CEL and Mediation Comedy Win
Deamos
Posts: 1 Newbie
Firstly I followed all the great advice and steps to get me to this point and I'm calling this one a win, if not the most oddest win for me to date.
I had the mediation appointment this morning and as per the guidance I offered a token amount to settle out of court.
As I was in a KFC when I overstayed my welcome by 6 minutes, I figured I'd offer £9.49, the cost of my Zinger Supercharger meal at the time.
The mediator did laugh but said she'd put forward this amount to CEL.
Whomever the mediator spoke to at CEL clearly saw the funny side of my offer and the reply was "If you raise that to a Boneless Bargain bucket meal for £19.99 you have a deal"
I couldn't help but laugh and agree. The mediator said in all her time doing that service that ranked up there with her oddest session yet.
It's made me smile all morning :-)
