Not sure you have a claim other than maybe for your husbands one day lost holiday and even then only if it means you will have to pay one day extra childcare, how much would that be?


take aways were your choice.


we were without a kitchen for nearly 3 weeks a short time ago. we managed with a microwave in the lounge, we may have had the odd take away but thats all

Your husband had a paid days holiday off work. He obviously had the day off and was paid so what are you claiming for there?

How long does it take to get into your bank account these days please. I'm a bit out of touch.

It's instant when you pay cash in at the post office.

I didn't know that! Thanks!

You're welcome. It makes life so much easier than schlepping to a bank on the high street, especially if you're lucky enough to have one in a local shop.

The £200 cash needed to then be paid into my account asap to pay for someone else to fit a floor. This involved a 1 hour round trip in the car to my nearest bank with 4 kids. Not fun.

You have serious financial issues if you don't even have £200 in another account that you could transfer over.

So you have no savings or emergency fund at all!. :eek:

Because all DH's holidays are already accounted for, so he will now need to take a day unpaid in the future. I don't see why we should foot that bill.

So he should have taken it unpaid to avoid an unpaid day further down the line?

I will continue to pursue them for a day of pay lost as this is what will have to happen later this year due to their incompetence.

If I take £200 from my ISA I cannot transfer it back in.

I guess the general consensus is that a company can give you a shoddy service causing a huge inconvenience but that is ok.

Ah well, will choose a company more carefully next time. One that actually gives a sh*t about their customers...

The company receipt says something about them not being happy until you are, which is so far from the truth it is laughable.

How much interest does that ISA pay?

It's unlikely to be anywhere near the amount that you can get from a current account such as Nationwide where you get 5% interest for a year on balances up to £2,500 where you can take the money out and put it back in as much as you want.

Pink, the issue is you can claim for actual losses. The fact he has to take a day's unpaid in the future isn't part of this claim. He needs to suffer a loss on this occasion (take a day's unpaid now and keep the holiday is the better scenario). It may not appear to make sense but compensation of this nature is based on actual losses. You have to quantify those losses and whilst there is nothing to stop you asking for £300, no court would uphold the argument put forward about your losses thus far.
