How long did it take for them to get back to you?

Week and a half all in. I’m guessing they are quite busy, so that’s maybe not so bad!

They did indeed - I’ve reported it

Had a response within a couple of hours (separate to the autoresponse).

It was very generic, didn’t answer whether I had been affected or not, then requested information that I had already provided.

High hopes…

This one?

That’s what I initially got too. I just emailed to ask if they can confirm if I’m affected or not, yet still got that.

I hoped by telling you the info they asked for you might get a better and quicker response :laughing: apparently not…

That’s the one!

Never underestimate the ability of the bureaucratic machine to ignore common sense.

So… whats the chances of rinsing a few pennies out the MOD with this… seen a few group action suits spinning up.

Any legal begals got a view?

The guy who runs FYB also runs a claims company called Claims Bible. They’ve already stated taking names from people wanting to get involved with their suit.

Alfie probably had an accident in his underwear (to be PG-13 safe…) when he first heard about this.

Why do they want a non-MOD email? Apart from anything else, that’s another piece of personal data for them to lose…

Ambulance chasing class actions like this don’t tend to get very far

I dunno people at work had a decent payout against our Federation and against the Government in a pension challenge (the government for changing it and the Fed for not effectively fighting it).
