    Have you read thru the "Taking Airlines to Court Thread" and Court Bundles" thread?
    PM me by all means and I am sure Lord Vauban, KAB111 and others will not mind a PM being sent.

    yes and no, will check the court bundles thread.

    I would just like to post my good news. Virgin have decided to settle my claim with interest and the court fee. I had earlier in the week offered them to settle with only 50% interest. Our letters crossed so I am one happy bunny. Thank you for your help and advice.
  • Does anyone have any updates from last weeks court hearings relating to VS074 June 13 25hr delay Orlando to Manchester.

    I have my court date coming up in January and would like to know if it's worth carrying on with the fight or wasting my money ?

    Any updates would be greatly appreciated

    Originally rejected by Virgin, complained to CAA and was told they had sent it back to Virgin and would here back in 8 weeks - this was at the beginning of Oct - Today we have received cheques!

    Flight number VS0015 on the 10/5/12 Gatwick to Orlando. Received the full €600 amount.

    Of the 6 of us on the flight we have received cheques for the 4 adults but not the 2 children - I am right in assuming if a child has a paid seat they are entitled to the compensation as well?

    Well after a long wait and going through CAA and with new guidelines, this morning 4 cheques appeared :)

    VS15 10th May 2012. 2 Adults and 2 Children.

    :j :beer: Very very happy indeed.

    To everyone who has helped and provided information, thank you.

    Hi all thought I'd post my success and thank all that have given me advice, without this forum I'd never have gone this far!
    I settled at mediation for flight vs016 on the 22nd June Orlando to gatwick.
    I settled for a little less than the full amount which was great as I didn't really want to go to court. The claim was for myself my wife and 3 kids.
    The mediation was simple and relaxed and I'm glad it was sorted.
    Thanks again. Darren
  • 22nd June this year Psaila?

    We settled out of court on that one too for slightly less :)

    I'm glad it's sorted.

    How many people on here are claiming for the VS74 delay out of Orlando on 7th June? I have received a response from VAA stating there are only 10 cases, I can't believe thats true. It also states that the 2 cases listed for durham have been transferred to Horsham but all others remain at local court, is this true also?

    Hey Haslehurst it's robster. received a letter today saying my court date in Rotherham has been adjourned and transferred to Horsham as well....once again they quote 10 other cases....it's got be more than that....Are we getting a coach up ?
