Hi everyone, i've been a reader of the forums for a while and not being knowledgeable enough to help most others, never registered.

 

Strange one this and possibly in the wrong forum but here goes ...

 

In July 2012 i was stopped for speeding, in contested it and had my day in court in March 2013, though I engaged the services of a motoring lawyer. The CPS presented no evidence, as given the circumstances of the allegation they couldn't possibly have any! I had traveled from Glasgow to Preston and a local traffic bobby didn't even turn up!

 

So the case was dismissed. I was awarded a Defence Costs Order so that i could reclaim some of my expenses. Fast forward to today and i'm still chasing my lawyer for costs. I have no idea if they have even put in a claim to National Taxing Team (though I have an email from March 2013 saying they have), and despite phone calls and recorded delivery letters i feel i'm being strung along with "i'll call you back" and "can you give us more details" all information they should already have about me and the case!

 

I suppose my question is how do i get this firm to tell me whats going on, who do i speak to about firing off some threatening letters or who could i engage to start the process of suing this solicitor for information and/or monies due to me!?

They have taken all my details and mentioned exactly what you said; That a final response is required. I have detailed letters and dates/times of everything so in the end the adviser filed a complaint and will be in contact with the firm who will have 2 weeks to respond.

Just a wee update:

 

Legal ombudsman accepted my complaint and gave the solicitor firm time to respond, which it seems they have not done so. My complaint is being upheld and investigated and I've been asked to allow 10 working days for a legal ombudsman investigator to get in touch with me.

 

Today is the 10th working day so i'm hoping to hear from them this week.

 

Kind Regards,

-Paul
