Mark Warner - Shocking customer service!!

To cut a long story short we have been loyal customers of Mark Warner Hols over the years. This Jan we had a the holiday from hell experience with them.. delayed flights, no hot water or air con, childcare safety issues, food poisoning to name a few. Certainly not the 5 star experience portrayed in the brochure. Well I put pen to paper and complained. Despite agreeing that all the problems we had were true they were dismissive. Not happy with the result I have involved a solicitor who immediately took the case on as 'no win-no fee' feeling confident we had grounds for some compensation. Mark Warner are now playing games with us forcing us to take the case to court. I am totally disgusted with this company and its antics. Please beware, make sure you read TripAdvisor and remember if you have cause for complaint you will probably not get anywhere.

Yes its the time and effort as well as stress.
I now feel so angry particularly as they took no notice of my concerns for the childcare safety issues, local workmen working amongst the kids leaving sharp tools and stanley knifes in the play areas... none of these guys police checked either.
I will fight them to the end just so disappointed and angry at their attitude.
Just thought I would warn anyone before they book.0 -

Point taken.. however Mark Warner had no control over when the workmen came in and worked among the children. The nannies could not possibly keep tabs on every single child all the time. Besides unattended stanley knives and children are a recipe for disaster.0

Agree about the Stanley knives - I think this is by far the significant risk to the childrenHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

Your way leads to the controversy with the authors who [quite rightly IMO] will no longer go into schools because of the CRB checks. In your case, the control measure for the risk should be proper supervision of the children, not CRB'ing anyone and everyone. Ohterwise, you'll end up needing a CRB to buy an icecream. Wait, this is Barmy Britain we are talking about...
Yeah right, I mean, trying to prevent little kids getting raped and molested, that's just totally barmy.0 -

You get a solicitor involved and then complain that the defendant wants to go to court? Irrespective of what actually happened on your holiday Mark Warner clearly think they have a better case than you. Or did you think that you could bully MW by employing a solicitor? It looks like they have called you on this one.0
