Hi Bought a new car from a franchised dealer recently, 3 faults become apparent very quickly Within 10 days they are advising the car needs taking apart so we reject the vehicle under sale of goods act and ask for a refund. They refuse. We now need a solicitor to advise but don't really want to go through with county court etc due to solicitor costs. (car cost 20k so won't go to small claims court) Any recommendations for some professional help ????? Thanks

I've been renting my home for 6 years. Over the past months I've accrued rent arrears for the first time ever due to serious illness. The arrears are at 12 weeks. The landlord has served a Section 8 notice giving the grounds of 2 months or more arrears. I've now received a Possession Order claim form from the court giving me a hearing date. On the same date of the hearing I've got an appointment with a Consultant at the hospital which i had to wait 7 months on the waiting list to get. If I go to the hearing I will have to miss my hospital appointment and wait another 7 months or so to get a new appointment. By the hearing date I will have reduced my arrears to below 2 months but I still think it is important that I attend the hearing in person to try to defend myself. My question is can I apply to the court, sending my appointment letter from the hospital as proof, and ask them to consider adjourning the hearing date to an alternate date?

Lombard Direct obtained a decree on a loan and were awarded 8% interest on the loan and £400 court costs in 2008. Anderson Strathern began collection of the debt, Lombard sent correspondence asking me to make payments to Arden Credit Management and not to deal with Anderson Strathern at all. I followed this instruction and then received email, letters threatening further action and then sheriff officers at my door re the collection, after phoning Lombard and being told they weren't discussing my case (i have the date, & time i spoke to them) and being totally freaked out that the sheriff officers were talking to my neighbours and Lombard's attitude i started paying Anderson again as it was the only way to get them off my back as apparently Lombard had given them instructions to do what they decided to debtors and made a complaint to them about the sheriff officers. They contacted Lombard and asked if this was true!! Sorry long story but i have now discovered it isn't £400 court costs but it has grown into 2.5k of legal debt, they will not give me a breakdown telling em i have to get that from Lombard as i am not their client and Lombard refer me to the debt management company IDEM who obviously have no idea of what i am asking for. What can i do and are Lombard allowed to charge me for what appears to be a contract between them and Anderson Stratheron and i am the piggie in the middle with ever accruing legal fees. I checked the court documents and it makes no mention of legal fees apart from the court costs of £400 Maria

I have been paying a loan off through attachment of earnings from start of 2010, i have been paying a 100 pounds month which comes out of my wages, i have rang the solicitor this morning and asked how much their charges where etc, they are going to ring me back, but i think their charges on top of what i owed hfc was around 1000 pounds, this actually went to court before, its not a ccj, but the loan originally was 95 pounds a month for 5 years, the judge originally said i had to pay 150 pounds a month, i stated that the original payments where only 90 so he agreed a 100 pounds, i did not have a solicitor with me because i could not afford it at the time, wish i did though. .. is there anyway legally i can get the charges knocked off?? maybe a silly question

Hi Guys, I recently defaulted on car insurance payments when my car broke down and I could afford to repair it and pay for my insurance, the insurance was subsequently cancelled and I requested proof of my no claims as it was my 2nd year with this insurer and I had earned it the year previous. I was advised that they could not supply proof until I had settled the outstanding balance of £175.00. I received a letter shortly afterward from Incasso LLP a debt collection solicitor, using their online payment system as suggested in their letter I made a payment of around £60 to them, about a week later I telephoned them asking them to confirm the balance so I could pay the remainder and then request my proof of no claims again. They said they did not recognise the reference I gave them or any of my details and did not have an account associated with me... I asked them why they had taken a payment and where it had gone and they couldn't answer me and told me to phone back in a week and they might have found my paperwork. I contacted my insurer and they agreed to take the payment in full and send out my documents, now I would like my money back from Incasso. I contacted the financial ombudsman and they advised me that as this company is a solicitor it is out of their jurisdiction and I should contact the legal ombudsman, I did and they said they can only investigate if I was the client that instructed the solicitor to act so they couldn't help me. It's only £60 I know but on principle I dont want Incasso to legally be allowed to steal from me, what can I do? Thanks

