Can anyone please help

I had to fly home urgently from Fuertevenura to the UK back on the 14th January this year as my Father was taken seriously ill.
I bought tickets for the following flights as follows;
IB3907 13:50 Fueteventura to Madrid
IB3718 18:15 Madrid to Gatwick
At 18:00 on the 14th Iberia cancelled the flight due to a fault with the aircraft and we were told to return to the airport the following morning.

On the 15th January we took off at 08:30 to Madrid. It was the same aircraft that had been worked on all afternoon the day before.
When I got to Madrid, there were no flights to Gatwick, just two to Heathrow.. I managed to get on the earlier flight and finally arrived in Heathrow at 14:45 (local time) on the 15th January.

I contacted Iberia Airways and they have just dismissed my case, closed it without informing me and obviously paid no compensation, complaint reference C16011-3259394105 refers.

I then found your Resolver tool on the website and used that to continue my claim with Iberia. Despite escalating the complaint right the way to the top man at Iberia, I have never yet received one reply to my emails.

I tried to claim through the CAA, but they advise it is not down to them as my flight was not leaving from a UK airport.

Sadly my Father died just a few days after I arrived home, and I have been trying to get this matter sorted ever since.

Can you please help?

With anticipated thanks
