I went back to
Mr Vegas with a question regarding the "goodwill" gesture to see if acceptance meant they would consider the matter closed and would mean I would not be able to continue with ADR.
This is their response:
"The good will payment of £380 is solely as compensation for the technical errors and long waiting time experienced, and does not restrict you from making contact with ADR.
We can however not confirm if this payment would change anything in relation to any decisions IBAS may take upon closing of your case with them."
I've sent it to IBAS to find out if it would impact anything they did and will go by IBAS decision.
However, originally MrVegas said the goodwill gesture was in relation to"the understandable inconvenience the situation has caused, and the unfortunate long waiting times you've experienced." But now they are saying due to technical issues.
They've just admitted their error haven't they?
