No, they said they put it up but it got damage so they took it down again. Which they did not and it now have gone 5 months and still no advert so I do not want it.
Sorry if I'm missing the point but you seem to be saying that they did run the ad?

The advert was for a 24 months, they say they put it up for less than a week.


Which they did not do.
Ok.

But they now accept that it did not run full term?

Are you happy to sue them?

yes if I can claim my cost as well


 

Thanks.

You can claim your costs but they would be very minimal. This is a small claims court sum so the costs would be fixed.

There is really no other option here though. On anybody's account the advert did not run properly. I'm not sure on what basis they think they can keep the money in those circumstances. Sometimes companies do just ignore a complain in the hope that it will go away so that might be it.

You can issue here

But its a good idea to send them a letter before action warning them of your intention to sue within 28 days if they do not pay. Maybe they will. Maybe not but its worth an effort for the price of a stamp.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information.
