Evening,

I'm unfortunately another one of those people who got involved with Carpenters solicitors before seeing the posts on here about them

Was put through to them after a car accident that wasn't my fault after suffering a few bruises and a bit of a sore neck, decided a week later it wasn't worth pursuing for a personal injury claim as the bruises had almost gone and my health was back to normal,

got my case for personal injury claim closed by them on the phone but now dreading them sending a huge bill through for their costs as I didn't have legal costs as part of my car insurance policy at the time, bit of a painful lesson on the way I'm guessing. Like a few other on here I did email them on a few matters but yet to receive a response.

Keep us informed about this

Will do – if anyone who's had similar experience can suggest or help it'd be much appreciated of course!

Might be better if one of the mods could switch this post to the car insurance forum maybe as it's more relevant there?

Thread moved.

Doubtful you will get anything, the costs will just be case development costs. The only time they will pursue you for this is if you have tried it on and got them to be involved, even then they'd have to prove that you duped their professional assessment.

Having the legal expenses just means which route they will take the funding, i.e. through the funding or get you to sign a no win no fee.

....but as mentioned above, do let the board know if anything happens.

You'll be fine.

There's a 14 day cooling off period anyway.

I used to work for Carpenters. When you tell them to close your case, the system then allows for a No Fee notice to be raised. The line manager signs it off and the file is closed with No Fee.

Thanks to all for the above replies, didn't get a notification through so apologies for the delay in responding, os far nothing from Carpenters, the small matter of hire car charges but that's a different thread*– thanks again all.
