This thread relates to SPG Law's proposed Group Proceedings against British Airways, in respect of the Data Protection Act 2018 (which incorporates the GDPR).
There is a separate thread that relates to the actual data breaches and their implications for customers, which is to be found here: BA Investigating Theft of Personal and Financial Data

The one law firm that currently seems to be persuing a Class Action against BA is SPG. They have a specific site set up at https://www.badatabreach.com/ - please make sure you check all the FAQs and terms and conditions and make sure the Class Action is right for you before you sign up.

* SPG is now PGMBM.
* Payments are being made through Shieldpay, who are seeming to be both lethargic and/or inept.

Still waiting for that one, another couple of years I think. Can’t see VW/Audi settling out of court.

For KL customers, Shieldpay’s email came after 24 hours and we had 4 days to complete it and send it back so don’t hang around when you receive it.

I haven't either, despite sending the requested ID info back to them same day (for the second time).

I suspected the process was just taking time and it is reassuring to not be alone. As @oxtailsoup said, it'll be our turn soon.

Pleasantly surprised by my 2A settlement.

I'd be interested to know how much of the nearly £3K costs that the law firm were claiming per person they actually got.

Received my PGMBM email just before midnight so they're obviously sending out the offers in batches. Now awaiting the link for shieldpay to be sent.
