Loancheck/Watsons Solicitors

millwallpaul, before you make a decision please ring stokes and voice your concerns. Did you get a covering letter from them with a part highlighted NO WIN NO FEE?

The new CFA from Stokes makes even worse reading than Watsons to be honest so I won't be signing with them. It basically reads that I am liable for all or part of basic fees, disbursments and success fee and they will try to get me it back from the defendant, but no promises. They also want me to start without an insurance against charges if I lose and they will endevour to get me one as the case progresses. It is all one sided and leaves me open to charges at the end win or lose with little say on how my case progresses.

I will fire a letter off to Mr Watson asking for written confirmation that my contract has been cancelled with no charges. Do you think I should write to Black Night as well stating that I no longer wish to pursue the claim, as they seem to be the driving force now. In their letter they state that because they provide disbursement funding to Watsons in connection with my case, they are in a position to remove my file from a solicitor if they are not acting in my best interests.

Max, Citizens Advice told me that the 28 days wasn't a good argument as it only states he will endevour to update on progress every 28 days. The best argument is what Black Night used to explain to me why they had taken it off Watsons:

In accordance with Rule 2.1 of Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007, a solicitor is required to cease acting for a client in the following circumstances:-

(a) When to act would involve the solicitor in a breach of the law or a breach of the rules of professional conduct;

(b) Where a solicitor has insufficent resources or lack of competance to deal with the matter.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully this all works out and I ain't tied to anyone anymore, but does that then mean that my claim is dead in the water or are there other avenues I can go down on my own.

If you decide not to go down the solicitor route then perhaps the insurer route is another way.

Wow, still not enough for what he suffered in my eyes. No amount of money can really be put on that.
That solicitor does hospital born infection too. My hubby got MRSA.

So sorry to hear that Natalie. How have you got pneumonia? From a lingering chest infection usually.

I had a bad cold that turned into a chest infection that turned to pneumonia.

Hubby went shopping & collapsed in supermarket, his legs packed up, gone to clinic today & was admitted for intensive treatment.

That is fine that is Solicitors working as they should be. Most the time they are ambulance chasers. Somebody trips over a pavement cause they had the wrong shoes on or were just clumsy and they sue. My friend fell down a pot hole and broke her ankle. Councils fault yes we all know. She went to hospital and they gave her a card for an ambulance chaser.:(
