Your claim can be a valid one but there isn't 100% guarantee that you will win because it depends on various factors as I've mentioned like how well you prepare your case and evidence. But as Atticus has said, that is possibly one way they might settle although saying that a claim is 100% valid and cannot be defendant at all is somewhat subjective.
Quite often, it comes down to commercial viability i.e. whether the cost of defending worth it over the cost of settlement. If the claim is valued at £300 but the cost of instructing lawyers from beginning to end is going to end up being £5,000 then any sensible company will probably settle the issue. However, I have seen other large corporates that are willing to go the distance (Currys being one example) and take their chances, especially if they have their own in-house legal team.
You can't predict the outcome so you have to take a chance. If you are confident there is a good chance of success, then take the risk and see what happens. Worst case, you may be out of pocket a few hundred quid.If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you

Hello,
I have successfully sued Amazon Services Europe S.A.RL. The company vigorously defends itself in pre-action correspondence, but as soon as I submitted my case, they just sent a paperwork asking for all evidence which I have and once I provided it, they voluntarily lost the case and then we negotiated a settlement. They did not submit a defense. Actually, they were doing everything to avoid a single court hearing. Amazon doesn’t want any precedent in which they are being sued. They don’t want others to look up cases involving Amazon and court decisions. I think that unless you have a really vexatious case, then they will want to settle once you submit the case.