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, I apologise for the length, but I would like some advice if someone could help. According to an original English Will made before 2000, I am the main beneficiary of an estate in this country and have been involved in a case involving English and European jurisdiction, for more than twelve years. When they died, a year after the Will was made, it was challenged in Court by an uncertified hand written Will, written days before their death, in their country of origin and was discovered in a hospice on their deathbed. It was eventually found to meet requirements of their country’s law and leaves the whole of the estate both in England and abroad to a foreign beneficiary. The English Court originally recognized the English Will as valid ten years ago, but our opponent made an order to block the probate, disallowing the estate to be distributed without an opportunity to present the hand-written Will in the court abroad. Two years ago, the foreign Court eventually decided the hand written Will was valid, leaving the whole estate to our opponent and citing them as a legatee; however the judgment also states that the foreign Will does not revoke previous wills, that the English Will is valid and the foreign court therefore does not claim the right to distribute the English assets. When this dispute with litigation began more than ten years ago, the executor of the estate who is also a beneficiary; employed a firm I will call UKS with whom us English beneficiaries signed a no-win, no-fee cost agreement in costs proportionate to the value of the estate. As the main beneficiary I will be responsible for three-quarters of the costs if the English Will is upheld. The executor’s post has since been passed on to a separate solicitor’s firm who now acts impartially. Two solicitors from UKS: Mr Mann and Miss Lilly (not their real names), were allocated our case, and employed other foreign solicitors in the Court abroad on our behalf. We were told by UKS that once a decision was made abroad, we would go to court in England, to determine how the English assets would be distributed. Since the foreign Court decision less than two years ago however, I have heard nothing from UKS about court action, although it was assumed they were waiting for the foreign appeals to be finalized. Our opponent has since lodged their own appeal in the foreign Court because of dissatisfaction with the Court’s decision. Mr Mann emailed me independently in 2012, offering me a visit at his new office, as he now works for another firm I will call Sharpe’s, while Miss Lilly is still a partner at UKS. Mr Mann offered to take the case to Court in England, as I have a strong chance of success of obtaining my inheritance for reasons which he explained. Mr Mann however, said he will only act for me on a partial no-win, no-fee, part payment basis, for his fee and that of a barrister. He also emailed to say that UKS are still in possession of our legal documents, and that he will want them to proceed. He suggested that UKS would likely be willing to supply any documents he requires easily in exchange for their “security of costs” should my outcome be successful. I have made it clear that I only have limited funds to pay, and did not understand why UKS was not representing me anymore. I had never cancelled my agreement, and had not been sent any correspondence from them terminating our costs agreement. I telephoned UKS to be told by Miss Lilly, that the company was under new management, they could no longer represent us English beneficiaries as we are a “high-risk” case. I was also told that I have no right to ask for access to documents, and that only the former executor is able to do so as their original employer. This is very confusing as they has long since resigned from this post and explicitly stated they no further involvement. I asked UKS for written confirmation that they are terminating their previous agreement, and was sent a vague letter from their new management confirming that they cannot take our case. The situation has complicated further, Mr Mann has been putting pressure on me to sign into his CFA agreement, which will include part-payment, part no-win no-fee, and a success fee. He says that due to changes in the Law as of April 2013, the agreement must be signed by the end of this March, yet he has sent it recently, giving me only two-weeks to read through and understand its terms and conditions. He also said in an email that UKS have the right to hold on to our documents until they receive payment, and that I must secure payment of costs to UKS if he is to access the documents. Firstly I don’t understand how I can secure costs with UKS to access documents when they have explicitly told me that I have no right to ask for documents, as I am not their original employer. Secondly; our fees with UKS, for all their services, total up to nearly £85,000, and this may or may not include almost a £30,000 fee for a solicitor employed by them who lost our case in the foreign court (Mr Mann says we will owe him if we win, Miss Lilly says we do not). I can only assume UKS want confirmation I will pay these fees if Mr Mann wins in the English Court, they have not asked for any confirmation, it is only Mr Mann who has said about securing costs, even though he no longer works for them. The original no-win no-fee cost agreement with UKS stated clearly that if we decided to cancel their services, we would pay all agreed costs till the point of cancellation; however, they have implicitly terminated their agreement with us quoting reasons of “change in management” and “company policy” Am I obliged to confirm I will pay all of these fees, as if they had continued and won the case? Do they have the right to hold on to all these documents and refuse to release them unless I agree to pay whatever fees they ask? Of course it is only fair that UKS should be paid for their time if I am successful, but asking for all the fees in their entirety seems unreasonable, especially considering I did not employ them, was not allowed to suggest any alternative representation at the start of the case, and am unhappy at how they have lost in Court twice to our opponent, yet allowed this case to drag more than ten years before cancelling the agreement and not telling me. I am tempted to sign this CFA agreement with Mr Mann, as in spite of his lack of expertise in Inheritance disputes, and that he has not been successful in the past, he knows the case, presents what looks like a solid argument, and is prepared to finally settle the matter quickly which would be ideal, however, I don’t know what this could tie me into with UKS as I have no idea what a “historically” valued costs agreement is (as Mr Mann called it), and am apprehensive about signing with him, as being a former partner of UKS he also stands to benefit from me “securing my costs” with their firm. Does anybody have any general advice on what to do? I would be very interested to hear what people think.

