Thank you for doing that for me.
I need to get my letters off by tomorrow to make sure I am in plenty of time before the hearing...any help would be very much appreciated.

Well… I asked the court for permission to obtain a copy of the court transcript at public expense, (I can't afford to pay as I'm in receipt of pension credit).
As a LIP and hard of hearing, (I only hear vowel sounds), I thought I might better understand the judge's decision to refuse my set aside application.

Just had an email back… permission refused-no explanation.

Just a further injustice meted out by this court, I suppose… I don't know where that leaves me, tbh. God, I am so sick of this.

Any luck with you all?

SNAP! Hi all! I'm currently in the same position as chnkmonky..I have my standard form K restriction from 2010 & my house is on the market. I somehow assumed/ wished solicitors would be educated by now...:cool:

I have even rung a solicitor who was recommended to me from this thread years ago only to waste both our time discussing the ins & outs of restrictions. I'm assuming the person who recommended this form used a different solicitor. So, if anyone is out there who knows of anyone clued up, please pm me their details.

Hi Dakota

I think you are going down the right route if your counterclaim has been struck out by the Court?

If you have made a Claim then the Court will issue the relevant papers to the person you are suing at the address you have provided.

What were the objections from the Solicitor you tried to use?

Hi Eggy,

The person gave me the name & number of a firm of solicitors & the one I was put through to ( very old school if you know what I mean) acted like I was asking him to help me burn down Parliament! So I'm doubtful he was the one that the person used & I couldn't ask to be put through to another solicitor there. It's such a shame. BUT in my search I have so far discovered that:
1.Southern solicitors are much more expensive
2. Northern solicitors are pretty much half the price & are much more clued up about restrictions/charging orders.

This is purely an observation, not a judgement.

Our estate agents are pushing several local solicitors to email us with their quotes as they get £100 referral fees & are therefore very expensive.

It's important to state here that you can use any solicitor in England & I believe Wales, so don't be forced into using someone local.

I shall keep you all posted on my progress in this (not so) fun matter!

I believe there are some solicitors who are un regulated and so are more likely to help with restrictions…the regulated ones are scared of being struck off… But anyone can do conveyancing… doesn't need to be a solicitor… D45

Yeah…fed up with fighting the court when they are so obviously against me…
So the court issues them with the claim & response pack, and then they get 14 days to acknowledge service, then another 2 weeks to serve a defence, is that correct?
