Is it legal...

  • Just heard back after getting some legal advice. The answer is that they do have to note that the payment was made under duress. It is recommended to pay by cheque and physically write this on the cheque as in this does not allow anyone to 'forget'.

    I do appreciate everyone help, however, I would remind everyone that places like this are great for opinions and help but always make sure you get advice from proper experts to be 100% sure.

    Even paid for legal advice is only an opinion otherwise if there was always a "right" answer you wouldn't get solicitors and barristers on opposing sides.

    You're absolutely right though, if you want advice you can take action against if it is incorrect then pay for it.