Hi there, I am messaging on behalf of my friend. He is an international student here, and his landlady has basically attempted to do two false claims against him; a false Section 8 case which started in July 2012 (which is going to trial), and a section 21 case she started in October 2012. In January, the courts were confused about why two claims had been started so called for a hearing to understand the situation for both cases. Eventually the 21 case wass struck out,because she did not provide relevant info to him or put his deposit in the deposit scheme on time, and the 8 was decided to go to trial, because my friend has put in a counterclaim and defence due to harassment and bills appearing in his name. shortly after the courts decision, the landlady has yet again filed a section 21 claim against my friend.. It is a verrrrry long story, and basically they're looking to go to trial, so witness statements are being drafted up and there's a pretrial hearing in April. My question is basically, is there any way for him to get free legal aid here? He was granted some for a hearing back in october from Shelter, but they then stopped the funding and are saying they cannot fund him anymore. Is anyone able to represent him/work on his behalf to help? thanks

can i assign an overage clause to a third party?

My mum sadly passed away in October and my Dad as Executor needs to sort out Probate. Dad is 88 and has never had to do anything like this before. I therefore suggested that we speak to the Solicitor who drew up their will 8 years ago to see how much it would cost for him to do it. I duly made the appointment and we attended a meeting with him before Christmas. The Solicitor who had drawn up the original will has since died, so one of the other partners dealt with our inquiry. In total the meeting took 90mins and it wasn't until the end the 90mins the Solicitor advised how much it would cost for him to deal with Probate (approx £3500). I nearly fell off my chair and asked him how much he charged per hour and he advised £210 + Vat.. Dad pretty much told him there and then that there was no way he could afford that so we would probably have to do it ourselves. Dad suggested that we would probably get a bill from him for his time for that meeting, I thought we wouldn't because we had gone there for a quote which I didn't think would be chargeable. I was wrong....Dad was right and he received a bill a couple of weeks ago for £378 including VAT. Dad wanted to pay it (despite the fact that he's struggling on a pension), because he doesn't want any ill feeling and this Practice still has the original Will which we need. Myself and the rest of the family suggested that he shouldn't pay and he eventually, reluctantly agreed. I duly dropped in a letter to the Practice last week advising that we were surprised to receive a bill. The reply that has since come back from the Solicitor is very emotive, quite curt and uses an analogy along the lines of: - if you went along to a dentist for an examination, why would you expect not to pay?? I thought we were going to get a quote for his services. If I called in a builder to give me a quote for a new extension, I wouldn't be charged for his time to visit the site compile the quote etc so what is the difference?? If I go to a dentist for an examination, I know I am going to be charged because I know I'm receiving treatment. At no time were we ever advised that we would be charged for the time we were in his office and we weren't advised of his hourly rate until the end of the meeting. As Dad has also pointed out, if he pays the bill, approx £30 of it was time spent when the Solicitor chatted about his lovely family!!! There is also a note on the invoice about late payments being charged 8% interest which is a bit scary. Any payment Dad does make is obviously late now. So, my questions to anyone who may be able to advise are:- 1) Is this bill payable (bearing in mind we were never told that we were being charged for his time or were advised his hourly rate until the end of the meeting) 2) If Dad does have to pay it, is the 8% liable even though he has disputed it within their time scales. Dad and I both feel that the 90 minutes we spent in his office was excessive. I agree we gained some interesting information about dealing with Probate but we never asked for it and would happily have done without it had we known that every minute we were there talking/listening was costing £4.20!!!! I'm in unknown territory here so any advice or information would be very gratefully received. Are we being naive thinking we shouldn't be charged?? If he has to pay it, then so be it, but the rest of us think the Solicitor is acting very unprofessionally. Thank you for reading my post.

Hi all, first post of many, I hope we can all help each other to make life a little better. My problem is i had a lazy solicitor acting for me who acted on his own volition which was not favorable to the outcome of my situation, in short it cost me a bucket load of money and i've been to stressed out to deal with the situation.To start i did write at the time to the firm to make my complaint clear which was 2years ago now, my question is ,does the 6 year rule apply to taking action against a solicitor for negligence.thank you any help .

