Yes. That agent was working on behalf of the solicitor and should have explained the entire process to you. If he assured you that you would pay nothing under any circumstances then the solicitor will have great difficulty in claiming any fees back.

In addition I am sure you would have the opportunity to seek the advice of a cost judge to ascertain if those fees were reasonable and true. It would have to be established that the audit fee was an acceptable disbursement because the agreement states the solicitor could only reclaim from you his disbursements should he decide the case would not be successful.
I am checking this out tomorrow

The reason that I am asking that is one of mine and I will have to check to see which one. When they wrote and told me that the service was coming round with the paperwork (they were usually ex cops) I was to ask no questions about the case oranything else. The gentleman was only there to explain the paperwork.

Why were you to ask no questions about "your" case? Only YOU knew your case didn't you? Also why were they usually "ex cops" that come round. Do you mean lots of ex cops or just the people that went round to everyone were the same ex cops??? This is so confusing as so many people were involved in all of this claiming.

Were these Agents on the payroll of Loancheck or the solicitor i.e.who arranged the appointments?

This is it where so many companies are involved in this. Who was working for who? Who got paid by who? No-one who has a claim actually knows any of this I don't think.

They were a company who were employed to get the paperwork done. They were usually retired ex policeman. Not only but mainly.

It was arranged by the Solicitor i believe. I understand it is common practice. Both my Solicitors did the same. I did not have to go to the office.

I will get my paperwork out and have a look so I can be more specific. Will probably be tomorrow as been rushing about today and am cooking roast now.

The man who came round was acting on behalf of the solicitor. Not Loancheck or anyone else. He could not discuss your case as he is not a solicitor so he cannot advise you on your particular circumstances.

His sole purpose is to fully explain the legal documentation and how it works, the fee structure and ensure that you understand what you are signing.

What you were told is important in this current situation.

This issue may be important in these particular cases but I still think that a resolution is in the wording of the agreements themselves.

So really everyone is contracted to the solicitor really once they have gone through from Loancheck and accepted they want Loancheck to pass the case over. Is that where Loanchecks (or whoever else passes these cases) liability ends then?
