Accident claim tout legal charges

[newton]

How does one deal with an accident claim tout that failed to deal with a claim effectively then passed the details onto a solicitor who was then taken over by another firm of solicitors who then passed the claim onto another firm of solicitors

 

Its the final firm of solicitors chasing up a client and i need to find out how to get the full details with a subject access or CCA of the original complaint which i have been explained was originally on a no win no fee promise

 

I dont want to leave it for them because ineveitably it will lead to court proceedings and potentially being found in the solicitors favour

This isn't anything to do with supplying credit so the Consumer Credit Act (CCA) won't be relevant.

 

You write to the solicitors or claims tout as appropriate requesting all the information they hold about you under the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. There is a statutory fee of £10.

It is a good idea to list explicitly those items that you particularly want such as the original agreement, memoranda, filenotes, notices, correspondence, telephone etc. Think of everything you might find useful and include it specifically on the list. Then add on a 'catchall' clause for 'any other information or records'.

 

There is a template letter in the templates library here but it isn't particularly relevant for your situation because it is intended for use in obtaining statements from a bank (a major part of CAG's raison d'etre is for guiding members in reclaiming bank charges). But you could adapt it as appropriate.