I've been looking at miss sold mortgages do most people go to a firm with no win no fee or go to a solicitor or DIY themselve? I first purchased my property from my local council through my bank on a right to buy. I took out a loan with my present company secured on the property 6 months later this same company sent out with regards remortgages by letter. They offered a self certified mortgage with a fixed rate for 3 years,consolidated some loans and released money for home improvements,It had early redemption figures added to it if I sold my property within 3 years.It has a redemption fee of 250.00 if the house is sold.Added into it is the completion fee as well as the Legal Fee. On the application only loans/credit cards show as any financial status no household out goings.On the mortgage illustration and offer it states that 'The terms of this mortgage reflect past or present financial difficulties'. They sent out letters stating that they might of miss sold the mortgage.Then later on they seemed to want people to move their mortgages to their Business Partner.They stopped lending sometime later which they never told me about so when I had difficulties they couldn't offer me anything else. I'm tied in by the interest rates which are linked to the Libor rates which are 9.44%.They'll never go down only up.The mortgage also goes past the retirement age.

A family member is in need of the above but i have no idea how i would go about finding one. Ive been warned away from any no win no fee outfits. Many thanks for any help offered.

My Situation: I wanted to be a part time motor trader so I started a business registered with hmrc and got some motor trade insurance. I sold my car for the capital and bought a cheaper car to run around in off ebay. It turns out that this car has outstanding finance when I did a HPi check. I didn't do the check before I bought the vehicle as the advert said it was HPi clear. I contacted the finance company (Black Horse)stated on the HPi check and they informed me that they do hold title of the car due to there being outstanding finance on the vehicle. They asked me to fill in a questionaire to determine whether or not I was an innocent purchaser. I filled out the questionaire honestly. There was a question on there asking if I had anything to do with the motor trade and I said YES. I then received a letter saying that due to me being involved in the motor trade I was not an innocent purchaser and I should have known. After some time I then received a letter from the finance company saying they want £3600 or they will repossess the car in 14 days. I called them up again and explained the situation and it turns out they had lost all of the info I had given them and I would need to fill out another questionaire which they will send out to me in the post. This never came. I called up 3 more times and each time the questionanire never came. I then called and asked for more information and asked to speak to the legal department. The telephone operator said I could not speak them but he will do for me in which the reply was "I was not an interest to them and that the car would not be repossessed and will stay in my possession. They are currently persuing payment from the person named on the hire purchase agreement". Although this eases my mind that the car will not be snatched back and that I don't have to pay anything the car still belongs to the finance company and is still registered on the HPi database until the person I bought the car off pays his debt. I believe that this person has not paid anything off of the original debt and it is possible that he never will. Should I hire a solicitor to see if I can get anywhere with this? Would a solicitor be able to do anything about this? Or I am just doomed to keep hold of this car forever? I would be grateful to hear anyones stories or advice that they have to offer. Thanks Matt

The background to the problem: due to age discrimination, bullying, lack of meeting safety requirements and more caused and aggravated injuries to my mother, an employee at a large High Street Bank. Consequently, she needed surgery last year from which she is yet to fully recover. Because of the period of Sickness Absence taken she has had to apply for disability retirement because of this Work Related Upper Limb Disorder. She suffered injuries to her tendons in both hands and her back from working as a bank teller in a high street branch. She was an employee with the bank for over 12 years. There is so much more but I will spare you the details right now. I was looking for help in finding a solicitor to help us make a claim against her employer. The difficulty I have had is finding a decent and knowledgeable firm that can seriously tackle both the employment law and injury law aspects. The market seems to be saturated with "no win, no fee" accident injury claim solicitors, though I'm worried that most are not good enough to tackle a complicated case such as this. Please if someone could spare some time to help us in this matter. Thanks for reading.

In brief: Case lost on no win no fee basis. Concluded Aug 2011. May 2012, Sol requests counsel`s fees. Sol is aware that, as a result of a court imposed installment order, i am paying over and above my I/E assessment. I explain that there is no disposable income available. I request that the fees be put on hold or written off if posssible. Failing that, I can only offer a £1 a week. I have repeatedly requested counsel`s attendance notes, as i was unhappy with representation. I was repeatedly informed that counsel would not supply them! Two barristers were involved. One made two lenghty court appearances (a), the other (b) a brief appearance at the county court. Yet (a) bill is nearly half that of (b). I had heard nothing until yesterday. I received a letter from sol dated 15/11/12 requesting i set up a direct debit for payment and agree to a Charge Order on my home. I have 14 days to reply, else legal proceedings will ensue. Can anyone offer some advice on how to proceed. Thanks.

