  The American “where there’s blame there’s a claim” culture has always sickened me. The whole concept of class action reminds me a bit of vultures circling a dying animal waiting for the moment they can swoop.
  If you joined this one, good luck to you. I hope it fails but if not you enjoy any money you make from it as much as you deserve.
  Either way you will be paying the cost on any future flights.

    May I politely request that you cease these vile slurs against vultures ?

    They are extremely talented and useful contributors to carrion disposal and dispersal in the savannah, and to compare them to these lawyers unduly tarnishes their reputation with cruel and libellous calumny.

  Absolutely disgusting what these lawyers are doing, how ridiculous to go down the mental health route, it’s just a farce and as noted above, will cost us more in the long run. Unfortunately there are people out there who can’t see the light for £££££ signs in their eyes.

    Nicky What the Lawyers are doing is what they are supposed to do, their job
    get a result is the aim the more they can get the better for their clients
    I thought that’s what they are supposed to do ?

      Chris, whilst I don’t disagree with you, I think this is a step too far…..it is all to do with pre-existing conditions and taking the victim as you find them….but really this is scraping the barrel a bit….if they succeed on this it will open the floodgates to everyone being able to claim for security breaches (which happen all too often on the internet now). If someone actually suffered a loss then I am 100% in agreement but if no loss, password changed then don’t make everyone pay for someone who was anxious for a while ‘in case’ they may suffer loss. Hard hearted….yes

      That’s not a great argument, though, is it, Chris?

      There are people whose job it is to send text messages to people advising of tax rebates or tax demands, purporting they are from HMRC…

      There are professional con artists, professional burglars and so on.

      And tax advisors that look for loop holes in legislation to reduce tax bills, to the detriment of government purses that ends up being detrimental to all other tax payers

        sayling Also there are people advising clients to buy islands abroad so they can pay less tax than the should or sell from Ireland to avoid as much tax/vat as possible or keep their money off shore
        All despicable people “I agree”

    BA should have proactively credited 22,000 Avios to each affected or potentially affected customer and settle the matter

  Also now locked out of my EC after changing and re-changing password. Using Apple generated strong ones. What a farce 🙁

  If you suffer from the problems to the extent suggested in the e-mail, you’d probably be to nervous to book a flight you’d be far too sacred to get on in any case. Honestly.

  I find it hard to feel any sympathy for BA when a bunch of ambulance chasers are going after them with nonsense like this when BA just tell its customers that they wont rebook them onto other cancelled flights. If BA act so badly, why should other companies act nicely with BA?

  Someone should get Mr T involved.
  BA vs BA

    I’m still trying to get over a cancelled BA flight in 1986..someone help.

  If this isnt an example of bringing the legal profession into disrepute I don’t know what is!
