Hi, I had my caravan stored on what was meant to be a proper

Hi,

I had my caravan stored on what was meant to be a proper storage site near where I live. It was meant to have full security including cctv, patrols, guard dogs etc. Recently they had a break-in at the site causing damage and theft from about ten of the caravans including ours. We had damage and internal and external fittings stolen to the amount of about £2000.

The break-in was discovered late the following day by the owners, despite guard dogs and regular patrols and was then reported to the police. On my asking the owners what was found on their cctv coverage they admitted they did not have working cctv stating that a tenant operating from another business at the site had turned it off.

We let them know had we known they were not in charge of the running of their cctv and were totally reliant on someone from another unrelated business being in charge of it as well as other discrepancies in their security then we would not have stored our caravan at their facility. We told the owners we thought them responsible for the cost of damage and losses to our caravan. They then told me in no uncertain terms that I had to remove my caravan from their facility with immediate effect.

I have since written to them on two occasions stating that I think them responsible for costs and listed the cost of repairs and replaced item. I also stated if necessary I would claim through the small claims court if we could not come to settlement. They have acknowledged the two letters but are not willing to settle.

Do you think I have case. I can show with good evidence massive discrepancies in their security as well them admitting they had no working CCTV.
