  • I received $144.62 into my PayPal account which I transferred to my Starling current account for £109.88 this was for a 14 day hire in 2013. Money I never expected and never had to do anything for so I'm more than happy.

    Just received 2 payments into PayPal $197.12 and $172.34 came out at 
    £280.72. Absolutely brilliant. When my cheque gets cashed it should total around £380.
    Never thought for one second it would turn out to be that much and for doing nothing.
    Thankyou all those involved.

    I just got $128 in my PayPal - they had one claim listed and I added about 5 more Avis usa hires that I got via British Airways but they didn't seem to accept the BA reference number which is different to the Avis hire ref.... so I probably missed out somewhat but $128 is better than nothing....

    Never trust information given by strangers on internet forums
  • Hi all, just received a PayPal payment for $120.. thank you so much Ms.Venerus.
  • I just received $144 via PayPal. Steak for dinner tonight, then...
  • for completeness i today also received my payment ... for doing absolutely nothing other than hiring a car 12 years ago...
    Venerus et al v Avis Buget et al  has sent you  $129.61 USD.
    paypal to my bank worked out at £98... excellent!

    Got my payment today. $220. No idea how they worked it out as I know I only paid $300 for the car hire back in 2009.
    Maybe it was because of the scam theorists that didn't claim that it left more in the pot to share?
    Oh well, cheers to Heather!!

    I had six original claim letters which I submitted.  I request payment into a nominated UK bank.

    Yesterday I received six emails requesting I supply details via Wise for the money to be paid direct to my UK bank.

    This I did this morning and within a few seconds the funds were transferred directly into my bank.

    As I had a lot of Florida car rentals over that period including some of over a month; I have ended up receiving over £3,000.
