    Blah blah blah ..........................

    YES THE BOX I TICKED BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE AN UNFAIR T/C LAWFUL, NOW CAN YOU GET YOUR HEAD AROUND THAT???

    THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AGREED TO THE BANKS T/Cs BUT HAVE HAD THERE MONEY BACK FOR CHARGES, HAVE THEY NOT?

    IF CONTRACTS WERE SO BINDING THERE WOULD BE VERY LITTLE NEED FOR COURTS.

    I AM NOT SAYING I HAVE A CASE OR NOT BUT AM ASKING FOR CONSTRUCTIVE POSTS THAT GIVE SOME ADVICE AND OPINION THAT IS RELEVANT, LIKE THAT OF MARKYMARKD. I DON'T MIND WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE IT COMES ON AS LONG AS IT IS CONSIDERED AND RELEVANT.

    listen 'matey' I shall make you a deal...I shall get my head around whatever you wish to rant about when you get your head around what you have done...you made a mistake, pay for it...have you? please sort it or you will be ranting again when you go to do so and the fare has jumped up again.
  • ps your choice is quite simple at the end of the day too, if you do not agree with the costings to change it then don't pay it...your choice....

    Good morning PJB

    its another day, another dollar, so I'll try and help you, post by post



    I would have thought that if they have made the error, then they would put it right free of charge - but it may come down to you having to prove that the error is theirs.


    If the mistake is yours, I would imagine that they would expect you to cough up.


    You're quite right. It doesn't help in getting the name changed. That will involve you contacting them and paying them additional money to change the name.


    To me, it is reasonable, others may hold a differing view (but hey, you ASKED for peoples opinion ;)).
    Have you asked Easyjet to explain the pricing difference ? It is possibly to early to be trying to claim ripoff.



    OK, it now looks like you are no longer travelling with Easyjet and you are going to persue legal recourse for what you feel has been unfairly taken from you.
    Before you do, is it possible that the cost of the additional flights will be a LOT more than the fairly moderate charge that EAsyjet are charging you.
    You may be about to cut your nose off to spite your face.
    I do not know how much it would cost the airline, but I would imagine that their pockets are a lot deeper than yours if you decide to take the legal route.
    The site is absolutely packed solid with all sorts of information in the name of UK CONSUMER REVENGE. A great deal of it comes from the site owner who checks, checks and rechecks Terms & Conditions to see if there are loopholes to be exploited. I'm sure that I have heard him talking about the importance of checking Terms and Conditions before entering into an agreement with someone.
    Personally, if I didn't consider someones T&C's to be lawful, I wouldn't have signed an agreement to trade with them.
    To consider someones T&C's to be unlawful and still agreeing to abide by them (I trust you mean that you read them through BEFORE you signed the agreement), I would imagine is at best unwise to do. In fact, it sounds a quite negligent thing to do.



    That sounds very reasonable, why is it not happening in your case ?

    Have you now rebooked with another airline as you said several posts ago ?

    several knockabout posts, insults & retorts not requoted.:beer:



    I would imagine that until challenged in Court, they are free to charge whatever they like.& they don't need to justify their chrages to anyone.
    What the banks charge for banking services seems to me to be a completely seperate issue.



    Is that because there is the admin charge for the name change to add onto the actual seat price difference ?



    So its £20 each way ? Seems very reasonable to me - especially with the error being yours.




    Then go for your day in Court and let a Judge decide once and for all if it is fair and more importantly, legal.
    I'm sure that a LOT of people would be interested in the outcome.



    I too have a great many pinciples and I too do not like being ripped off. To stop myself being 'ripped off' when dealing with online dealings I always take the (sensible) precaution of checking, rechecking and rechecking again any online form before I hit the submit/order button.
    This is a good compromise, as it means that I can maintain my principles, but still avoid being ripped off.
    I can't recall if I ever put my opinion of bank charges reclaimers on MSE and I've nenver reclaimed any charges myself.
    As regards being a consumer who is seeking revenge on a large company - that presumalbly is your day in court that you referred to up the thread.



    OK, so it was you who made the mistake with the booking ?
    I would have considered that the person who made the mistake would be the one who takes responsibility for the consequences of their actions. That, IMO, is fair.
    As for the legalities of it, your leagl case should nail that one, once and for all.

    several posts going over the same ground :beer:



    there is a list of rules & regulations that exit about posting on here, plus you have to agree with the T&C's of the site before your register to post on here. If there is a group of people who you consider should be banned from the site, have you considered contacting the site owner about it ?

    a few more knockabout posts, not requoted.



    The devils in the details, isn't it ?
    To some people, an admin charge of £1 would be unreasonable, whereas to me, an admin charge of £40 for 2 flights is reasonable.



    sorry, I thought that you said that the charge was £40



    Oh dear, thats not usually a good sign in an online discussion.



    Thank you. I always go the EXTRA mile to try and help people who would like to be helped.:beer:



    Also, if you had have done a search on this site, you would have very possibly found your answer, without starting a new thread ;)

    more knockabout posts backwards and forwards.



    & you got a goodly amount of responses and a lot of opinions. However, when the responses weren't the ones taht you were looking for and when the opinions were different to yours, you have become (in varying degrees) abusive, insulting, aggressive and intransigent.

    Noone on here is perfect -- in fact, some people on here are unable to fill in a basic form properly and then are incapable of checking it, before submitting it ;)

    Well OP

    now that you've had the chance to sleep on it, have you decided on a suitable Court date for your legal challenge to Easyjets T&C conditions.


    GET A LIFE!

    Regarding the trading of insults, they were started by one person. They know who they are and no doubt they know there post was removed due to this.

    Please make my day and confirm to me that you are a man of your word, a man of principles and a man who hates being ripped off by the Big Companies --- please tell me that you actually bought tickets from another airline, like you said you were going to do.:beer:

    It is so life enriching to spend time on a forum such as this - helping the very worthy people who are so appreciative of the effort that is put it to assist them ;)

    cheerio PJB, enjoy your flight and don't forget to tell everyone how you 'gave it to the man'.

    You come across as a spoilt brat who if they cant get their own way stomps their feet and shouts at all and sundry, hopefully this will be the end of your insightfull posts and witty reposts. Heres hoping anyway.

    I think it makes a statement that you have enough time on your hands to justify going to court for the sake of £40.


    all the best
