I am taking the Express to court, and am curious if others have been successful?


Hi Marcus. I have an outstanding Med Cruise offer and the 'holding' letter from DE last August.

Please add me to your list. I am very interested in hearing the result of your Legal Action against The Daily Express. If you are successful I will certainly do the same and would appreciate any tips.

Even if you are not, can you please share the outcome and learning here, as it will help many others prepare their case.

Many thanks.

Chris

I have been watching the site with interest. I too was allocated a carribbean cruise for Sept 05, but then heard nothing. I have been writing, ringing and writing again, but had no reply from the Express team at all. I have logged my name with Watchdog. I hope something comes of the Court action, good luck

Hi jo and welcome to HT!

I have moved your post to the main DE cruise offer topic as the other one is only for those posting confirmed cruise dates.

Please add my name to any legal action that may be taken against the DE. I was allocated a cruise to South America on 10th Aug 2004 which I accepted. In Oct 2004 I received notice that the cruise would be with Costa Cruises departing on 19th Feb 2005 from Santos (Brazil). Like others I was contacted by phone at the end of Oct 2004 saying that the cruise was not available and that I would be sent vouchers. Told the handling company that this was not acceptable,however I received vouchers which i sent back by return. How the company could allocate this cruise in the first place I do'nt know as on Costa Cruise web site the cruise I was allocated did not have single cabins.
I am on the list for 2006, but after several enquiries I have not had any replies.

I am not quite sure what you mean, but I can access the topic "Who's Going Where/When" OK. Try THIS LINK If you meant something else, please post again.

Marcus was probably unaware until today that there were replies to this topic as our email notification system was down. As they are now being sent, presuming he has requested to be notified of replies, I am sure he will log on and see the latest list of would-be cruisers.

Hi again. I would also like to be added to the list. Just an idea, but could a letter template be added to this site to write to the DE. I think more people would be more likely to send a letter if they could just print off a template and fill in their relevant details...

Also, does anyone know who I should contact with a change of address. I would hate a new cruise offer to go to my old address!!!

Thanks

Jane

I have re-read your post and am now thinking that you received a notification that there had been a new post in that topic. If that is the case, then I moved the new post from there to this topic and that would explain why you couldn't find it.

Regarding a letter template, perhaps the following site may be of help http://www.howtocomplain.co.uk

I wonder how many people would consider spending a day outside the DE's office with a placard if it's not been done. I live up in Yorkshire but would be willing to take a day off and catch the train down to London. I have good contacts within ITV news if the the London regional news were persuaded to cover the story it might make the DE do something it certainly did for those people who appeared on Watchdog.
I had a cruise to Lybia offered in April 2005 and a friend had one to Canary Isles same time like most of the posters we've had the calls the vouchers which we sent back but nothing now for months despite emails and calls.

I keep remembering Judith Chalmers saying a cruise for every reader and my excitment when I got my cruise offer mmm

Redo, Mai etc etc

All that's needed for a protest outside the DE Office is someone to organise it!!!!!!

Redo - I live in Yorkshire too & would try & suport a DE protest. However, I think that we are better off waiting till we hear of the outcomes of the two members here who have legal actions against DE pending, with hearings mid February I think.

Should they get a positive result then we can commence similar proceedings with certainty of winning. With costs and fees it will cost the DE a lot more in the end, as potentially there are thousands out there still waiting. Many I expect look at this site for news. If a step by step guide to successful legal action is given here, or on a Blog, maybe the DE Board will be prompted to take pre-emptive action and agree to honour their £10 Cruise Promotion.

So I think we are at a major point now in this whole debacle - Litigants please share your news soonest :D :bow