I brought a house approx 10 years ago and used the services of a local solicitor. I am now in the process of trying to sell my property but a couple of issues have delayed the sale. I remember reading in the local newspaper around five or six years ago that the solicitor who dealt with the sale of my property had left the company, I seem to recall the solicitor left "under a bit of a cloud", thus the reason for the newspaper article. Is there any way I can find out if that solicitor was "struck off" from practising? I`ve checked the local newspaper search facility to try and find the report without success. I`ve entered the names concerned into a search engine again without success. Would appreciate any help and advice on the subject. Many thanks in advance.

Good Afternoon I currently owe Veolia Water(Three Valleys) around £500 and today received a letter from P.W. Moody Solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths threatening court action. If the balance isn't repaid within 5 working days they will be processing a court claim. I have looked into P.W Moody online and it appears they aren't even solicitors. Has anyone dealt with this company before or know if they are what they are presenting themselves to be? Thank you!!

Hi all, Last year I attended court for my divorce hearing, the outcome was against me and a some of monies totally almost eleven thousand pounds was awarded to my ex-partner. The court gave me twenty one days to pay the full amount, however it took her solicitor five weeks to contact me. Within fifteen minutes i was at their office presenting a cheque for the full amount, which was transferred into their account two days later. ( I have the receipt and bank statement to prove this). In January,February, and March I received letters from her solicitors saying they were going go :mad2:back to court to get an application (legal aided) to enforce the order and that they would aslo get extra costs/interest payments fees from me as i had not complied with the court order. I duly ignored these letters (but kept them safe) as I had complied with the order in full at the earliest date, thinking that they would eventually wake up and realise that i had payed and within the time limit, especially since the person responsible for writing ALL the letters to me was the same person who signed the receipt for the monies last year. On the sixteen August I received a letter from them saying that they had been back to court and that the order had been approved by the judge. the letter itself said that an amount of the monies totalling £2500 was to be used to pay off a joint loan between myself and my ex, this in incorrect. It was to pay off a joint account (which the judge had stated had to be paid within fourteen days of receipt of monies by my ex). Also stated was that after looking into the order there would be a further £363.01 to be paid by me but they did not explain why, along with a warning that if they did not hear from me within seven days, they would go back to court again and further costs will acrue. They have stated eventually, that they have received the money but fail to give the date this happed, so it looks like i have just settled. I have written to the judge stating that i did not receive notification of the case therefore i could not attend, while also stating the above. I am waiting to hear if he will set the judgement aside. i have also initiated a complaint against her solicitor with the SRA who have said they are looking into it but also state they cannot award costs/damages etc if found proven. Can I .... claim against them for with holding the money for ten months, costs damages etc and how do ,i do it on a budget. I cant go to legal aid as i am in dispute with them as my own solicitor claimed the costs from them when i refused to hand over £2500 a few days before the hearing. ( i was originally on legal aid but when i got a job i told my solicitor of this (two months before the case), and the £2500 he asked for was way above and beyond what i would expect for a further days work.

CAn anyone advise pls? Sent a LBA to LL re non-protection and return of deposit and court proceedings. Heard nothing back within 14 days then receive a letter from the LL's solicitor asking me not to instigate court proceedings for a week as they'll be in a position to answer the "issues" i raised then.They threatened that if I don't comply then they'll produce the letter to the court when the issue of costs arises if not before! I thought that in the case of non-compliance with the TDS rules that I could not be liable for LL's costs? Any other pointers welcome. Thanks Bit of background. Left the property a few months ago but after the 6th May deadline for TDS compliance.

