Re: Crystals Capital One Problem

Hi all I am hoping for a little guidance regarding a section 75 claim following on from Watchdog 19/04/12 where they said PIP implants were claims under section 75.

(Please can I also say my procedure was done on medical not for cosmetic reasons so please do not judge me on this I know its not everyone cup of tea but was a last resort for me)

Ok so if I give you an idea of whats happened maybe it will help in giving me the guidance I need to make the claim.

In 2007 i searched hi an low went for consultation after consultation and all saying the same but with lots of varying prices, I had lost all tissue and a great deal of weight and needed 2 part correction uplift and implants.

I was then recommended a site that specialises in going abroad and finally got fixed up going within the EU to Budapest in Nov 2007 for this surgery. I did however pay a £250 deposit to hold the date for surgery there on my Capital one card.
but it wasnt a complete start to finish package I seperatley had 2 flights a hotel room for 2 and a few other small expenses to pay for along with the surgery less the deposit, some tests i needed doing before surgery. food and taxis for post op check ups and airport transfers.
surgery was over I was back home and noticed that all was not correct so ended up having to fly back out in the following march for adjustment under local anesthetic. This put on more costs ie flights accomodation taxis food etc.
Move forward to 2012 the PIP implants scare hit the news so I dug out all my paperwork to find out i actually have had PIP implants inserted. Jumped on to the phone and emailed the UK website that dealt with sending people abroad told them I had PIP inside me and what can be done. They then contacted there representative in Budapest who laised with the surgeon who inturn got back to them and he has agreed to remove them at reduced cost and a full procedure just like the 1st one would be needed and this is another 2990 euros plus tests taxis airfairs accommodation and meals (i take someone with me each time as dont relish the thought of being out there and something go wrong and being alone)
So far I have not been asked to pay a deposit this time.

So given that brief can someone please guide me as to what exactly of all these expenses i have had to incure can I actually submit as part of a section 75 claim.

I really wish I had have had the 7k they wanted in the UK atthe time for me to have stayed here and had the surgery but that was way off my mark at the time. But it would have been a cheaper option in the long run now I am faced with a 3rd trip to get this sorted again and praying it is definately the last.
