Customer complaints flooding in: 5-Star Buccament Bay Resort reportedly turning in to a holiday from hell!
Our Group Action Lawyers have received complaints about the supposed five-star Caribbean resort known as The Buccament Bay Resort, which is run, we believe, by Harlequin Hotels & Resorts.
Reports are coming in that the resort is apparently so underfunded that staff haven’t been paid for months, and basic services and utilities are not even available; let alone anything near a 5-Star experience being offered.
If you’ve been affected by these issues at the resort, please don’t hesitate to contact us as we’ve launched investigations for compensation claims for victims.

“Is the iPhone 7 going to be the next Samsung Galaxy Note 7?” – Apple investigating claim of an iPhone 7 bursting into flames
Following the mass recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which turned out to be susceptible to explosions and fires, Apple may well have enjoyed a competitive advantage off the back of one of their main rivals as Samsung’s sales plummeted and costs to fix their mistake run in to the billions.

“Refund for the explosive Galaxy Note 7” – Following the ban of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on U.S. airplanes, Samsung is offering exchange or refund on the ‘explosive’ devices
You may have heard about the ‘explosive’ devices; A.K.A. the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phones.

“Good Riddance” – The ban on VW’s diesel vehicle sales in the U.S.
The ban on selling any 2017 diesel vehicles in the U.S., or any diesel vehicles, could be the biggest punishment that VW will have to face from their stunt of cheating emissions tests, which was revealed in September last year.
This could even supersede the millions of dollars in fines that they have to pay out.
The reason why I’m of that opinion is because the diesel vehicles sold in the U.S. made up a big percentage of all VW sales; which is not surprising as the German manufacturer marketed the cars to be “eco-friendly” and “greener” than other vehicles, and they cornered the diesel market well.
However, their “green assertions” turned out to be somewhat misleading…

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 causes evacuation at Louisville Airport due to battery safety concerns
As you’re probably aware, Samsung are having a real nightmare in terms of their Galaxy Note 7 and its tenancy to suddenly set fire to itself…
In one recent incident off the back of this ongoing issue, a supposedly safe device starting ‘smoking’ at Louisville Airport when the owner tried to power off the phone on take-off at an airport. This caused a big disruption to the outbound flight and led to an evacuation.
Of course, the bigger concern is that the faulty product could have caused a serious incident had this have happened during the flight!