Hi, I received a letter this morning from a solicitor asking to to confirm if I am the person involved in an accident back in October 2010. They have my name and address and have me listed as a claimant along with two other names (none that I know!). I have been asked to fill out particulars of claim, including negligence of the defendant and personal injury. This to me smells like some sort of insurance [problem], but how have they got my details?? Do i contact my insurance company and get their solicitors on to them or do i contact them myself? Slightly worrying as you can imagine Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello I've been asked for advice by a couple who've been invited to an IUC. So far as I know, this is what's happened so far. They are a couple but live separately. She claims housing benefit and council tax benefit as well as DLA and IS. She lives in a council property. He claims Council tax benefit and IS Earlier this week they both received letters inviting them to separate IUCs next week. They contacted a solicitor who rang the council for pre-disclosure info. Result of this is that they have reason to believe that income has been earned but not notified. This is correct but I don't believe the couple concerned did this dishonestly or with intent to decieve - yes, I know they should have declared it so please, no comments or judgements about this, just looking to confirm a few things here. The total earnings undeclared are around £3k jointly. Council "prosecutor" told solicitor that they are assuming an overpayment of CTB for the guy at £400 - they said if he accepts this he will receive a caution, have to pay £400 back but no further action. Overpayment to the girl they say is around £5K - they will not say what will happen but if she admits the offence they will recommend a caution and she'll have to repay the £5K. Otherwise it's court. Solicitor has recommended going to the IUC and submitting a written statement admitting everything and then fingers crossed! I'm not sure this is best advice, certainly for the girl. My main question is this: If the undeclared earnings are £3k in total (less costs and expenses as it was a "self-employed" situation), split between the two parties then that's £1500 each before costs and expenses. Does this justify having to repay a £5K overpayment? It's effectively her entire HB and CTB for the last 8 months which is apparently when the earnings occurred. Should she contest it on the basis that they are requesting too large an overpayment or is it all correct under benefit rules? Can someone help me here?

I am looking for a solicitor who specialise in credit consumer act and the ICO guidelines. Must have experience in application of default notices and credit reference agency. I would prefer someone in London, Watford or surrounding areas. Thanks madtergee16

Hello I would like some advice on how to put in a complaint about a solicitor/firm. I have read related posts in here and have realised from what I have read that the solicitor has acted illegally as they have so far got two CCJ's for the same debt (I have just paid the second one as I got a warrant of execution). this is the legal bit that i found in here: 35 divison of causes of action it shall not be lawful for any plaintiff to divide any cause of action for the purpose of bringing two or more actions in one or more of the county courts. I read in another post to contact the Law Society. I have called them and was told that the legal ombudsmen now deal with complains. I in turn called them an they gave me a different number and then this number told me to go to their website (sra.org.uk). I have found a form to complete but I would like to check that this is the correct way to put in this sort of complaint as I just want the company to stop hounding me and leave me alone as I have had another letter through demanding more money (this is after paying the two CCJ's). incase more details are needed before anyone can help me this is a very old debt (way past the 6years) and so I was amazed last year when a county court letter/summons (do not know what it is called) arrived for a small percentage of the debt. I sent details to the court stating that I did not owe this money but somehow I presume the details were lost as the next thing I knew I had a CCJ for £337. I paid this in full on 22nd July 2011 and prior to this I spoke to the court who confirmed that was all I needed to pay and I would not be contacted again and the CCJ would not appear on my records - that was the bit I was most bothered about. Anyhow then this week a warrant of execution arrived from my local court for £439.25. I had no idea what this was about so I contacted the court who had done the CCJ (Once again southend on sea) and they gave me the solicitors name. I called that number and then dodgedly i was put through to all different people and numbers and suddenly I am back talking to the lady who I paid the money to in July. I had no idea what was going on but she told me this is the 2nd CCJ for the next section of money I owe to them and I need to pay it immediately to my local court. She then also started harrassing me about when will I be making more payments and then another CCJ will be done again soon. I just had no idea what was going on and I paid the warrant of execution today. I have also now had in the post details from this company which has a history print out showing the CCJ last year and the money I paid and then listing this one so i have evidence from the claimant that this is a second CCJ for one and the same debt. I am so upset as I just dont know what to do to get this company to leave me alone. Also all the phone calls and various documents all relate to the one debt but have contained a whole assortment of names (all apart from one which are based at the one address). The main address being: 5th floor, maintland house, warrior square, southend on sea. The solicitor is ELS & Cole and the various claimant names and phone conversations have been with rockwell and now the new name of arrow global ltd (when i googled them it showed as they are a company in manchester). so anyway is that form the correct way to complain about the solicitor and do i put their name on the form or the other names? also what else can i do in the interim to stop more court action and get this horrendous company to leave me alone finally. the latest letter is now demanding more money from me once I have paid the 2nd CCJ and is also asking me for copies of my driving licence and passport.

hi there i have an on going claim for an accident i had on a building site in April 2009. i have had several interim payments in the past. now my solicitor is asking me to sign a form for the next payment to be in their name, as they want to take out nearly £700, to pay for our own orthopedic surgeons report, which was done in dec 2009. am i wrong to believe that all medical reports, consultant fees, be paid by the third party.
