I've received a demand for payment of £691.20 from the Legal Services Commission, giving me 4 days to pay.

Dated 21/2/12, received 9/3/12 (no postmark, bulk mail), payment is required by 13/3/12, it is the first communication received from them since my certificate was revoked last October.

I have several issues with this:

1. Do I have to pay a demand when no bill has been issued?

2. The matter has now been referred to their Debt Recovery Unit, yet no reasonable time has been allowed for payment.

3. The amount demanded is £125 greater than my solicitor's claim (per CLS CLAIM1A form)

4. I want to dispute the amount claimed in the CLS CLAIM1A form. An amount is claimed for 'Advocacy Costs': when my solicitor appeared for me in court (re. family matters), the judge asked her to withdraw because she had previously counselled my ex (without disclosing this to me) and my ex objected to her participation.

I therefore had to represent myself and I received no 'Advocacy'.

 

It seems to me that I am being subject to duress:-

1. Is it legal/ lawful to demand payment without a bill?

2. Is it legal/ lawful to demand payment within such short notice?

3. What redress do I have when a key element of the service to which the demand relates was not delivered?

 

How can I best resolve all this?

I have emailed the LSC but they simply refer me to their Debt Recovery Unit.
