Chasing solicitors annoys me

Thats all I wanted to say really:mad: :mad: :mad:

Am currently ringing them at least once a day to see what's happening. It seems that things only move along when I make a phone call chasing them up...glad I changed to primus option 3 (call all non mobile numbers anytime for £3.49 each month) during the offer a couple of months ago in preparation for this time!!!!!

Anyone else wanting to vent about solicitors, please do so here.

madfrenchgirl, take it away!

    Yes we phone ours 2 or 3 times a week and things seem to stay the same.
    It seems by only us reminding them, they then do things,or our file is placed away til they get another letter from somebody!!!
    Wish we could do it all ourselves sometimes,I am sure we'd all do a better job.

    Me too! Fed up with the stupid people. I'm sure our move could have been carried out weeks ago if I could just chase the people involved myself, rather than nag the solicitor to do it. WHY DON'T PEOPLE JUST DO THEIR JOBS??? AAARRGGHHH!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Not very MSE, but the best £50 you ever paid no doubt!
