Response from CAA re XL collapse

My son has received a letter from the CAA regarding his claim. They have stated that as there was a single cash transaction in excess of £50 he has to complete a Statutary Declaration form which has to be signed in front of a solicitor/commisioner of oaths, they may charge a swear fee for this but the CAA will not refund this.
Has anyone else received anything similar and does anyone know what a solicitor charge for this. I suspect this is an attempt to put him off bothering to continue with his claim.
Incidently his original response from the CAA stated he needed to fill a declaration form if the claim was for more than £500 cash, so they appear to be changing their boundaries.
Would appreciate any advice on this
Thanks

  • I work in a solicitor's office and we had someone come in a few weeks ago who wanted to do a Statutory Declaration in order to get a refund re XL. This seemed quite straightforward and the solicitor concerned in this instance only charged a small fee of £5 - so I would enquire at a local solicitors as to how much they would charge - could be worth your while.
