Any good CF comeuppance tales?

As i'm currently going through the most mind-blowing CF situation, and waiting for the courts to open a case against them, please can you point me in the direction to the best CF threads where they got their comeuppance. This will hopefully give me some reassurance that CFs don't always get away with it!

@lolliplop good luck with it. I have no experience of the Spanish legal system, but know from bitter experience how difficult the German system can be (and this was just recovering money owed, with none of the emotional things you are dealing with too). So fingers crossed for your next thread…

Its not comeuppance but current situation going on. I went away with a group to see a theatre show in London and we booked an air bnb.

One of the group has left an expensive watch in the air bnb and noticed before we left London. Made no attempt to go back and get it

Now we are home he wants the air bnb owner to post the item back to him. The air bnb owner isn't being very helpful and he is threatening to report him to the police for theft.

Still hasn't made any attempt to go to the air bnb and physically collect this item by the way

You could say that about anything though. If you’re a customer of a company; for treatment on the NHS; essentially anything which you contribute towards.

It’s a twatty thing to say and makes the sayer look like a complete arsehole.

I’ve had similar at work, for a private company. Customer is a customer demanding something he couldn’t have and when told no he said “I own you.” Err no you don’t.

That's not really the same, is it?

Not a personal experience, but one I remember from the Covid era.

I think small business were paid furlough (that might not be the right term...) based on their last self-assessed tax statement.

There were several stories on this line...a tradesman had claimed on his last statement that his annual income was only 16K, so he got very little compensation! He was incensed but could do nothing about it. Naughty...none of us like paying our taxes but we all need to. I've never had any choice!

Friend was carved up in her estate car by a middle aged man-racer who then forced her to stop, came and, puce-faced, screamed at her through the window.

What he hadn’t realised was that lying in the back of her estate car, having a quiet snooze, was her 11 stone, black Newfoundland dog*, who promptly sat up and uttered his best, threatening, baritone, WOOF!

She didn’t see the bloke for dust!
*Appropriately he was called Hero.
