Taking Amazon to court

Well done.  For the sake of £20 I think it's always worth following up by issuing a court claim.  I'm always surprised that so many posters don't think it's worth it.

It's not just £20 though is it? It's the time/effort it takes to complete the claim, write the witness statement, fill in the directions form, speak to the lawyers etc. Now some may think this is fun, some may have nothing better to do with their time but others will value their time and think its not worth investing their time for the hope of a relatively small return. Add to that many mess up and so £20 becomes more when it turns out they issued against the wrong entity or in the wrong jurisdiction etc plus the time to resubmit the claim etc. 

My one personal court claim was for circa £1,500 and that was worth a few hours of my leisure time but for the £100/£200 that we often see on here? Becomes much more questionable

Well to me the OP seems quite happy with the outcome.  (Apart from Amazon messing them around from the outset).

Perhaps some people would value their £100/£200 on a par with your £1500.

Different people in different financial circumstances value their time differently...

I think it was @Jumblebumble (apologies if I'm tagging the wrong poster) who previously posted a link to a dispute where someone made a claim for £10 and won (by default IIRC). 

Again if I'm remembering correctly the amount ended being around £200 and the claimant was paid.

Can anyone please confirm the NAME of the Amazon company that has to be named on the Court paperwork.

I have a security video of the Amazon driver stealing a parcel that he claimed he delivered to my house. Amazon wont look at the video wont return the money and wont replace the missing package. Their executive office has refused to help and will not tell me the name of the company to put of the legal paperwork. They said just put Amazon
1 Principal Place, Worship Street
London
EC2A 2BA
United Kingdom

but I have read that they then use that as a defence in Court because it is not the name of a proper legal entity. Is the company "Amazon Services UK Ltd" or something else?

The item was listed and sold by Amazon in the UK and the purported delivery was also by Amazon.

Thanks
