    Final Update on this Thread and Case.

    Phone Arbitration happened. They offered £60 to settle. My friend the driver mentioned the BBC Documentary program regarding the debacle at Leeds and offered £5. They refused and settled for £15.
    I'll take that as a win since it will have cost them £35 to raise the MCOL in the first place & we don't have the hassle of actually going to court.
    Thanks to all for your comments and input over this!

    They settled for £15?? That's amazing

    They clearly know these claims are junk 😂

    That's another win! £15 means they lost money.

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    😀


    P.S. which documentary? Link?

    I've been a bit out of the loop & am just catching up but this looks like a great result for you @PCGuruSwami. 😁

    I too have now had the mediation call & offered the obligatory £5 to settle but no luck for me, see my case details here -

    I wonder what made them settle at £15 for you but wasn't an option for me, when the circumstances seem pretty much identical..

    I have also captured the details from the BBC reports & statements from others saying that its unclear & unfair.

    I now have a notice of allocation to the small claims track for the 9th October so better start preparing for that.

    I will pop an update on my post, but any advice is greatly appreciated.
