My sister had a letter from the legal services commission concerning the charge on her house regards legal aid,she could not believe it ,the interest is 3.79p a day ,i think the interest rate is 8%,she had to be represented at court to fight to stay in the family house for her and the chidren(her ex tryed to force her to sell it )the solicitors and legal advisors she had were rubbish and not worth the vast amount they were paid,but at the time she would have not have had a clue how to represent herself which i believe can be quite daunting ,she can only pay this large bill if she sells the house but in the mean time i wonder if she could have the interest froze?By the way her ex represented himself so has no bill and also recieves a share in property when sold even though he has not paid a penny towards the property or towards the children .!
