Air France

Hi,

 

I am trying to find the legal name for Air France in the UK and their service address for a claim form.

 

Anybody have any clue?

 

Thanks!

Have you gone through the pre court action protocols first before issuing a claim? I ask because if you havent done everything correctly, their lawyers will chew you up.

I have sent them several pieces of correspondence via e-mail and all online methods without success. I don't have a service address to send them a final letter before legal action. If I had such an address then I could comply with the pre-action protocol. I have however detailed my claim by fax and e-mail.

Well then you haven't complied

Thanks! That's what I need to comply.

 

And actually at the time of writing I had technically complied. I had written to all addresses I had for them - e-mail and fax - which is an acceptable form of service. However I will also post.

I would think that if you were threatening a court claim, it would need to be a letter before action to a UK postal address.

Yup under Legal Notices on their website it states the Address for Service is as posted by silverfox1961 in post#5

Just make sure you have everything in order before you issue the LBA and then follow up with the claim. Like i said. One mistake and theyll pounce. Then you could end up paying their pretty hefty costs.

I can only second the others here, they insist on the point for your interest only. Although the "letter before action" might not frighten them and make them change their response, you should always send one. Also, it will be the first written letter from what I understand. Although a LBA is normally brief, you can also add references to any other form of previous correspondance.

I hope you will solve your issue.

Alternatively, claims can also be emailed. we did once although no compensation was received. booking with them to Seychelles we almost decided not to deal with them again. They did not have a through flight to seychelles. we were transferred to air seychelles and this info was hidden from us until we started our holiday. However they have been able to reinstate our trust in them by offering us v good service on later two occasions.
