My trip was canceled by BA on 20-12-2018 and after several correspondence they decided to reimburse me 256 pounds, after a year no payment has been made to date ???? I contacted the BA agents who took charge of my case again, no response from them? It is really disappointing that an airline worthy of the name ignores these customers for not responding to the promise or even for not responding to an email !!!!

It says they were sending you a cheque. If you haven’t received it then either follow it up or raise a case with CEDR.

If it is compensation you are after then unlikely you will get any, as drone activity would almost certainly be classed as extraordinary circumstances.

The last answer of BA (see below)
Dear Mr Sofiane
Thanks for coming back to us.
I’d like to inform you that we are investigating your case with our Payments team. In the mean while, I’d request you to send us the bank details of your brother’s account along with a duly signed letter from you authorising him to accept payment on your behalf. You can send us the letter using the following address:

I inform you that i sent the bank détails as requested and i don’t received any thing.

[SimonS1]

OK, but when was that? And what have you done to follow it up?

[sofiane]

see below the confirmation message from British Airways to have received the bank details, and to follow up I sent several messages to BA agents with whom I corresponded but unfortunately they did not respond to my email, then I have decide to contact you on this link to take my problem seriously.

Well if they are not responding to emails I would submit a complaint to CEDR (arbitration). It’s free and can be done online.

When you say “I have decide to contact you on this link to take my problem seriously” please bear in mind this is an internet board, it is nothing to do with BA and we can’t resolve your issue….

Issue summons in the Small Claims Court. You need to send them a letter before action before doing so, in which you specify the amount owed to you, and the reason you believe it is owed to you.

I think the process is valid as the cause for action took place in the UK, even if you don’t live there. You may need a UK address for return of papers.

Hello
I think that it will be better if you Would like submit a complaint to CEDR (arbitration)
Best regards

Good luck.

[MartynSinclair]

I think you will need way more than ‘good luck’ for CEDR to be of benefit in this case….

Let me tell you,these days not many airlines if any are any good when it comes to handle CS complaints and refunds etc.
Their motto is : pay,fly ,and shut up.
Welcome to this new Aviation world.
It won’t change,if anything,will get much worse.
