet website, don't be letting companies do it on your behalf for a cut.

Prices are probably going to increase for Brits anyway when we leave the Open Skies arrangement in a couple of years. Not to mention Travel Insurance costs when we give up our EHIC's.

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted March 17, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2017 If you catch salmonella from a resort from poor staff hygiene, don't you want them to be culpable? And if your holiday was ruined because of it, don't you want your money back? I am certainly not defending call centres buying data and cold calling by the way (thats as low as lead generation gets), but holiday sickness compensation is totally legitimate. And the cases that go through are extremely valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) How is it irrefutable it's poor hygiene on the part of the staff? It's likely that those dining themselves are passing bacteria etc. into the food in a lot of cases - somebody on here reported witnessing a diner (a scumbag diner) using the serving spoons to taste dishes then putting them back in the food at an all-inclusive holiday they were on... If I'd had my holiday ruined I'd complain there and then and continue to complain until I had redress, I wouldn't sit and stew on things for three years - how can the firm(s) involved make a decent case for defence after so long? They won't - they'll simply pay out and the parasite litigation companies who are pushing these claims know this. The last time I had food poisoning it was a cheeseburger from McDonalds, I'm confident that was the source, I was ill as fook for a week, did I expect compo? No. This is the second time I've wrote this an' all Edited March 17, 2017 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I am fucking sick of that 'full version' button, twice I've wrote a bloody long treatise on compo claims and twice had them wiped by accidentally hitting that bloody button, well, not thrice...I feel a compo claim for distress and ligament damage to the thumb coming on...

Whites man Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The WanderersWays brief will claim the ligament damage was caused by your opening countless cans of Frosty Jack cider and bottles of Brasso over the years. Fight dirty those legal types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I open the knight rider and brasso with the other hand, and yes, there are claims in against both Lever Brothers and Indiego for; too easily opened bottles (Brasso), too hard to open bottles/ligament damage (Frosty Jack) and that Brasso doesn't make clear it's not a suitable beverage and that Frosty Jack makes false claims that it is a suitable beverage. My sparkling and shiny hand supports the 'seperate hand' aspect of the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seemed very random that they'll hit upon someone who had a shit holiday because of poor service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
