Hi All

 

I had a trip/slip over 4 years ago with the offending council admitting liability immediately. The case dragged on due to the fact that my legal team changed three or four times and a lot of time was wasted. Eventually a competent solicitor was appointed and an agreement was made to settle the claim (we were due in court on the 2nd June) on the 24th March 2017. A time frame was given of 4-6 weeks but usually much sooner than that.

 

It is now the 18th May and I have not received my money, I have called and emailed my solicitor every day this week and have had no response. He forwarded me an email from the other side stating the cheque will be with us 'very soon' over a week ago. Still nothing. I called the other sides solicitor yesterday from the information forwarded to me and he has not called me back nor acknowledged my call.

 

I am at a loss at what to do now. Why would they settle and not pay out. Any ideas where I go from here as I cannot afford to jeopardise nor delay my payment any longer. I am on the verge of missing out on a business opportunity and also a holiday that I booked on the strength of the money being with me at the end of the 6 weeks.

 

Thanks in advance

Send the solicitor a final letter that states whats happened and you require a full valid response and payment within 14 days . Then you could start legal action against the Sol and report them to the SRA.

 

Your priority now is to get a full response from them. I would also inform the SRA anyway and get a full complaint going.

 

Sadly, the holiday thing is on you. You shouldnt have booked it until the money was in your hands.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Report them (which solicitor?) to the SRA (for what misdemeanour?).

If the concern is "poor service" rather than "breach of the SRA's principles, or outcomes", then the Legal Ombudsman is a better option.

 

The LO will require you to approach your solicitor first (which you should be doing anyway before "going nuclear"!)

Just relax.

 

The money will arrive when it arrives, there will be no reason behind other than the Council being slow.

Total nonsense and pure fiction.

 

Please desist from spouting uninformed rubbish.
